Oral surgery refers to a variety of surgical procedures performed in or around the mouth and jaw. It encompasses a broad range of treatments, such as extraction of teeth, particularly wisdom teeth, dental implants, treatment of oral diseases, injuries or defects, and corrective surgeries for misaligned jaws. These procedures are carried out by specialized dental professionals known as oral surgeons, who have completed additional training beyond general dentistry. The goal of oral surgery is to improve oral health, function, and aesthetics while ensuring the patient's comfort and well-being.
