WHAT IS AN ORAL SURGEON?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (often shortened to ‘oral surgeon’) is the surgical specialist of the dental profession.  This requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduating from dental or medical school.  Their thorough understanding of both aesthetics and function of the facial structure uniquely qualified oral surgeons to diagnose, treat and manage conditions of the mouth, teeth, jaws and face.
