An oral surgeon is a dental specialist who has received advanced training in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of surgical problems related to the mouth, teeth, and jaw. They perform a wide range of procedures, including the removal of impacted teeth, placement of dental implants, and correction of jaw and facial deformities. They also perform procedures such as biopsies, bone grafting and the management of oral cancer. They use surgical instruments and techniques to access and repair damaged or diseased areas of the mouth, jaw and face. They are also trained to manage complications and provide care for patients before, during and after surgery. They also work closely with other dental specialists, such as orthodontists, to provide comprehensive care for their patients.
