what is Oral Surgery

Oral surgery addresses problems such as badly decayed teeth, fractured roots, impacted or symptomatic wisdom teeth, and teeth that are not restorable. We prioritize minimally traumatic techniques, clear pre- and post-op guidance, and your comfort—from local anesthesia to sedation options as appropriate.
