When your treatment involves surgery, an oral surgeon brings additional training and experience specifically focused on surgical care. From dental implants and bone grafting to complex extractions and full-arch treatment, that specialized background can be an important part of your care.
But it’s not about choosing between your dentist and an oral surgeon.
Your dentist knows your overall dental health. Your oral surgeon brings surgical expertise. And when they work together, you have a team looking at your care from every angle.
Sometimes, the best treatment plan involves more than one expert at the table.
