Oral Surgery
Oral surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating complex dental conditions that require surgical care. These procedures help relieve pain, prevent infection, and protect long-term oral health when non-surgical treatments are not sufficient.
Modern oral surgery techniques prioritize patient comfort, safety, and efficient healing while restoring oral function and well-being.
When Is Oral Surgery Recommended?
Oral surgery may be recommended if you:
- Have a tooth that cannot be saved
- Experience persistent dental pain or infection
- Have impacted or painful wisdom teeth
- Need to prevent future dental complications
- Have overcrowding affecting oral health
A professional evaluation helps determine whether oral surgery is the best course of treatment.

Tooth Removal / Extractions
Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected and cannot be preserved. The procedure helps relieve pain, prevent infection, and protect surrounding teeth and gums.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal is recommended when third molars become impacted, painful, or difficult to clean. Removing wisdom teeth can help prevent infection, crowding, and future oral health issues.
