What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. This branch of surgery encompasses procedures that address not only the teeth and gums but also the jawbone, facial muscles and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. The scope of OMS includes, but is not limited to:

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo extensive training beyond dental school, including a residency in their specialty, to master these complex surgical techniques and provide comprehensive care.

When is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Recommended?

Your general dentist may recommend oral and maxillofacial surgery for conditions that cannot be treated effectively with more conservative methods. This includes:

  • Removing impacted or diseased teeth, including wisdom teeth
  • Reconstructive surgery to correct jaw alignment issues, which can affect chewing, speaking, and facial symmetry
  • More severe TMJ disorders, facial pain or malocclusions (bad bites)
  • Facial trauma
  • Placing dental implants
  • Treating oral cancers, providing surgical management of tumors and reconstructive procedures to restore appearance and function

Why Choose a Board-Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

All oral surgeons receive specialized training. However, a board-certified oral surgeon takes this advanced training a step further. Choosing a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, such as Dr. Becker, ensures that you are receiving care from a professional who has met rigorous standards in their field. Board certification signifies that the surgeon has completed an accredited residency training program, passed comprehensive examinations and demonstrated a commitment to continuing education and excellence in patient care.

These surgeons are equipped with the skills and knowledge to perform complex surgeries with precision and are up to date with the latest techniques and technologies in the field. Furthermore, board certified surgeons are adept at managing complications and coordinating with other dental and medical professionals to provide a comprehensive approach to treatment. When you choose a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, you are entrusting your care to an expert committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for your oral and overall health.
