Surgical dentistry is a dental field that practices treatments such as: tooth extraction surgery, bone grafting, tooth preparation and implants, as well as a variety of aesthetic surgeries in periodontics.
Dental surgery also includes tooth extraction. In cases where treatment is ineffective and tooth extraction is necessary, the dental surgeon will remove the tooth professionally, quickly and without pain. Wisdom teeth that have grown incorrectly or are in the way can also be extracted. When tooth extraction is performed by dental surgeon, the risk of complications is minimized. Surgeons also remove dental cysts located on the root apex.
In addition, every specialist in surgical dentistry will advise the patient about dentures or even implants in place of the missing tooth before removing it.
