What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is a specialized dental discipline that focuses on surgical procedures related to the teeth, jaws, and soft tissues of the face and neck. OMS encompasses a broad spectrum of treatments ranging from simple tooth extractions to complex surgeries such as corrective jaw surgery, bone grafting, trauma treatment, and removal of oral pathologies. This comprehensive approach to dental surgical care ensures that patients receive the best possible treatment for their specific needs.
Difference Between an Oral Surgeon and a Dentist
While general dentists and some dental specialists may perform minor oral surgeries, oral and maxillofacial surgeons are board-certified specialists with extensive training in surgical procedures involving the maxillofacial region. Their expertise and knowledge cover both minor and major oral surgeries, guaranteeing the highest quality of care for patients. By choosing an oral surgeon, patients can benefit from the specialized skills and experience required for complex surgical interventions.
Conditions Treated by Oral Surgeons
Oral surgeons possess the necessary skills and expertise to diagnose and treat a wide range of dental conditions. These include gum disease, tooth extraction (including wisdom teeth removal), dental implants, oral and neck cancer, reconstructive jaw surgery, cleft lip and palate repair, orthognathic surgery, sleep apnea surgery, and cosmetic procedures. The specialized training of oral surgeons allows them to provide advanced treatments and comprehensive care for various oral health issues, ensuring optimal outcomes for their patients.
Education and Qualifications
Becoming an oral and maxillofacial surgeon entails extensive education and training. Dentists must complete a dental degree (Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine) and subsequently pursue specialized training in an accredited oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program. Some oral surgeons may also hold medical degrees (Doctor of Medicine) in addition to their dental degrees, further enhancing their expertise in surgical care. This rigorous training equips oral surgeons with the knowledge and skills required to provide specialized care and tailored treatment plans for their patients.
When to See an Oral Surgeon
If you require specialized surgical treatment for conditions such as impacted wisdom teeth, dental implants, jaw misalignment, facial injuries, or oral pathologies, your general dentist may refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Seeking the expertise of an oral surgeon ensures that you receive personalized treatment plans and specialized care tailored to your specific dental needs. With their extensive training and experience, oral surgeons can address complex dental issues and provide optimal solutions for their patients.
