Oral surgery is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects in the oral and maxillofacial region- it includes the mouth, teeth, gums, jawbones, and facial bones. Oral surgery procedures range from routine extractions to more complex surgical procedures such as gum grafting, gum contouring, dental extractions, dental implant placement, jaw realignment, and treatment of facial trauma.
