Oral surgery includes a number of surgical dental treatments. The goal of oral surgery is to improve the function, health and appearance of your child's smile and the surrounding structures, such as your jaw. In many cases, we strive to provide the most conservative treatment possible. However, oral surgery may be necessary to correct certain conditions and improve your child's oral and overall health. Oral surgery may include:

• Tooth extraction (for teeth that are decayed, damaged or infected to the point that an effective restoration is impossible)
• Wisdom teeth removal (for wisdom teeth that are impacted or have grown in at an incorrect angle)
• Jaw surgery (to treat a TMJ disorder or correct uneven jaw growth)
• Frenulectomy (to relieve tongue-tie and lip-tie and restore your child's quality of life)

While we provide many oral surgery treatments at our office, we also work closely with other dental professionals and hospitals to ensure that your child receive the high-quality results they deserve. Our pediatric dentist will carefully evaluate your child's smile and their needs to determine whether oral surgery is the best available treatment choice for them.

Our team is committed to ensuring that your child's oral surgery is as comfortable as possible. Please feel free to contact us today to learn more about oral surgery and schedule your individual consultation!
