dental surgeons

Mouth operation specialists

Dental surgeons are dentists who perform surgical procedures on the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures.

The term covers oral surgeons who handle complex extractions, implants, and reconstructive work, but may also refer to general dentists performing routine surgical procedures like wisdom tooth removal: The dental surgeon removed three impacted molars.
