What is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery is any type of surgery involving your mouth, teeth, jaws, or the supporting structures around them. You may need oral surgery if you have a tooth that needs extraction, you need dental implants placed, you’ve had trauma to your mouth, you have periodontal disease, or you want to change the esthetics of your mouth.

Oral surgery of any kind will require recovery time and after care. Some procedures use lasers, however, which drastically reduces bleeding, swelling, pain, and healing time.

Common Oral Surgery Procedures

While Dr. Stryker is qualified to perform a variety of oral surgery procedures, here are some of the most common:

  • Dental tooth extractions
  • Dental Implants
  • Sinus lifts
  • Bone contouring for dentures
  • Bone grafting
  • Soft tissue grafting
  • Biopsies
