Maxillofacial Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is a highly sophisticated and important branch of dentistry. For dentists to become oral surgeons, they will have to go through several years of additional training after completing dental school. They also, sometimes, go by the name maxillofacial surgeons. Oral surgery is performed after the dentist conducts a thorough diagnosis and determines the patients’ candidacy for the operation.
