Oral surgical procedures are performed by a doctor specializing in oral surgery. They are most commonly carried out for the following purposes:
Pre-prosthetic preparation, which includes the installation of artificial bone, implant placement, sinus floor elevation, ridge leveling and shaping, removal of retained tooth roots, etc.
Preservation of existing teeth, which includes resection of the apex of an infected tooth (apicoectomy), root resection of multi-rooted teeth, and extraction of impacted teeth.
All procedures are performed under local anesthesia and are painless.
