Wisdom tooth extractions are common surgical procedures. Wisdom teeth can often be removed via simple extraction. When they’re impacted, however, we need to incise the gums and surgically extract them.
We also perform jaw surgery when a person’s jaws aren’t properly aligned. This can lead to a better cosmetic appearance. Reconstructive surgeries are done after trauma to the face or for congenital anomalies.
