Tooth extractions are the most common reason for oral surgery, but several other conditions require the expertise of an oral surgeon.

• Wisdom teeth removal: When wisdom teeth are impacted or partially impacted, the seasoned doctors at Mill Basin Dentistry General Cosmetic provide comprehensive sedation dentistry for extractions of all types.
• Cleft palate surgery: An experienced oral surgeon can adjust and repair facial deformities caused by a cleft palate or cleft lip congenital disability.
• Corrective jaw surgery: Oral surgery repairs severe jaw misalignment that shifts the jaw into an extreme overbite or underbite and causes dental problems.
• Dental implants: To support a bridge, replace one or more teeth, or to fill in where teeth never erupted, dental implants require the skill of an oral health care professional with experience placing a titanium post into the jawbone.
• Bone grafting: When you need dental implants, but your jawbone isn’t strong enough to make you a candidate for the procedure, a bone graft builds up the bone in your jaw to make the procedure possible.
• Denture preparation: After teeth are extracted in preparation for dentures, the dentists at Mill Basin Dentistry General Cosmetic may reshape your alveolar ridge and reshape the gum tissues, so your new dentures fit correctly.
• Gum grafting: When your gums pull back from your teeth and expose your dental roots during gum recession, several threatening bacterial issues can occur. If gum disease is severe, an oral surgeon may recommend grafting skin from the roof of your mouth to repair the recession.
• Oral cancer: An oral surgeon can remove and biopsy cancerous lesions that your dentist discovers during your routine exam.
