Specialized Surgical Care for Complex Dental Needs
Certain dental conditions extend beyond the teeth and gums, affecting the jawbone, facial structures, or surrounding tissue. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is designed to address these deeper issues, often correcting problems that general dentistry alone cannot resolve.
At Best Smiles Glen Allen, patients benefit from a team that stays current with modern surgical techniques and diagnostic imaging. This allows for accurate treatment planning, which helps minimize surgery time and supports a more predictable recovery.
Residents of Glen Allen, Short Pump, and the greater Richmond area choose our office for oral and maxillofacial surgery because we combine clinical expertise with a genuinely welcoming environment. We walk patients through every stage of care so they feel confident going into their procedure.
When Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery May Be Recommended
A dentist may refer a patient for surgical treatment for a range of reasons, including the following.
Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or infection
Jaw alignment issues affecting bite or facial balance
Injuries to the mouth, jaw, or face
Cysts or growths within the jawbone
Teeth too damaged or decayed for standard extraction
Bone grafting to prepare for future implant placement
