Advanced Surgical Care for Your Mouth, Jaw, and Face
Oral and maxillofacial surgery addresses conditions affecting the teeth, jaws, and facial structures that general dentistry cannot resolve alone. These procedures often require specialized training to manage complex anatomy safely and effectively.
Patients in Richmond, Chesterfield, and Petersburg turn to Best Smiles South Side because our surgical team stays current with modern techniques and imaging technology. This allows us to plan each procedure with accuracy, reducing surgery time and supporting a smoother recovery.
Our practice performs oral and maxillofacial surgery in Richmond, VA for patients dealing with impacted teeth, jaw irregularities, facial injuries, and other conditions that require surgical intervention. We take time to explain every step of the process so patients feel informed and prepared before their procedure.
Common Reasons Patients Need Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Several conditions may lead a dentist to recommend surgical treatment rather than a standard procedure. Some of the most common reasons include the following.
Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or crowding
Jaw misalignment affecting bite function or facial symmetry
Facial trauma from accidents or injuries
Cysts or tumors in the jaw or facial bones
Severe tooth decay or damage requiring surgical extraction
Bone grafting needed to support future dental implants
