What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery is a type of dental care that involves the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and management of problems in the oral cavity. An oral surgeon can treat and correct any issues relating to your: 

  • Teeth:

    Oral surgery involving teeth may include extractions, dental implants, or treatments for infections. Our skilled oral surgeons use the latest techniques to ensure a pain-free experience, restoring your smile and oral health.

    Gum surgeries, such as gum grafting or treatment for gum recession, can improve the health and appearance of your gums. Our compassionate team will ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process.

  • Jaws:

  • Hard Palate:

    Surgery involving the hard palate may be necessary for issues like bone grafting. Our experienced oral surgeons will answer all your questions and ensure you understand your treatment options.

What Procedures Can an Oral Surgeon Do?

Oral surgeons are trained to handle a variety of issues depending on your circumstances. At Core Dentistry in Fort Mill, SC, Dr. Alexander can provide the following types of oral surgery:


  • Tooth extraction, including impacted wisdom teeth 

If you have a tooth that is badly decayed, broken, or impacted, you may need to have it extracted. This is a simple procedure that will remove the affected tooth in order to protect your surrounding teeth from damage. Extraction is especially helpful if you have impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause infection, pain and overcrowding. 


  • Dental implant placement

For those who have lost one or more permanent teeth, dental implants are a fantastic solution. In order to receive your replacement tooth, you first need to have the metal dental implant surgically placed in your gums. Our clinic uses the latest technology to ensure that your dental implants are sturdy and comfortable, just like your natural teeth. 


  • Oral bone grafts

Your upper or lower jawbone can become weak over time if you are missing one or more teeth. In some cases, you may need a bone graft before you can get a dental implant to replace your missing teeth. This procedure will strengthen your jawbone and enable the implant surgery to be more successful.
