Oral and maxillofacial surgeons – saving faces, changing lives
While Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are best known for extracting wisdom teeth, we do that and much more – everything from reconstructing faces shattered by trauma to surgically correcting misaligned jaws to cancer surgery of the face and neck.
What is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are dentists specializing in surgery of the mouth, face and jaws. After four years of dental school, OMSs receive four to seven years of hospital-based surgical and medical training, preparing them to do a wide range of procedures including all types of surgery of both the bones and soft tissues of the face, mouth and neck.
