Oral Surgery in Lakeville, MN

Wow, Oral Surgery! That can sound scary, huh? Well, surgery by definition simply means removing or altering a body tissue or structure. That is why dentists have a “Doctor of Dental Surgery” degree. Technically, removing decay and some tooth structure in the process of doing a simple filling counts as surgery.

So when we say Oral Surgery, what do we mean? Oral surgery commonly refers to the removal of teeth, known as “extractions.” Most times, the removal of one or several teeth can be readily accomplished in the office of a general dentist. These can include removal of:

  -Baby teeth ahead of their scheduled time
  -Removal of teeth as required by orthodontics
  -Removal of a tooth that cannot be restored and many other reasons.

A dentist experienced in oral surgery in Lakeville, MN can make the process of removing teeth less scary than you think. Visiting your dentist can also be less time-consuming than a trip to an Oral-Maxillofacial Surgeon.

That being said, it’s important to remember that there are situations where the Oral-Maxillofacial Surgeon is the way to go. Situations like advanced removals of impacted teeth or bone and skeletal repair after severe traumas may require cooperative efforts and treatment with Orthodontists or Periodontists.
