Frequently asked questions
What does an oral surgeon do?
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat conditions of the mouth, jaws, and face — including tooth extractions (especially wisdom teeth), dental implants, jaw realignment surgery, facial trauma repair, and treatment of oral pathology.
When should I see an oral surgeon instead of a general dentist?
Your general dentist will refer you when a case is beyond routine care: impacted wisdom teeth, complex extractions, dental implant placement, jaw alignment issues, oral biopsies, or facial trauma.
Is oral surgery covered by insurance?
Medically necessary oral surgery (e.g., impacted wisdom teeth, jaw surgery, biopsies) is often partially covered by dental and sometimes medical insurance. Cosmetic procedures usually are not. Always confirm coverage before scheduling.
Do I need a referral to see an oral surgeon?
Many oral surgeons accept self-referrals, but some insurance plans require a referral from your general dentist. Confirm with both the office and your carrier.
