Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
This specialty provides solutions for teeth indicated to be extracted, obtaining tissue biopsies that must be analyzed, and correcting problems related to the jaw bones.
Some of the reasons to visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon are:
- Teeth with fractures, deep cavities not treatable with endodontics or not restorable.
- Supernumerary teeth (extra teeth).
- As preparation for orthodontic treatment.
- Third molars with indication of extraction.
- Patients with prognathic and retrognathic jaws.
