What is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery includes specialized dental procedures that involve the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. It is often necessary when teeth are severely damaged, impacted, or infected, or when other complex issues affect the mouth’s function or health. At Nista Family Dental, we offer expert oral surgery services in a comfortable setting to restore oral health and support long-term wellness.

How Does Oral Surgery Help and What Are the Benefits?

Oral surgery resolves underlying problems and prevents complications, helping restore oral health and function:

  • Removes infected, impacted, or damaged teeth.
  • Prevents shifting or crowding from problem teeth.
  • Reduces the risk of future infections or cysts.
  • Alleviates chronic pain caused by wisdom teeth or trauma.
  • Protects bone and surrounding structures.
  • Prepares the mouth for restorative treatments like implants.
  • Improves comfort, function, and long-term stability.
