Common questions about oral surgeons
What does an oral surgeon do?
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon treats conditions of the mouth, jaws, and face that go beyond routine dentistry. After dental school they complete a hospital-based surgical residency of four to six years. Common procedures include wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, jaw surgery, treatment of facial injuries, and biopsies — often with IV sedation or general anesthesia.
Do I need a referral to see an oral surgeon?
Often no. Many patients are referred by their general dentist for wisdom teeth or implants, but most oral surgery offices also accept patients directly — especially for tooth extractions and consultations. Bring any X-rays or a referral note if you have them; it can save you an extra imaging visit.
How do I book an oral surgery consultation?
Call a practice from the list above, or book online at offices marked "on Intake.Dental." Intake-verified offices collect your medical history, medications, and consent forms digitally before the visit — important for surgical planning and anesthesia — and your free Patient Passport keeps those records with you for follow-up care anywhere.
