ORAL SURGERY
Maxillofacial and oral surgeons are specialized dentists that perform a wide range of medical procedures pertaining to the mouth, face, and jaw. To become a licensed maxillofacial and oral surgeon, a dentist must complete four years of dental school, as well as an additional four to seven years of hospital-based surgical training. Throughout their training, they learn how to perform surgeries that involve the bones and soft tissues of the mouth, neck, and face.
At Salo & Salo Dental, our maxillofacial and oral surgeons have years of experience performing oral surgery, such as wisdom teeth extractions, surgical tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting, and biopsies.
When choosing Salo & Salo Dental for oral surgery, you can rest assured knowing that our team is known for specializing in a wide range of oral surgeries that aim to correct various issues and our team is committed to working closely with you to ensure that you receive the best possible treatment plan specific to your needs.

Common Types of Oral Surgery
There are many different types of common oral surgeries, including:
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When a wisdom tooth doesn’t have any room to grow, it is considered to be an impacted wisdom tooth and can result in pain, infection, or other dental issues. As a result, if you have an impacted wisdom tooth, you’ll likely have to have it pulled. However, even if a wisdom tooth is not impacted, many dentists and oral surgeons still recommend having it pulled to prevent any potential issues in the future.
Gum Graft: A gum graft may be necessary to protect your teeth from the harmful effects caused by gum recession or some patients may choose to have a gum graft to improve their smile.
Dental Implants: For one or more missing teeth, dental implantation is a highly effective procedure that is done by securing the implant to the jaw bone and acts as a completely functional, natural-looking tooth replacement. Dental implants allow you to smile, eat, laugh, and talk with complete confidence, without ever having to worry about them slipping like dentures often do.
Root Canal: A root canal is a procedure done to relieve dental pain and save your teeth. When there is an infection or inflammation present in the root of your tooth, then a root canal may be done to remove the pulp inside of your tooth, clean and disinfect the root canal, and place a filling to seal the space.
At Salo & Salo Dental, we offer many different types of highly effective oral surgeries. Our team is here to help relieve your pain and improve your oral health. Contact our team to schedule a consultation with our oral surgeon in Beverly Hills to determine what is best for you.
When Would I Need Oral Surgery?
For dental problems that involve the tooth or jaw that go beyond the skills of a general dentist, you may need oral surgery. For example, if your wisdom teeth become impacted, the removal of your wisdom teeth may require an oral surgeon. Additionally, if you need root canal treatment, then an oral surgeon may need to perform the procedure. However, the best way to determine if you need oral surgery is by scheduling an exam with your general dentist to determine if oral surgery may be necessary for you. Your dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon if necessary.
Do You Offer Sedation Dentistry?
Yes, at Salo & Salo Dental, our staff is highly trained and experienced in providing sedation dentistry for our patients. Sedation dentistry is general anesthesia that is offered in an office setting and provides a more comfortable experience for patients who undergo oral surgery. We offer a range of sedation dentistry and our team will work closely with you to determine what type of sedation dentistry is right for you.
When general anesthesia is administered, our team will closely monitor you throughout the entire procedure and during the recovery period. As a highly trusted team specializing in sedation dentistry, we are committed to ensuring that your procedure and experience is as comfortable as possible.
