Understanding Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is a broad term that covers a variety of procedures performed on teeth, gums, and jaws as well as the surrounding facial and oral structures. The procedures are designed to address a variety of dental and medical problems, from simple extractions to complex surgeries. Reston Heights Dental offers a variety of oral surgery procedures including:

  1. Tooth extractions: This includes the removal of wisdom teeth, teeth with severe decay, and teeth that cannot be repaired.
