Dental surgery is a branch of dentistry that involves surgical procedures to treat a variety of conditions related to the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. These procedures may include the extraction of teeth, the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, the placement of dental implants, and the treatment of oral diseases and injuries.

Dental surgery is typically performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who is a dental specialist with extensive training in surgical procedures related to the mouth, jaw, and face. The surgeon may use a variety of surgical tools and techniques, including local or general anesthesia, to ensure patient comfort and safety during the procedure.

Dental surgery can help to alleviate pain, prevent further oral health problems, and improve the overall appearance and function of the teeth and jaws.
