Oral Surgery is the specialty of Dentistry dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of alterations, lesions and pathologies of the oral cavity and attached structures.
Correcting the oral cavity alterations and pathologies significantly improves the aesthetic and functional capacity, namely the phonetic, chewing and swallowing functions, in many cases with visible results in patients' self-confidence and social involvement.
More complex clinical cases require that other specialties such as Implantology, Orthodontics, Prosthodontics or Periodontology, work in conjunction with Oral Surgery, favoring in these situations an integrated and multidisciplinary treatment plan.
Because it deals with often complex surgical procedures, the clinical team includes an anesthesiologist, making it possible for the patient to safely and comfortably perform some interventions under general anesthesia.
