What Does an Oral Surgeon Treat?

Has your dentist told you they can’t extract your broken tooth? If they have recommended an oral surgeon near you in Chicago, you might feel fear, panic, and even more stress. However, if you’ve been told you need a surgeon, it likely means you need more precise care than they can provide. For complex wisdom tooth removal or dental implants, the pain of the process often starts with the logistics.

Many of our patients in Chicago struggle with referral fatigue from being bounced from one office for a scan to another for the actual maxillofacial surgery. At Chicago Dental Specialists, we’ve eliminated that friction. We bring the diagnostic technology and the oral surgery specialist Chicago trusts into one coordinated space, so you can stop managing appointments and start healing.

Surgical Extractions and Impacted Teeth

Teeth that cannot be removed with a standard tooth extraction may require a surgical option. This procedure is common for impacted or broken teeth below the gumline. The end goal of a surgical extraction is to relieve pain or infection, or to prevent damage to nearby teeth.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

We also provide safe wisdom tooth extraction in Chicago. Wisdom teeth removal is a delicate process that is done to remove your third molars to prevent pain, infection, crowding, or damage to surrounding teeth. If you have impacted wisdom teeth or recurring symptoms, it’s time to have them removed. Wisdom tooth removal is common for teens and young adults, or patients referred to us by their dentist.

Facial Trauma and Complex Surgical Needs

Maxillofacial surgery starts with an evaluation, and a treatment plan is put together. Facial trauma from accidents or injuries is our specialty and requires more support than general dentistry can provide.
