What is oral surgery?

Oral surgery is a specialized procedure to treat dental conditions that affect your oral health. It’s also used to treat patients cosmetically for the purpose of enhancing your smile. 

At Gables Family Dental, the practice’s first priority is to consider the least invasive treatments. However, sometimes oral surgery is the best option for resolving an issue.
