Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in South Bend, IN
If you need an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in South Bend, IN, you want a team you can trust with your face, mouth, and jaw. At South Bend Oral Surgery, our board-certified surgeons focus on the bones, soft tissues, and structures that connect your teeth, jaws, and facial features. We treat patients of all ages, from teenagers getting their wisdom teeth removed to adults who need full-mouth dental implants.
What an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Does
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a dental specialist who completes four or more years of hospital-based surgical residency after dental school. That training covers anesthesia, complex extractions, facial trauma, reconstructive surgery, and oral pathology. In short, your oral surgeon handles the procedures your general dentist refers out.
Common reasons South Bend patients are referred to our office include:
- Impacted wisdom teeth that need surgical removal
- Missing teeth that can be replaced with dental implants
- Bone loss in the upper or lower jaw that needs grafting
- Suspicious lumps, sores, or biopsies of the mouth and jaw
- TMJ disorders that have not responded to other treatment
