Oral Surgery Procedures

Welcome to True North Oral Surgery & Implants—where your oral health is our priority. Our expert team is dedicated to providing compassionate care through a comprehensive range of specialized oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures tailored to your needs.

What Are Oral Surgery Procedures?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery encompasses a variety of complex procedures aimed at addressing dental issues that cannot be resolved with general dentistry alone. These surgical procedures require precision and advanced training to ensure optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. From dental implants to orthognathic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgeons can help restore and enhance your oral health, offering long-term solutions tailored to your unique requirements.

Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained in the full range of surgical procedures affecting the mouth, jaw, face, and surrounding structures. This includes dentoalveolar surgery—procedures involving the teeth and supporting bone of the oral cavity, such as wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, and implant placement—as well as more complex jaw surgery and reconstructive services that go beyond the scope of general dentistry.

Benefits of Oral Surgery Procedures

  • Enhanced Functionality: Many oral surgery procedures restore the ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence – including preserving natural teeth whenever possible – significantly improving your quality of life.
  • Improved Aesthetics: By addressing structural and alignment issues, maxillofacial surgery can contribute to a more balanced and attractive appearance.
  • Long-Term Solutions: Procedures like dental implants offer durable, permanent solutions that can last a lifetime with proper care, saving you time and money on future dental treatments.
  • Comprehensive Care: Our oral surgeons work closely with you to provide surgical care, ensuring each procedure aligns with your personal health goals and treatment plan.
