While the term “surgery” might seem daunting, at CarolinasDentist Cary, our goal is to demystify oral surgery and make it a positive, fear-free experience. We believe in informed, comfortable care for all our patients.

What Does Oral Surgery Include?

Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures that many are already acquainted with, such as tooth extractions, gum grafts, dental implants, and more. While oral surgery is usually thought of in its relationship with restorative dentistry, it’s used cosmetically as well. But, think of it like this: if your dentist needs to access the inside of your tooth or gums, it’s usually considered oral surgery.
