What Is Considered Minor Oral Surgery?
Minor oral surgery refers to outpatient procedures performed under local anesthesia, often in a general dental setting. These treatments address structural or soft tissue issues that can't be resolved with cleanings, fillings, or preventive care.
Common minor oral surgery procedures we offer include:
- Simple and surgical tooth extractions
- Bone contouring or smoothing in preparation for dental implants
- Soft tissue surgery for overgrown or damaged gums
- Frenectomy (removal of restrictive tissue under tongue or lips)
- Biopsy of abnormal oral tissue
These procedures are often completed in a single visit and are essential to maintaining or restoring oral function, health, and comfort.
