When to see a oral surgeon

You may need an oral surgeon for impacted wisdom teeth, teeth requiring surgical extraction, jaw misalignment causing functional problems, TMJ disorders that have not responded to other treatments, facial trauma or fractures, suspicious oral lesions requiring biopsy, or preparation for dental implants that need bone grafting.

Typical costs

Wisdom teeth (all four): $1,500-3,000 · Bone graft: $300-800 · Jaw surgery: $5,000-50,000+

Common reasons to see a oral surgeon in Ramsey County, MN

Impacted wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth that are trapped beneath the gum or bone require surgical extraction. Oral surgeons perform these procedures regularly, often under IV sedation for comfort.

Dental implant surgery

Oral surgeons place dental implant posts and perform bone grafts when the jaw does not have enough volume to support an implant. They handle complex cases involving multiple missing teeth.

See prosthodontists for implant crowns and prosthetics →

Jaw surgery (orthognathic)

Severe jaw misalignment that braces alone cannot correct may require surgery to reposition the upper or lower jaw. Oral surgeons work with orthodontists to plan and execute these procedures.

Facial trauma and fractures

Broken jaws, cheekbones, and eye sockets from accidents or injuries require surgical repair. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in reconstructing facial bones and soft tissue.

Oral pathology and biopsies

Unusual lumps, sores, or lesions in the mouth that do not heal need evaluation. Oral surgeons perform biopsies to determine whether growths are benign or require further treatment.
