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.
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.
