- To repair or replace damaged or missing teeth: Oral surgery is often necessary to extract damaged or decayed teeth and to place dental implants to replace missing teeth.
- To treat infections and diseases: Oral surgery can treat conditions such as periodontal disease, oral cancer, and cysts or tumors in the jaw.
- To improve appearance: Oral surgery can be used to improve the appearance of the face and teeth, such as with orthognathic surgery to correct jaw misalignment and improve facial symmetry.
