With the use of IV anesthesia, oral surgery is a pleasant, safe experience. You will be in a pleasant state and will have no memory of the procedure and little or no memory of time slightly before and just after the procedure.
Many simple extractions can be performed by a general dentist. However, since an oral surgeon has special training, dentists will usually refer patients for the removal of damaged, impacted, or severely decayed teeth, including wisdom teeth. Patients who would be more comfortable receiving sedation or general anesthesia during surgical procedures are usually referred to an oral surgeon.
Very few people have the space for their third molars (wisdom teeth) and most people do not need these teeth to function properly. Wisdom teeth can often be impacted in the bone, preventing the normal eruption process (pushing through the gum tissue). Most dentists will recommend extraction of wisdom teeth to prevent problems such as crowding of other teeth, which can be a serious problem with orthodontics, and possible infection. A major health problem associated with impacted wisdom teeth can be Jaw Cysts and Jaw Tumors.
Jaw Reconstruction
Jaw reconstruction is achieved by extending the mandible with the utilization of a distraction device to "stretch" the bone.

Dr. Matt Johnson removes impacted, damaged, and non-restorable teeth. Impacted teeth can cause serious problems if not managed properly. Some of these problems include infection, possible crowding of teeth, and even the development of cysts in the jaw, which can lead to tumors.

Cosmetic Facial Surgery
