Oral surgeons focus on diagnosing and treating conditions of the mouth, face, and jaws. Treatments within the oral surgery specialty range from tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and diagnosing oral pathologies to complex jaw reconstruction, facial trauma repair, and more!

During this time, they gain hands-on experience performing surgical procedures and administering anesthesia.
