Oral surgery, also known as maxillofacial surgery, is a branch of dentistry that involves diagnosing, evaluating, and treating diseases, injuries, and defects in the mouth, jaws and face. This type of surgery focuses on treating conditions that are complex and require extensive training to address them effectively. The primary goal of oral surgery is to restore function and aesthetics for a healthy mouth, focusing on treating problems that can affect the hard and soft tissues that involve the mouth and skull.

It involves both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, which can help patients who suffer from various types of facial trauma or irregularity. Depending on the procedure or treatment needed, oral surgery can sometimes involve using surgical tools or drills for reshaping bones or performing biopsies if cancerous growths are suspected.
