What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery refers to a variety of surgical procedures performed in and around the mouth to treat problems that cannot be resolved with non-surgical care. Common examples include tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and bone grafting to prepare for dental implants. Each procedure is used to address a specific need.
At SOMI Smile, oral surgery is always approached conservatively and thoughtfully. We take a comprehensive view of your health, recommending surgery only when it is the best path to protecting your smile and your comfort. We never recommend a procedure you do not need.
Whether you need a single extraction or more involved care, modern technique and effective anesthesia make these procedures far more comfortable than many people expect. Gentle technique makes a real difference in comfort.
Your care begins with a thorough evaluation and digital imaging to plan the procedure precisely. The area is fully numbed for your comfort, and Dr. Janet Gonzalez performs the surgery with careful, gentle technique. We then explain aftercare clearly and check in on your recovery. Your comfort and reassurance guide every step, which is exactly how surgical care should feel in Miami. You always understand the plan before we begin. Clear communication eases any worry. You always feel informed and at ease. Comfort is at the heart of every visit.
