It is common to confuse dentists and oral maxillofacial surgeons. They both work on teeth and gums, after all, and collaborate in patient care. But dentists refer patients to surgeons for problems outside their abilities, such as the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, placement of dental implants, treatment of gum disease, treatment of face and jaw injuries and diseases, and jaw reconstruction and bone grafting. If you need braces, you may be sent to a surgeon before or after an orthodontist. This type of dental professional goes through more training than a dentist, particularly in the area of anesthesia. Dr. Scott Puckett of Wilmington Oral Surgery regularly administers IV sedation as well as general anesthesia. He uses the latest technologies, such as 3-D Cone Beam CT and Laser Surgery to reduce the amount of time and discomfort involved in oral surgery.
