Oral surgery also includes implants and placing of bone grafts.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction:

The most common oral surgical process is surgery wisdom tooth removal, particularly when wisdom teeth create pain or pose future dental risks. Wisdom teeth often erupt later in life, and not everyone's jaw has adequate room for them. Infected wisdom teeth can ultimately cause pain, infection, and alignment issues. However specific signs may differ person to person.
