Minor Surgical Procedures in Dentistry
Minimally invasive dental surgeries that treat common oral health issues safely and effectively.
Minor surgical procedures in dentistry are designed to treat common oral health problems using minimally invasive techniques, usually performed under local anesthesia. These procedures help manage conditions such as impacted teeth, gum infections, and soft-tissue abnormalities while ensuring patient comfort and faster recovery.
At Dr. Joe’s Dental Hospital, patients receive expert minor oral surgical care that restores function and prevents future complications.
