Oral Surgery in Lawrence, KS

What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, and jawbone—usually performed to address conditions that cannot be resolved through routine dental care. These procedures may be recommended to:

• Remove teeth that are damaged, impacted, or infected
• Prepare the mouth for dental implants or other restorations
• Address jaw alignment, bone loss, or oral trauma
• Treat infections or lesions that require surgical attention

At Jayhawk Dental, we perform a variety of in-office surgical treatments with advanced imaging, modern techniques, and compassionate care.
