What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery includes procedures that address issues affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures. These treatments can involve removing damaged teeth, treating infections, preparing the mouth for future dental work, or correcting conditions that affect daily comfort.

While the term “surgery” can sound overwhelming, many of these procedures are routine, predictable, and performed comfortably with local anesthesia. Dr. Hernandez focuses on minimally invasive techniques and personalized care that make the process smooth and stress-free.

Common oral surgery needs include extractions, impacted teeth, infection control, and treatment of oral lesions or gum-related concerns.

Your Oral Surgery Experience at Minty Fresh Miami

Your visit begins with a thorough evaluation and conversation. Dr. Hernandez takes time to understand your symptoms, review X-rays, and explain your treatment options in a way that makes you feel informed and confident. Patients especially appreciate how she breaks down complex information into simple, reassuring steps.

During the procedure, your comfort is the priority. The area is numbed completely, and gentle techniques are used to minimize pressure and reduce healing time. You are guided through each stage so you always know what’s happening and what to expect.

After the procedure, you’ll receive clear aftercare instructions, pain-management guidance, and personalized recommendations to support smooth healing. Our team checks in on you and remains available should you have any questions or concerns while recovering.

Benefits of Oral Surgery

Oral surgery doesn’t just treat a problem—it prevents complications and helps restore long-term comfort and function. These procedures can:

  • Remove infection before it spreads

  • Relieve pain caused by impacted or damaged teeth

  • Prepare the mouth for orthodontics, implants, or other restorations

  • Improve chewing comfort and oral stability

  • Protect gum and bone health

  • Prevent future dental emergencies

Taking action early ensures faster healing and better outcomes for your overall oral health.
