Dental surgery is that part of dentistry that involves a number of medical procedures aimed at artificially altering the dentition in order to treat dental caries. Dental caries (tooth cavity or tooth decay) is the condition where the hard tooth structure (dentin, cementum, and enamel) are damaged by bacterial processes. A more specialized type of dental surgery is maxillofacial and oral surgery.

Dental surgery involves filling the decayed tooth with dental composite, dental amalgam, dental porcelain, and expensive or non-expensive metals. X-rays, devices, and medications are prescribed by the dentists for in-office or in-home use. All the services can found at San Diego dental surgery.
