Oral Surgeon Jobs in Illinois

An Oral Surgeon, also known as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, provides complex treatments to conditions affecting the mouth, teeth, jaw, and face. Their roles within the dental industry include performing surgical procedures such as removing impacted teeth, placing dental implants, reconstructing facial trauma, and treating oral cancers. They play a critical role in the industry by providing treatments that are beyond the scope of general dentists and require specialized surgical expertise.

To become an Oral Surgeon, one must possess certain qualifications and skills. An Oral Surgeon should have a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree from an accredited dental school, and complete a hospital-based oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program, which typically lasts 4-6 years. They must also obtain a state license to practice dentistry and in some cases, they may need to be board certified. Crucial skills for an Oral Surgeon include manual dexterity, physical stamina, and excellent interpersonal skills as they often work with patients who may be anxious about surgery. Prior to becoming an Oral Surgeon, a professional may work as a General Dentist, Dental Hygienist, or Maxillofacial Surgery Resident.
