What Is a Board Certified Oral Surgeon? Mt Laurel NJ


a doctor pointing to dental x-ray at Union Mill Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center in Mt Laurel, NJ When you come to Union Mill Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center for dental implants or other procedures that require oral surgery, you will meet with Dr. Fizza Jaffery, who is our board certified oral surgeon.

Board certified oral surgeons have years of study and a thorough understanding of what oral surgery involves. While everyone who practices oral surgery has to be fully licensed, those with a board certification have gone above and beyond what is required. They are the surgeons you want handling your oral surgery.

What Board Is Involved in Certifying Oral Surgeons?


The American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the governing organization for certification in the United States. It is recognized by the American Dental Association as the certification board for those who focus on this type of surgery.

How Does One Become Board Certified?


There are a number of steps to becoming a board certified oral surgeon. First, individuals have to submit proof that they have experience with many different types of oral surgery. These surgeries need to demonstrate familiarity with the procedure and their understanding of the underlying condition being treated.

Next, they must complete and pass an intensive certification exam. There is a written and an oral portion of this test. Those seeking board certification also have to pass the Oral Certifying Examination offered by the ABOMS. This is a set of four exams, each of which is 50 minutes long and focuses on a different area of oral surgery. It can take years for an oral surgeon to complete their board certification.

In addition to completing these exams, a surgeon can also take a subspeciality exam. This shows that they fully understand the areas they specialize in. Subspeciality certifications can be done in areas such as pre-prosthetic surgery, extraction, and sedation.

Dr. Fizza Jaffery's special interests include immediate placement of dental implants, complex bone grafting and full arch reconstruction.

How Does Board Certification Differ from Being Licensed?


Everyone who completes a dental degree and passes their state's licensing board has a license to practice dentistry. All board certified oral surgeons are licensed. They have elected to do more than is necessary, though, and seek certification. This shows that they are not just qualified to perform oral surgery, they have voluntarily put themselves through a rigorous testing process to show that they are one of the best.
