About Our Patient Procedures:
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are unique among dentists in that they all have completed an additional four years of hospital-based training alongside medical residents, and can administer all types of anesthesia. If you have a diseased or impacted tooth that needs to come out, implants to be placed, a suspicious lesion that needs a biopsy, or any other oral health condition requiring surgical diagnosis or treatment, we can help.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting, a minor in-office surgical procedure, is commonly used in dentistry to correct deficiencies in bone quality and to build support for teeth or dental implants.
Facial Trauma & Reconstructive Surgery
-
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are capable of treating the full scope of injuries to the structures of the face, mouth or jaws including the teeth, the bones of the jaws and face, and the tissue of the skin and gums. We can also treat congenital defects such as cleft palate.
Implant Dentistry
-
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that deteriorates when even one tooth is lost.
Oral Diagnosis & Biopsies
-
When it comes to detecting certain oral or systemic (whole-body) diseases, a thorough dental exam may be your first line of defense.
Sedation Dentistry & Anesthesia
-
We want you to have the most comfortable dental treatment experience possible. That's why we offer sedation, to help you relax, and/or anesthesia, to block your sensations of pain.
Treating Dental Emergencies
-
We can treat a variety of traumatic dental injuries, including teeth that have been chipped, moved, or knocked out entirely.
Tooth Extractions (Wisdom Teeth)
-
There are times when it is in your best interest to have a tooth extracted (removed). This could be the case for a variety of reasons, including damage or trauma to the tooth; an impacted wisdom tooth that may cause trouble for you later on; or overcrowding.
