Oral Surgery: Precision, Expertise, and Comprehensive Care for Your Oral Health

Restoring Function, Enhancing Aesthetics, and Alleviating Pain with Specialized Surgical Solutions.

Introduction to Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery, officially known as Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), is a highly specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, surgical and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects involving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. This encompasses the mouth, jaws, face, and associated structures.

Our dedicated team of oral surgeons combines extensive medical and dental training with state-of-the-art technology to provide the highest standard of surgical care. Whether you're experiencing pain, dealing with an injury, or seeking to improve your oral health and facial aesthetics, we are committed to delivering safe, effective, and compassionate treatment tailored to your individual needs.

What is an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon?

An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is a dental specialist who has completed an additional 4-6 years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduating from dental school. This rigorous education equips them with an unparalleled understanding of complex surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, bone, and soft tissues of the face and jaw. They are highly skilled in:

• Diagnosis and treatment planning for a wide range of oral and facial conditions.
• Administering various levels of anesthesia, from local to IV sedation and general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety.
• Performing intricate surgical procedures with precision and expertise.
• Managing post-operative care and potential complications.

Many oral surgeons are also board-certified, signifying the highest level of commitment to their specialty through a challenging examination process.

Comprehensive Range of Oral Surgery Services

Our practice offers a full spectrum of advanced oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, utilizing the latest techniques and technologies for optimal outcomes:

• Dental Implants

  • A revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth, dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. We offer single implants, multiple implants, and full-arch solutions (e.g., All-on-4®).

• Wisdom Teeth Extractions

  • Surgical removal of impacted or problematic third molars (wisdom teeth) to prevent pain, infection, crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth. We offer various sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience.

• Bone Grafting & Ridge Augmentation

  • Procedures to rebuild or enhance bone volume in the jaw, often necessary to support dental implants, improve denture fit, or repair defects. This includes sinus lifts, block grafts, and particulate grafts.

• Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)

  • Surgical correction of misaligned jaws and bite discrepancies (malocclusion) that cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone. This improves chewing, speaking, breathing, and facial aesthetics.

• TMJ Disorder Treatment

  • Diagnosis and management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can cause pain, clicking, limited jaw movement, and headaches. Treatment ranges from non-surgical interventions to arthroscopy and open joint surgery.

• Facial Trauma Surgery

  • Repair of fractures involving the jawbone, cheekbones, eye sockets, and nose, as well as treatment for soft tissue injuries (lacerations) of the face and mouth, restoring both form and function.

• Oral Pathology Diagnosis & Treatment

  • Biopsy, diagnosis, and surgical removal of suspicious lesions, cysts, tumors, and other abnormal growths in the mouth, jaws, and facial region. Early detection is key.

• Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

  • Procedures performed to prepare the mouth for the placement of dentures or other prosthetic devices, ensuring a stable, comfortable, and well-fitting restoration. This may include bone smoothing or soft tissue contouring.

• Impacted Canine Exposure & Bracketing

  • Surgical exposure of impacted canine teeth, often in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, to guide them into their proper position within the dental arch.

• Sleep Apnea Surgery

  • Surgical interventions to improve the airway and reduce or eliminate obstructive sleep apnea, often performed in conjunction with other medical specialists.

When Might You Need Oral Surgery?

You might be referred to an oral surgeon or consider seeking their expertise if you experience:

• Persistent oral pain or discomfort not resolved by general dentistry.
• Difficulty chewing, speaking, or swallowing due to jaw problems.
• Missing one or more teeth and considering dental implants.
• Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or other issues.
• A facial injury resulting in fractures or severe lacerations.
• Jaw joint pain, clicking, or locking (TMJ disorder).
• Diagnosis of an oral cyst, tumor, or lesion.
• A congenital jaw or facial deformity requiring correction.
• The need for bone grafting before implant placement.
• Chronic snoring or sleep apnea requiring surgical intervention.
