Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Restoring Health, Function, and Aesthetics to the Face and Jaws

Product Overview

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a highly specialized branch of dentistry and medicine focused 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. Our dedicated team of board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons possesses extensive training and expertise, committed to providing the highest standard of care using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology.

From routine wisdom tooth extractions to complex reconstructive jaw surgery and facial trauma repair, we are dedicated to improving our patients' health, comfort, and quality of life.

Key Features & Benefits

• Comprehensive Scope: Our practice covers a broad spectrum of procedures, addressing conditions from the simplest dental surgical needs to the most intricate facial and jaw reconstructions.
• Dual Focus: Function & Aesthetics: We understand that optimal outcomes involve not only restoring proper function (chewing, speaking, breathing) but also enhancing or maintaining facial harmony and aesthetics.
• Advanced Surgical Techniques: Utilizing the latest innovations in surgical planning, minimally invasive procedures, 3D imaging, and regenerative medicine for predictable and superior results.
• Patient-Centered Care: Every treatment plan is meticulously tailored to the individual patient's unique needs, health status, and desired outcomes, with a strong emphasis on comfort, safety, and clear communication.
• Expert & Board-Certified Surgeons: Our surgeons undergo rigorous training, including a minimum of four additional years of hospital-based surgical residency after dental school, often encompassing rotations in general surgery, internal medicine, anesthesia, and other medical specialties. They are continuously engaged in continuing education and often hold medical licenses in addition to dental licenses.
• State-of-the-Art Facilities: Equipped with modern surgical suites, advanced monitoring systems, and diagnostic imaging technology to ensure the highest standards of safety and care.
• Collaborative Approach: We work closely with referring dentists, orthodontists, ENT specialists, plastic surgeons, and primary care physicians to ensure integrated and comprehensive patient management.

• Oral Pathology: Biopsy and removal of cysts, tumors, and other lesions of the oral cavity and facial regions, including screening for oral cancer.
• Pre-Prosthetic Surgery: Procedures to prepare the mouth for dentures or other prosthetics, such as bone reshaping, tori removal, or soft tissue adjustments.
• Bone Grafting & Ridge Augmentation: Rebuilding bone volume in the jaws to support dental implants or improve the fit of dentures.
• Sleep Apnea Surgery: Surgical interventions to alleviate obstructive sleep apnea, often in conjunction with other treatments.
• Exposure of Impacted Canines: Surgically exposing and bonding orthodontic brackets to impacted canine teeth to guide them into proper position.
