Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is a specialized field of medicine that requires years of training and experience and deals with the surgical treatment of the oral and maxillofacial region. This includes the mouth, teeth, gums, jaw, and facial structures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to replace missing or damaged teeth with artificial structures. These small titanium implants (posts) act as an artificial tooth root.
All-on-4® Implant Procedure
All-On-4® dental implants is a modern technique for replacing missing teeth using dental implants. It is also known as DIEM, Teeth in a Day, and Smile Today. These methods are known as hybrid bridges.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom tooth extraction can be a simple and straightforward procedure, but it is always important to be informed about all of your options before making a decision.
TMJ Arthroscopy
TMJ arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery used for diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders. TMJ disorders are a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint, which is the hinge joint that connects the jaw to the skull.
Hybrid Implants
Hybrid implants (hybrid dentures) are dental implants that combine the best features of traditional implants and dentures. Hybrid implants are placed in the jawbone like traditional implants, but they also have an attached denture.
Dental Bone Grafts
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that helps rebuild the jaw bone to help support dental implants. The goal of bone grafting is to preserve and enhance your existing bone or to rebuild bone that you may have lost over your lifetime.
Sedation Dentistry & Anesthesia
With new sedation methods, you can overcome your fear of dental surgery. Sedation helps reduce dental anxiety and discomfort during surgical procedures by sedating patients to keep them calm, relaxed, or even asleep throughout the treatment.
Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Orthognathic surgery (AKA jaw surgery) is a type of corrective jaw surgery that treats conditions of the jaw bones and face. This type of surgery aims to improve the function and appearance of the jaws and teeth.
Oral Diagnosis & Biopsies
When a oral surgeon examines a patient, they look at more than just teeth. They look in and around the oral cavity for anything that appears abnormal, such as color changes, ulcerations, or swellings. They also assess the lips, tongue, oral mucosa, gingiva, and palatal tissues.
Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which one or more teeth are removed. There are various reasons why you might need to have a tooth extracted. Learn about what to expect throughout and after your dental treatment.
Bonding and Brackets After Exposure
An impacted tooth is a common problem encountered during orthodontic treatment. Exposure of an impacted tooth is a surgical procedure needed to prepare the tooth for bonding and bracketing when the tooth is partially or entirely hidden below the surface of the gum tissue.
