From your everyday dental office to the hospital operating room, procedures from simple to complex are all done to meet the patients needs and exceed their expectations.

One of the most common types of oral and maxillofacial surgery that people incur is the removal of wisdom teeth that have become impacted. However; many other conditions are treated under this surgical category as well and some even overlap medical fields beyond dentistry. A few examples would include head and neck cancers, cosmetic surgeries, cleft lips, palatal birth defects, and facial trauma that one has incurred.

Oral & maxillofacial surgery also covers extractions and placing dental implants. The surgeon works in partnership with the dentist ro replace missing teeth, as well as with orthodontists to help straighten teeth with jaw surgery to ensure that the patients’ bite is exactly as it should be.

Aside from dental procedures, oral & maxillofacial surgery is utilized for cosmetic procedures. Surgeons provide laser skin procedures, botox for aging and wrinkles, and dermal fillers. More complex surgeries are also completes as needed.
