Wisdom Teeth Removal
Our board-certified surgeons perform safe, comfortable wisdom teeth extractions to prevent complications from impacted teeth. Using advanced imaging and anesthesia options, we ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure. Post-operative care includes detailed recovery instructions to prevent dry socket and promote healing, with follow-up support to monitor progress and address any concerns.
Dental Implants
We provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through titanium implant placement that fuses with the jawbone. Our surgeons offer single implants, implant-supported bridges, and dentures for patients with missing teeth. The procedure preserves facial structure and allows patients to eat and speak naturally, with long-term success rates exceeding traditional restoration methods.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
This procedure corrects misaligned jaws to improve chewing, speech, and breathing while enhancing facial symmetry. Our surgeons collaborate with orthodontists to create comprehensive treatment plans that may include pre- and post-operative orthodontic care. The surgery addresses functional issues and aesthetic concerns through precise jaw repositioning techniques.
Bone Grafting
We restore lost bone structure through grafting procedures that enable successful dental implant placement. Using autologous, allogeneic, or synthetic bone materials, our surgeons rebuild deficient jaw areas caused by periodontal disease or tooth loss. This creates a stable foundation for implants while maintaining facial contours and oral health.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Our team offers both surgical and non-surgical solutions for temporomandibular joint disorders. Treatment options include custom appliances, physical therapy, and arthroscopic procedures to alleviate pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement. We develop personalized plans to address the underlying causes of TMJ dysfunction and restore normal jaw function.

Questions
What anesthesia options are available for oral surgery procedures?
We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV moderate sedation, and deep sedation to ensure patient comfort during procedures. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific needs and procedure complexity.
How should I prepare for wisdom teeth removal?
Avoid eating or drinking for 8-12 hours before surgery if sedation is used. Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home. Follow all pre-operative instructions carefully to ensure safety and optimal recovery.
What are the benefits of dental implants compared to other tooth replacement options?
Dental implants preserve jawbone structure, function like natural teeth, and don't require altering adjacent teeth. They offer long-term durability and a more secure solution compared to traditional dentures or bridges.
Does insurance typically cover corrective jaw surgery?
Many medical insurance plans cover orthognathic surgery when deemed medically necessary. Our insurance specialists will help verify coverage and maximize benefits for eligible procedures.
What should I eat after oral surgery?
Stick to soft foods like soup, mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies for the first 24-48 hours. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that could irritate the surgical site during initial healing.
How long does recovery take after dental implant placement?
Initial healing takes 3-6 months for the implant to integrate with bone. Full recovery with final restoration typically completes within 6-8 months, though timelines vary based on individual healing and treatment plans.
