Introduction
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive extended training in their specialty, earning a graduate certificate after completing at least four years of residency training. This training covers the surgical management and treatment of diseases and the functional and esthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region (head, face, mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, and neck.)
While wisdom tooth extraction and the placement of dental implants are probably the most common oral surgery procedures; oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat a variety of conditions of the face and oral cavity. Our doctors are experienced in jaw reconstruction, bone grafting, facial trauma, temporomandibular joint disorders, oral pathology, facial cometic surgery, surgical management of cleft lip and palate and in the delivery of a variety of anesthesia and pain control modalities. They attend numerous continuing education courses each year enabling them to provide the most innovative and up to date techniques possible.
