Medical Specialty

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Your mouth, jaw, teeth, and facial structures work together every day to help you eat, speak, smile, and feel confident. When problems develop, our surgeons restore comfort, function, and a healthy foundation for the future.

Restoring comfort, function, and confidence

Your mouth, jaw, teeth, and facial structures work together every day to help you eat, speak, smile, and interact with the world around you. When pain, injury, infection, missing teeth, jaw problems, or other oral conditions develop, they can affect much more than your dental health. They may interfere with eating, speaking, sleeping, appearance, self-confidence, and overall quality of life.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions involving the mouth, teeth, jaws, face, and surrounding structures. Their expertise combines advanced surgical training with a deep understanding of both oral health and facial anatomy.

More than tooth extractions

While many people associate oral surgery with wisdom teeth removal, the specialty encompasses a much broader range of treatments. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons help patients address conditions that may affect function, comfort, appearance, and long-term oral health, including complex dental problems, jaw disorders, facial injuries, and bone loss.

Their goal is not only to treat existing problems, but also to restore function and create a healthy foundation for future dental care.

How we help

Every treatment begins with an evaluation to understand the patient’s needs and develop an individualized treatment plan. Depending on the condition, treatment may include:

  • Wisdom tooth removal
  • Dental extractions
  • Dental implant placement
  • Bone grafting procedures
  • Treatment of jaw and facial injuries
  • Management of oral infections
  • Evaluation and treatment of oral pathology
  • Corrective jaw surgery
  • Treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
  • Surgical preparation for restorative and cosmetic dental procedures

Impacted wisdom teeth Damaged or non-restorable teeth Missing teeth requiring dental implants Bone loss affecting implant placement Jaw pain and TMJ disorders Oral cysts and lesions Facial trauma and fractures Oral infections Jaw alignment abnormalities Soft tissue and bone abnormalities of the mouth and face
