What procedures do you specialize in?
We specialize in a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgery services, including dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, facial reconstruction, and tooth extractions. With advanced training and years of experience, our surgeons are equipped to handle complex cases.
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root, and a crown that mimics the appearance of a natural tooth. Implants are sturdy, durable, and contribute to both oral health and functionality.
What is the recovery process like after wisdom teeth removal?
After wisdom teeth removal, most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with prescribed medication. We recommend consuming soft foods and avoiding strenuous activity for at least a week. Follow-up appointments are also recommended to monitor your healing progress.
When is bone grafting necessary?
Bone grafting is often required before dental implants if the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume. This procedure ensures the implant has a stable foundation, improving the overall success of the implant placement. Our team will assess whether this step is necessary during your consultation.
What does facial reconstruction surgery involve?
Facial reconstruction addresses physical trauma, congenital deformities, or other conditions that affect the facial structure. Using advanced techniques, we aim to restore aesthetics and functionality, tailored to each patient’s needs.
How do I know if I need a tooth extraction?
You may need a tooth extraction due to extensive decay, infection, crowding, or trauma. Our surgeons will evaluate your condition and explore all alternatives before recommending this procedure.
