They diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries, and fractures.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Dental Implants provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. The extraction of Wisdom Teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone.
Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery) is needed when jaws don't meet correctly and/or teeth don't seem to fit with jaws. People who can benefit from Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery) include those with an improper bite or jaws that are positioned incorrectly.
Facial Trauma
Facial Injuries can range from injuries of teeth to severe injuries of the skin and bones. Facial Injuries are classified as either soft tissue injuries (skin & gums), bone injuries (fractures), or injuries to special regions (eyes, facial nerves or salivary glands).
