The Premier Choice for Excellent Oral Healthcare
Surgical procedures involving the head, neck, face, jaws, and both hard and soft tissues of the mouth are classified as oral surgeries. Being referred for oral surgery doesn’t necessarily indicate a complex condition; rather, it means that an oral surgeon possesses the specialized expertise to address your specific issue with optimal outcomes.
Oral surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, from simple and complex tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth) to the placement of dental implants, repair of facial and jaw fractures, treatment of cysts and tumors in the jaws, soft tissue biopsies, jaw realignment surgery (known as orthognathic surgery) to correct bites, surgical treatment of TMJ disorders, and various cosmetic surgeries.
You might wonder if there’s any distinction between oral surgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Rest assured, there isn’t—“oral” refers to the mouth, while “maxillofacial” encompasses the entire jaw and face. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are extensively trained to diagnose and perform surgeries to address conditions affecting the maxillofacial regions, including the mouth.

Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a natural-looking and effective solution to tooth loss, helping restore a full and healthy smile. Our surgeons will work with you to select the best implant options tailored to your needs.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the final set of teeth to develop, located at the back of the mouth. These teeth can jeopardize your oral health by causing issues such as impaction or overcrowding. Removing wisdom teeth is a proactive step to prevent potential complications and maintain oral health.
