Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with natural-looking, permanent solutions. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure stability and longevity, preventing jawbone deterioration. Patients benefit from improved oral function, aesthetics, and confidence, with options for single or full-arch restoration.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Early removal of impacted wisdom teeth prevents infections, crowding, and oral health complications. Our team performs safe extractions under IV sedation, ensuring minimal discomfort and swift recovery. Post-operative care guidance helps patients resume normal activities quickly.
Cleft Lip & Palate Surgery
Specialized surgical correction of cleft lips and palates restores function and aesthetics for infants and adults. Dr. Galea's fellowship training ensures precise treatment, improving eating, speech, and facial symmetry while minimizing scarring and long-term complications.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds atrophied jawbone to support dental implants or facial structure. Techniques include autografts, allografts, and synthetic materials, promoting natural bone growth and enhancing candidacy for restorative procedures.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery realigns misaligned jaws to improve bite, breathing, and facial harmony. Combined with orthodontics, this procedure alleviates TMJ pain, sleep apnea, and speech issues, offering lasting functional and aesthetic benefits.
