Services
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw misalignment to improve chewing, speech, and facial symmetry. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced imaging to plan precise corrections for functional and aesthetic restoration. Patients benefit from reduced chronic pain and enhanced quality of life through personalized treatment plans.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement by anchoring titanium posts into the jawbone. Our team ensures long-term success with 3D-guided placement and bone grafting when needed. Patients regain confidence with natural-looking restorations that preserve adjacent teeth and prevent bone loss.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We specialize in safe, efficient wisdom teeth extraction to prevent infections and crowding. Using IV sedation and 3D imaging, our surgeons minimize recovery time while addressing impacted or misaligned molars. Post-operative care instructions ensure smooth healing for patients of all ages.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ specialists diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint disorders through conservative and surgical methods. From custom night guards to joint surgery, we address chronic pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement with tailored solutions for lasting relief.
Sleep Apnea Surgery
Sleep apnea surgery opens airways through procedures like maxillomandibular advancement. Our surgeons combine expertise in jaw alignment with advanced techniques to improve breathing and reduce symptoms like daytime fatigue, offering long-term solutions for obstructive sleep apnea.
