We offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures. Select any treatment below to learn more about what to expect.
Dental implants replace missing teeth from the root up and look, feel, and function much like natural teeth. We provide single-tooth implants, multiple-tooth solutions, and full-arch implant restorations for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.
Implant cost depends on how many teeth you are replacing and whether any preparatory treatment is needed, and we review pricing and financing with you before you begin.
Wisdom teeth often lack the room to come in properly, so they can become impacted and lead to pain, swelling, crowding, or infection. Removing them, usually in the late teens or early twenties, helps protect your healthy teeth. We perform wisdom teeth removal with comfortable anesthesia options and clear, step-by-step recovery instructions.
A dental bone graft rebuilds bone in the jaw so it can support a dental implant or stay healthy after tooth loss. It is often the first step before an implant when the jawbone is too thin or has shrunk, and it can be done at the time of an extraction to preserve the socket.
Our bone grafting services include sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, socket preservation, and nerve repositioning.
Corrective jaw surgery, also called orthognathic surgery, treats jaw misalignment that affects how you bite, chew, breathe, or speak. We plan each case carefully with advanced imaging and coordinate with your dentist or orthodontist when care is shared, so your bite and your smile work together.
When a canine tooth becomes impacted, it can affect both alignment and the long-term health of your smile. We work to expose and guide impacted canines into their proper position, often in coordination with your orthodontist, using precise and conservative techniques.
Injuries to the face can affect the teeth, jaws, and other delicate structures and often need specialized surgical care. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to treat facial trauma and repair these injuries, restoring both proper function and your natural appearance while supporting you through recovery.
Oral pathology is the evaluation of unusual changes in the mouth, such as sores, lumps, or spots that do not heal. Routine checks help catch concerns like oral cancer earlier, when they are easier to treat. If we identify an area of concern, we can perform a biopsy and guide your next steps.
Pre-prosthetic surgery prepares the mouth so that a denture or other prosthesis fits comfortably and functions well. This may involve smoothing or reshaping the bone and gum tissue that will support your appliance for a more secure, comfortable fit.
Distraction osteogenesis is a technique that gradually grows new bone to correct deficiencies in the jaw. By guiding the body to build up bone and soft tissue over time, it can reduce the need for traditional grafting in certain cases.

Platelet-rich fibrin uses a small sample of your own blood to concentrate the natural growth factors that support healing. Applied during surgery, it can help tissue recover more quickly and comfortably as part of your treatment.
We believe cost should never stand between you and the care you need. Our team reviews your treatment estimate, explains what your insurance may cover, and walks you through financing options before you commit to treatment.

Our practice is built around safe, comfortable surgical care and clear communication at every step. When you come to us, you can expect:
You do not need a referral to be seen. Many patients come to us on their own, and many are referred by a dentist or orthodontist for specialized surgical care. Either way, we coordinate closely with your general dentist to keep your treatment on track from start to finish. Dentists can send a patient to us through our online referral form.
