Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons provides care to patients of all ages for problems related to the face, mouth and jaws. This is a specialty focused on providing surgical and non-surgical treatment for a variety of different illnesses and diagnoses. Services may include both inpatient and outpatient care, and team members will care for you before, during and after your surgery. This can include both emergency surgery, as well as surgeries that have been planned in advance.

We use 3D imaging to evaluate and determine the appropriate treatment plan for most conditions. We also offer IV sedation to our patients, helping to ease anxiety over dental procedures.
