Wisdom Teeth Removal
Our state-of-the-art wisdom teeth removal procedures address impacted molars causing pain, infection, or alignment issues. Using advanced imaging and IV sedation options, our surgeons ensure comfortable extractions with clear post-operative instructions. Patients benefit from reduced recovery times and prevention of future oral health complications through timely interventions.
Dental Implants
Titanium dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth in function and appearance. Our dedicated implant coordinators guide patients through 3D imaging diagnostics, bone grafting if needed, and surgical placement. This treatment preserves facial structure and prevents bone loss while offering superior stability compared to traditional dentures or bridges.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses misalignment issues affecting speech, chewing, and facial symmetry. Our surgeons perform precise bone repositioning under general anesthesia, often combined with orthodontic treatment. This procedure alleviates chronic pain, improves breathing, and enhances facial aesthetics through comprehensive treatment planning with 3D imaging technology.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We offer surgical solutions for obstructive sleep apnea unresponsive to CPAP therapy. Procedures include uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) to reshape soft palate tissue and orthognathic surgery for severe cases. Our approach combines fiber-optic diagnostics with personalized treatment plans to improve breathing patterns and enhance sleep quality for better overall health.
TMJ Disorders
Our specialists diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint disorders causing pain, clicking, or locking. Treatment options range from conservative management to arthroscopic surgery, focusing on restoring normal jaw function. We utilize advanced imaging to identify structural issues and develop targeted interventions that reduce chronic discomfort and improve mouth mobility.

Questions
What makes dental implants better than dentures?
Implants preserve bone structure, function like natural teeth, and don't require adhesives. They typically last 20-30 years versus 5-10 years for dentures.
Do you offer sedation options for procedures?
Yes, we provide local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation with ACLS-certified staff to ensure patient comfort during all surgical procedures.
How should I prepare for jaw surgery?
Preparation includes orthodontic treatment, 3D imaging, and medical evaluation. Our team provides detailed instructions for pre-op fasting and post-op care.
Is sleep apnea surgery covered by insurance?
Most medical insurance plans cover sleep apnea surgery when medically necessary. Our billing team verifies coverage and explains financial responsibility.
What's the recovery time for wisdom teeth removal?
Most patients recover fully in 7-10 days. We provide personalized aftercare instructions including pain management and dietary guidelines to ensure smooth recovery.
Can TMJ disorders cause headaches?
Yes, temporomandibular joint disorders often cause chronic headaches, ear pain, and facial discomfort due to jaw misalignment and muscle tension.
