In my practice, I manage a wide variety of problems relating to correcting issues with your mouth, teeth, and facial regions. I practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including procedures such as dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, corrective jaw surgery, and oral pathology. I can also diagnose and treat facial pain and injuries and help you make the most of your smile with dental implant procedures.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
The removal of wisdom teeth is a routine procedure in our office, but it probably doesn’t feel that way to you. For many of our patients, just hearing the words “surgery” and “extraction” tends to bring up some fears. I wants you to know that wisdom teeth extraction is safe, quick, and comfortable.
Why they need to be pulled:
Your mouth was designed to hold 28 teeth, not 32. By the time your wisdom teeth start to grow, those 28 slots are already filled, making it difficult for them to grow in properly. That’s why 9 out of 10 people find themselves with at least one impacted wisdom tooth that requires extraction. Even when properly positioned, wisdom teeth can easily become infected, and are at risk for cysts and tumors.
Common Oral Pathology Diseases We Can Diagnose
The primary role of an oral pathologist is to identify and diagnose oral and maxillofacial issues as quickly and as accurately as possible, as early detection and treatment often save lives. Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to aid in oral pathology services. We’re capable of diagnosing many types of malignant and benign oral conditions. Some of the most common oral pathology diseases and abnormalities that we diagnose for our Dallas-area patients include:
Dental Bone Grafting
If you’ve elected to receive a dental implant but have found you’re ineligible due to bone loss in your jaw, our signature jaw bone grafting procedures can provide a solution. Bone grafting is a common dental procedure that can restore jaw bone mass and soft tissue needed to perform a tooth implant. Jaw bone grafting has been perfected over the last several decades and can utilize both the patient’s own bone, a donor bone or synthetic material. Our team of maxillofacial specialists can effectively restore the bone in your jaw to its previous state, restore your normal facial structure and form and appearance and prepare your mouth for a successful dental implant.
Technology and Orthognathic Surgery
My clinic uses modern computer techniques and three-dimensional models to show you exactly how your surgery will be approached. Using comprehensive facial X-rays and three dimensional models, I can show you how your bite will be improved and even give you an idea of how you’ll look after surgery. This helps you understand the surgical process and the extent of the treatment prescribed. Our goal is to help you understand the benefits of orthognathic surgery.
The actual surgery can move your teeth and jaws into a new position that results in a more attractive, functional and healthy dental-facial relationship.
The process of preparing you for orthognathic surgery happens over the course of your orthodontic treatment for several months.
Who Needs Orthognathic Surgery?
People who can benefit from orthognathic surgery include those with an improper bite or jaws that are positioned incorrectly. Jaw growth is a gradual process and in some instances, the upper and lower jaws may grow at different rates. The result can be a host of problems that can affect chewing function, speech, long-term oral health and appearance. Injury to the jaw and birth defects can also affect jaw alignment. Orthodontics alone can correct bite problems when only the teeth are involved. Orthognathic surgery may be required when repositioning of the jaws is necessary.
