Dental Implants and dental implant-supported crowns and bridges are the most “tooth-like” replacements available. If your goal is to have your original natural teeth again, there is nothing closer than a dental implant-supported prosthesis. In addition, dental implants will help prevent future bone loss.

Wisdom Teeth

One of the most frequent questions we as Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are asked is "Do I need to have my wisdom teeth removed and if I do, why"? These are very good questions as almost everyone will be faced with this question at some point in their life.

Although many individuals may benefit from the removal of their wisdom teeth, others may not derive significant benefits. There are many conditions associated with wisdom teeth that would be an indication for their removal. As a general rule patients will benefit from the early removal of "high risk" wisdom teeth, rather than wait until the teeth become symptomatic or cause damage to adjacent teeth.

Jaw Surgery

Some individuals' upper and lower jaws do not fit together in an appropriate fashion. Their chin or mandible (lower jaw) may appear to jut out or, in contrast, may appear to be underdeveloped. In other patients, the bite problems may not be so severe that their appearance is changed but the teeth will not fit together appropriately.

Occasionally malpositioned teeth may cause such bite problems; however, if the bite is significantly off it is likely that there is a jaw discrepancy as well. Orthognathic surgery was developed to correct these jaw discrepancies by moving the affected jaw(s) into their appropriate position.
