TMJ Jaw Surgery

Patients experience pronounced discomfort when the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) does not work together with connective tissues and muscles. Luckily for people suffering from TMJ disorders, there are a variety of treatment options that can be tailored to each patient’s needs. Surgical interventions can include arthroscopy and open joint restructuring.

Skeletal Jaw Surgery

Jaw misalignments can sometimes be treated with orthodontics; if these treatments are unsuccessful, surgery can be considered. Restoring jaw alignment with facial surgery at the skeletal level can make breathing, speaking, biting, and chewing more comfortable.

Zygomatic Implants

Advanced periodontal disease and other conditions can diminish the bone density of the upper jaw, which eliminates the possibility traditional dental implant placement. In this procedure, the implants are connected to a bridge. Not all patients are ideal candidates for this procedure and there may be other options that can address your needs. Patients are encouraged to schedule a consultation with either of our oral surgeons to discuss zygomatic implants.

Facial Trauma

Facial injuries can encompass:

• Knocked out teeth
• Facial lacerations
• Intraoral lacerations
• Fractures of the cheek, nose, eye socket, and jaws
• Dental injuries
• Soft tissue damage

Restoring the features to a pleasing and harmonious balance takes considerable skill. Each of our surgeons is board certified and has dedicated their professional careers to the restoration of oral and facial health.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Patients can have a number of concerns not directly related to injury or illness, but that are cosmetically dissatisfying nonetheless. Our team can help you feel comfortable the application of the latest cosmetic surgery techniques.

RH-BMP2 Jaw Reconstruction

Some traditional dental implants require a bone graft. This procedure makes use of the very latest bone grafting technique and makes use of the patient’s own DNA to restore boney structures. This form of reconstruction restores the strength and function of the jawbone.

Sleep Apnea

Modifying the soft tissue at the back of the throat is an effective and permanent solution to sleep apnea. A sleep study is necessary to correctly diagnose the nature of each patient’s sleep apnea. A follow up consultation will then outline what treatment options are available.
