Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt. In most cases, wisdom teeth grow sideways, and partially emerge from the gum. Sometimes they remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. As a result, this requires wisdom teeth removal.

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. Once dental implants are in place, they will serve you well for many years if you take care of them while maintaining good oral health. To clarify, this means taking time for good oral hygiene routines (brushing and flossing) and having regular appointments with your dental specialists.

Orthognathic surgery is needed when jaws don't meet correctly and/or teeth don't seem to fit with jaws. Teeth are straightened with orthodontics, while corrective jaw surgery repositions a misaligned jaw.

In some cases when cuspid teeth are impacted, they must be bracketed and pulled down into place from the dental arch. Therefore, repairing this problem is important because the eye teeth are the first teeth to touch when the jaws close together. In addition, they guide the rest of the teeth into a proper bite.

Preparation of the mouth before getting a prosthetic (denture) is important. Sometimes this requires oral and maxillofacial surgery to prepare the mouth ready for maximum comfort. However, every patient's needs are different for this procedure.

Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries. The bone is obtained from your own bone and transferred to the site that is deficient.

A cleft lip and palate are serious problems for children. A cleft lip and palate occur when in early pregnancy, separate areas of the face develop individually and then join together, including the left and right sides of the roof of the mouth and lips. If some parts do not join properly, sections don’t meet and the result is a cleft.

Typically, facial injuries are classified as either soft tissue injuries (skin and gums), bone injuries (fractures), or injuries to special regions (such as eyes, facial nerves, or salivary glands). Maxillofacial surgeons are trained, skilled, and uniquely qualified to manage and treat facial trauma and any resulting dental surgery.
