Comprehensive Services for East Portland and Gresham
Our scope of practice covers the full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial surgery. We routinely treat patients from Gresham, Fairview, and Troutdale who need specialized care beyond general dentistry.
Impacted & Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the most common procedures we perform, yet it requires precision to avoid complications with nerves and sinuses. With advanced training and residencies specializing in oral cavity conditions and associated systemic disease, our oral surgeons perform both routine and highly complex dental procedures for our patients. If you are experiencing pain or crowding, read more about wisdom teeth removal and how we manage impacted teeth to preserve your oral health.
Dental Implants and Restoration
Missing teeth can severely impact your quality of life, affecting everything from your diet to your self-esteem. We specialize in immediate and long-term tooth replacement solutions. From single tooth replacements to graftless dental implants, we utilize top-tier materials and surgical techniques. Learn more about how dental implants can offer a permanent solution to tooth loss.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
For individuals born with an overbite or under-bite, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) can offer a solution to the associated functional disabilities. Misaligned jaws can lead to chronic pain, breathing issues (such as sleep apnea), and difficulty chewing. The benefits of corrective jaw surgery can include restoring a person’s ability to eat and chew without difficulty, improve or eliminate joint pain, and restore facial harmony and ideal dental form.
Bone Grafting and Pathology
Successful implants often require a solid foundation. We provide expert bone grafting services to prepare the jaw for future restoration. Additionally, we offer screening and surgical intervention for oral pathology to detect and treat abnormalities early.
Meet Dr. Baber Khatib
Our clinical excellence is driven by our surgeons. Dr. Khatib joins us from the Medical University of South Carolina where he served as an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. While at MUSC, he performed the first “Jaw in a Day” procedures in South Carolina, including one of the youngest patients to ever receive the revolutionary procedure on her mandible. These procedures were featured on the front page of the “Post and Courier” and local news stations.
Dr. Khatib earned his dental degree from the University of Alberta, Canada and his Medical Degree from the University of California Davis. After his residency at the University of California San Francisco, he completed fellowship training through Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Randall’s Children’s Hospital in Adult and Pediatric Advanced Craniomaxillofacial and Trauma Surgery. Following this, he completed an additional fellowship through Providence Cancer Center in Head and Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery. He is board certified by the American and Canadian Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
Dr. Khatib’s practice includes Adult and Pediatric oral surgery (dental extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, dental and zygomatic implants), oral head and neck microvascular reconstructive surgery, pathology, trauma surgery, sleep surgery, and corrective jaw surgery. In addition, he is the site director for education at Legacy Emanuel hospital for the Maxillofacial surgery service.
He lives in Portland and when not at work can be found cooking with his wife, staying active, and enjoying Portland’s great food scene!
