Our Core Services

Our facility near North Tabor is equipped to handle the full scope of oral and maxillofacial procedures. Below are some of the most common treatments we provide.

Impacted & Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often lack the space to erupt properly, leading to impaction, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. 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.

For those in their late teens or early twenties, or even patients in their 30s and beyond, proactive removal is often recommended. We utilize specialized sedation and anesthesia options to ensure the procedure is comfortable and anxiety-free. If you are experiencing pain or swelling, you may be showing signs of impacted wisdom teeth.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Unlike dentures, which can slip and cause bone loss, implants integrate with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration.

We offer a variety of implant solutions, including:

To understand the financial aspect of your care, we encourage you to read our guide on understanding the cost of dental implants and how insurance impacts oral surgery costs.

Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)

For individuals born with an overbite, under-bite, or other jaw irregularities, corrective jaw surgery can offer a solution to the associated functional disabilities. Misaligned jaws can lead to difficulty chewing, chronic jaw pain (TMJ disorders), sleep apnea, and speech issues.

The benefits of corrective jaw surgery can include restoring a person’s ability to eat and chew without difficulty, improving or eliminating joint pain, and restoring facial harmony and ideal dental form. Using 3D CT scanning and virtual surgical planning, we can predict results with high accuracy, ensuring the bite is aligned perfectly.

Bone Grafting and Reconstruction

When teeth have been missing for a long time, the jawbone may atrophy or reabsorb. This often necessitates bone grafting to create a solid foundation for dental implants. We utilize various techniques, including sinus lift surgery and alveolar ridge expansion, to restore bone volume. Learn more about the advancements in bone grafting techniques that make these procedures more successful than ever.

Advanced Technology for Enhanced Safety

Our practice is committed to utilizing the latest advancements in surgical technology. We employ dynamic navigation and 3D printing to plan surgeries down to the millimeter. Whether we are designing custom implants or planning a complex extraction, this technology reduces surgical time and improves recovery outcomes.

We also feature an onsite digital lab, allowing us to fabricate surgical guides and prosthetics quickly and efficiently.

Patient Comfort and Sedation

We understand that surgery can be a source of anxiety for many. That is why we offer personalized sedation options ranging from nitrous oxide to IV sedation and general anesthesia. Our surgical team, including Dr. Lance Thompson and Dr. Baber Khatib, are extensively trained in anesthesia administration to ensure your safety throughout the procedure.
