Oral, Maxillofacial and Reconstructive Surgery focuses on a broad spectrum of problems involving the teeth, jaws, mouth and facial bones. What is so unique about this surgical specialty that involves both dental and medical education is the ability to manage both functional and aesthetic problems to improve the overall quality of life. The challenges of modern health care have dramatically changed how surgeons manage their patients. Our surgical practice has responded by placing a strong emphasis on in-office surgery, management of surgical problems and a patient-oriented philosophy that considers the whole person as a patient.
