Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery | Greenwich Oral Surgery

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

At Greenwich Oral Surgery, our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons bring years of specialized training to every procedure. We treat patients from Greenwich, Westchester County, and throughout the tri-state area who require surgical intervention for complex oral and facial conditions. Our practice combines advanced surgical techniques with compassionate care, ensuring optimal outcomes whether you need routine tooth extraction or complex reconstructive surgery.

The Scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Successful oral surgery outcomes begin with thorough evaluation and precise treatment planning. Our surgeons utilize advanced 3D cone beam CT imaging to visualize bone structure, nerve pathways, and anatomical relationships before any procedure, allowing us to anticipate challenges and coordinate with other specialists when needed. We take time to explain your diagnosis, discuss all treatment options, and address your concerns before proceeding. The procedures we perform include dentoalveolar surgery for problems with teeth and supporting bone, corrective jaw (orthognathic) surgery to reposition misaligned jaws, facial trauma reconstruction, temporomandibular joint surgery, oral pathology management of cysts and tumors, and dental implant surgery ranging from single tooth replacement to full mouth reconstruction with advanced bone grafting.

State-of-the-Art Technology and Techniques

Our practice utilizes cutting-edge technology to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. 3D cone beam CT imaging provides detailed visualization for accurate treatment planning, while digital surgical guides and virtual planning software allow us to rehearse complex procedures before surgery. Advanced anesthesia monitoring ensures patient safety, and modern surgical instruments enable minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time. Our investment in the latest technology means you receive the most advanced surgical care available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding what oral and maxillofacial surgery involves helps you feel prepared and confident about your treatment. Below are answers to common questions about our surgical services, credentials, and what to expect during your care.

What Is the Difference Between an Oral Surgeon and a General Dentist?

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency training beyond dental school, including rotations in general surgery, anesthesia, and emergency medicine. This advanced training allows us to perform complex procedures like jaw surgery, facial trauma repair, and difficult extractions under sedation or general anesthesia. Our surgeons also hold hospital privileges and can manage medical complications during surgery, providing a level of safety and expertise that general dentists cannot offer.

What Types of Anesthesia Do You Offer?

We provide a full range of anesthesia options tailored to your procedure and comfort level. Local anesthesia numbs only the surgical area for minor procedures. IV sedation creates a relaxed, drowsy state while you remain responsive. General anesthesia renders you completely unconscious for complex surgeries. Our surgeons hold specialized licensure in Connecticut and New York for dental general anesthesia and maintain Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification, ensuring the highest safety standards throughout your procedure.

How Long Is Recovery After Oral Surgery?

Recovery time varies based on procedure complexity. Wisdom tooth removal typically requires 3-5 days of limited activity, with complete healing in 1-2 weeks. Dental implant placement needs several months for bone integration before final restoration. Orthognathic jaw surgery requires 2-3 weeks before returning to work or school, with complete bone healing over 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed post-operative instructions specific to your procedure and remain available throughout your recovery to address any concerns.

Will I Need a Referral for Oral Surgery?

Most oral surgery procedures require a referral from your general dentist or orthodontist, who identifies the need for specialized surgical treatment. However, if you're experiencing a dental emergency or have been involved in facial trauma, you can contact our office directly for immediate evaluation. Our surgeons work closely with referring dentists and specialists throughout your treatment, coordinating care to ensure optimal outcomes. We communicate your surgical results and follow-up needs with your dental team to maintain continuity of care.
