Oral & 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.

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.

Successful surgical outcomes depend on proper post-operative care and monitoring. We provide detailed recovery instructions tailored to your specific procedure, including pain management protocols, activity restrictions, and dietary guidelines. Our team remains available to address concerns during your recovery period, with follow-up appointments scheduled to monitor healing progress. Most patients experience manageable discomfort controlled with prescribed medications, and we offer clear guidance on recognizing signs that require immediate attention. For complex procedures, we coordinate ongoing care with your referring dentist or other specialists to ensure comprehensive support throughout your recovery journey.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency training beyond dental school, providing expertise that general dentists cannot offer. Our surgeons hold dual MD/DDS degrees from Harvard and Columbia Universities, with board certification and active hospital privileges at Greenwich Hospital. This advanced training means complex procedures are performed safely with proper anesthesia management and emergency preparedness. Whether you need wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, jaw surgery, or treatment for facial trauma, choosing a board-certified oral surgeon ensures you receive the highest standard of specialized surgical care.
