What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the specialty of dentistry which includes the diagnosis, surgical and related treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving the masticatory (chewing and biting) system and related structures. Oral surgeons complete an additional 4-7 years of hospital based residency training beyond the four years of dental school.  As part of their specialty training they study such diverse areas as anesthesia, head and neck surgery, pathology, trauma, physiology and pharmacology.

We provide all forms of anesthesia including general anesthesia (IV or inhalation), sedation, and local anesthesia.
