Dental implants are the healthiest, longest lasting solution for replacing missing or failing teeth. The implant post is embedded into the jaw bone. It stimulates the jaw bone just like the root of a natural tooth, preventing jaw bone atrophy. You can receive as many dental implants as you need to restore your smile completely. If you are missing many teeth, you may qualify for full-arch restoration, a procedure that uses implant posts to secure a fixed denture. Your dental implant remains in your mouth during eating and brushing, unlike traditional dentures and bridges. The crown is custom-made to blend in with your other teeth, creating a natural-looking smile that allows you to eat and laugh with total confidence.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of the bones and soft tissues of the head. This includes the neck, face, mouth, and jaws. Whereas a general dentist can begin practicing immediately following dental school with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, an oral surgeon must complete an additional 4–6 years of training. This time, known as a residency program, provides hands-on surgical training in a hospital setting. Oral surgeons are the only dental professionals qualified to administer all forms of anesthesia. This includes laughing gas, IV sedation, and local and general anesthesia.

When dental or facial surgery requires more complexity, facial reconstruction, anesthesia, and even plastic surgery, dentists refer their patients to the trusted hands of oral surgeons. All of our oral surgeons at Oral Surgery Group, Dental Implants & Wisdom Teeth are trained and qualified to provide our patients with the highest level of care.
