Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons provide treatment for the following:

• Impacted teeth
• Extractions
• Facial trauma
• TMJ (temporomandibular joint) syndrome
• Cysts and tumors
• Diseases of the jaw and mouth
• Orthognathic surgery
• Reconstructive surgery of the jaw
• Implants.

The maxillofacial prosthodontist is a specialist who deals with dentures, implants and facial prostheses associated with congenital defects, trauma or ablative surgery.

Referrals are not needed for some extractions and dental procedures. However, a physician referral is needed for medical appointments.
