Great team who are all caring and responsive. I’ve needed several appointments lately and they’ve been very helpful with scheduling and taking great care of my teeth and gums. I recently needed a new crown and they very kindly squeezed me in at the last minute so I could have it completed before I went on vacation.

Nice place and good environment with professional team work. I will suggest to get your dental care done in this establishment.
Oral surgery primarily focuses on the mouth and teeth, while maxillofacial surgery addresses more extensive issues involving the face, jaw, and neck.
Maxillofacial surgeons treat conditions such as jaw misalignments, facial injuries, and tumors, while oral surgeons specialize in dental-related surgeries.
Our team consists of highly trained oral surgeons with years of experience in treating complex dental conditions. Our surgeons are experts in their field, offering compassionate care tailored to each patient’s needs.
We use state-of-the-art technologies such as 3D imaging, laser surgery, and minimally invasive techniques, which result in quicker recovery times and less discomfort.
Follow these essential steps before your procedure: refrain from eating or drinking for 12 hours before surgery, discuss any medications you're taking, and ensure that you have someone to accompany you home post-surgery.
On the day of your surgery, you'll be guided through the process. Local or general anesthesia will be used to ensure you are comfortable. Our team will explain each step to make you feel at ease.
After surgery, follow our care instructions carefully, including taking prescribed medications, applying ice to reduce swelling, and resting as needed.
Common side effects include swelling, bleeding, and discomfort, but these typically subside with proper care.
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure but generally range from a few days to a few weeks. We will monitor your recovery closely and advise you on when it's safe to return to normal activities.

As with any surgery, risks can include infection, bleeding, or delayed healing. However, our surgeons take all necessary precautions to minimize these risks and ensure a safe recovery.
Pain can be managed with prescribed medications and over-the-counter pain relievers. Applying ice to the affected area can also help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Swelling is common after oral surgery, especially in the first 48 hours. Ice packs and following post-operative care instructions will help reduce swelling and speed up recovery.
It's best to start with soft foods in the first few days after surgery. As you recover and discomfort decreases, you can gradually return to your normal diet.
Most patients can return to work or school within a few days after surgery, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least a week to allow for proper healing.
