Tooth Extractions
While modern dentistry is often able to repair even the most damaged teeth, in some cases, a tooth may be so decayed or broken that the only solution is to remove it. And with the wisdom teeth, a patient may simply not have enough room in their mouth for them. Whatever the case may be, our team is able to provide all kinds of extractions safely and comfortably. And, if needed, we can help a patient replace their extracted teeth right away as well.
Expose & Bond of Impacted Canines
Just like the wisdom teeth, the canine teeth (the pointed teeth towards the front of the mouth) can sometimes become stuck in gum and bone tissue while trying to erupt. This cannot only throw off the spacing of the teeth but also drastically affect the look of the smile as well. Working closely with a patient’s orthodontist, we can free the impacted canine teeth using a quick procedure so they have a clear path to come in straight.
Facial Trauma Repair
The teeth, face, and jaw can all sustain serious injuries in several situations, including motor vehicle accidents, sports mishaps, and simple slip-and-falls at home. If you have recently experienced trauma that has damaged your facial bones, jaw, or multiple teeth, the team at Wisdom Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is ready to fix all of these problems quickly. We can repair any damage to the jaws, teeth, and maxillofacial region to give you a smile that looks just as good as it feels.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Orthodontics is usually able to correct bite alignment issues like overbites and underbites, but in the most extreme cases, surgery may be the only solution. With this kind of procedure, we can either lengthen or shorten the upper or lower jaw so that the teeth come together properly. This cannot only drastically improve someone’s oral function but also enhance the appearance of their smile. Typically, this type of procedure can be completed in just one well-planned appointment using sedation.
Orthognathic Surgery
If you need corrective jaw surgery, whether it’s because of TMJ disorder, a malocclusion, or another issue, our office is prepared to help! Orthognathic surgery is specifically designed to treat patients with congenital conditions or issues that traditional orthodontic treatment cannot solve. Before your treatment, we’ll make sure that you understand every step of your procedure. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and informed.

Oral Pathology
Oral pathology is a discipline within dentistry that focuses on identifying and diagnosing diseases that affect the mouth and surrounding areas of the body. Our team can examine and even perform biopsies to determine the cause and type of oral cysts, tumors, and many other common lesions. We can confirm or provide our own diagnosis, then offer treatment and/or guidance for a patient so they’re able to get the care they need promptly.
Frenectomies
Attached to each lip and underneath your tongue, you’ll find three small bands of tissue called frenula. They form during birth, and for some people, they can be so short or thick that they restrict normal oral movement, leading to a problem referred to as a lip-tie or tongue-tie. These can be troublesome for infants as they can inhibit feeding, or later in life, they can affect speech and breathing. Thankfully, our dental specialists can quickly loosen or remove this tissue altogether while keeping even the littlest patient comfortable and pain-free.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
Are your days filled with constant jaw pain or headaches? If so, then you might be experiencing a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, or TMD. This concerns the joint that enables your lower jaw to move, and it can develop problems due to strain, injury, arthritis, or even a misaligned bite. At Wisdom Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we can help relieve any pain by draining inflammatory factors from the joint, injecting Botox to soothe overworked muscles, and/or reshaping bone to ensure the jaw functions properly.
