What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery training requires
up to 6 additional years of hospital based surgical
and anesthesia training after graduation from dental
school. As Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, we manage
a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth,
teeth and facial regions. We practice the full scope
of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with expertise ranging
from dental implant placement and wisdom tooth removal
to corrective jaw surgery for function and aesthetics
and treatment of snoring problems. This also includes
techniques designed to rebuild bone structure for
with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient
comfort. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain,
facial injuries and fractures, and temporomandibular
joint disorders.
Our staff is trained in assisting with outpatient
general anesthesia or intravenous (IV) sedation in
our state of the art office settings. Patients are
continuously monitored during and after surgery.
Our surgical staff is experienced and trained to
respond to office emergencies. All staff are certified
in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and re-certified
yearly. Our doctors are certified for administration
of outpatient anesthesia and sedation by Tennessee
Board of Dental Examiners.
