appliances and orthognathic surgery.
Prosthodontics

(composite) fillings, dental implants and bridges.
Oral and Maxillofacial
Radiology
Our services range from conventional intraoral radiography, skull/TMJ

CT and MRI. We are equipped for conventional film and digital imaging.
Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery
Tooth extractions, palate defects, oronasal fistula repair, oral tumor

dentists are experts in treating facial trauma and their knowledge of
how jaws come together (occlusion) is critical when repairing complex
jaw fractures.

and non-surgical management of medically-related disorders and oral conditions
affecting the oral and maxillofacial region (e.g., stomatitis, oral autoimmune
diseases, orofacial pain and infections).
