Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Faculty & Resident Clinic

We offer oral and maxillofacial surgical services for those who need removal of teeth, replacement of teeth with dental implants, correction of their bites and facial surgery for cosmetic dentistry. We help those with jaw joint (TMJ) pain and do corrective work to repair jaw defects, jaw fractures or other facial injuries.

Payments and Insurance

Our services are covered by many dental insurance plans. Confirm coverage with your insurance provider. We accept cash, checks, credit cards and CareCredit. For patients without insurance, the cost of the initial consultation must be paid at the time of the visit and if a subsequent surgical procedure is required, half of the fee must be paid at the time the procedure appointment is made. The other half is required before or at the time of the procedure.

The fees for care by a resident are less than for a faculty surgeon. However, the care provided by a resident will be overseen by a faculty member.

Our Staff

You can see either a resident (licensed dentist training to be an oral and maxillofacial surgeon) or a faculty surgeon. All residents are supervised by faculty surgeons. We have faculty members who are specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery, a prosthodontist (specialist in restoring or replacing teeth) and an orthodontist (specialist in moving teeth with braces).
