When Is It Time To See An Oral Surgeon?

Routine visits to your family dentist are fine for routine exams and cleanings. But what about more serious issues affecting complex issues affecting your oral health? That’s where the advanced training and specialized skills of the oral surgeon at Westchester Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Implantology come into play.

• Reconstructive surgery to restore function and appearancefollowing facial injuries from accidents or during a sporting event.

• Jawbone irregularities or misalignments can be corrected through oral surgery to ensure proper function and aesthetics.

• Diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders that cause pain and dysfunction.

• Repairing complex birth defects like a cleft lip or palate.
