Oral Maxillo Facial Surgery
Oral Maxillo Facial Surgery
Oral Maxillo Facial Surgeons are only one of 9 recognized specialties in the dental profession by the American Dental Association. Also known as the ADA, this organization is responsible for training of all American licensed dentists.
An Oral Maxillo Facial Surgeon used to require a four-year post dental school education and residency, but more often now has become a four to six year residency with an additional degree of Medical Doctor (MD). These highly trained professionals are head and neck specialists who deal with many anomalies, diseases or traumatic episodes to the head and neck region.
Our trusted referral to one of our valued Oral Maxillo Facial Surgeons can include but not be limited to any one of the following:
- Cleft lip and palate repair or closure.
- Third molar (wisdom tooth) impaction or removal.
- Abnormalities in the jaw architecture or additional growths.
- Pre orthognathic or prosthetic surgery.
- Simple tooth removal, bone grafting and implant placement.
- TMJ disorders, pain, disc slippage or condylar fractures.
- Fractured facial bones associated with the jaws, eyes or sinus trauma.
- Facial bone or tissue abnormalities that result in disfigurement.
- Tumors, cysts or syndromes resulting in facial malformations.
- Cosmetic facial surgery from LeFort surgeries to Botox.
Our office is blessed with a very talented pool of Oral Maxillo Facial Surgeons we refer to on a regular basis. These highly trained professionals on a typical day might diagnosis and treat several types of dental conditions.
On several of our pre-prosthetic procedures, Dr. Eifler will accompany the patient to the surgical appointment for implant placement or alignment. This extra touch and great communication with these valued experts is critical for our patient’s success.
