Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Serving the Portland OR & Vancouver WA Metro Area

Most surgeries require a doctor who specializes in specific procedures, and dental surgeries are no exception. Dental and maxillofacial surgeries are performed by licensed and trained dental professionals. Any surgery involving anesthesia, extraction, or bone grafting requires years of education, ongoing training, and experience which perhaps plays the most crucial role of all.

What is Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery?

Simply put, oral & maxillofacial surgery is a surgical procedure performed on your mouth, jaw, or face. Swiss Denture and Implant Center specializes in dental prosthetics and dental implants which are often needed when performing reconstructive surgery of the mouth.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for Dental Implants

The concept of dental implants is relatively simple: implants are titanium or zirconia support systems that are placed in your jaw and that fully integrate with your natural bone. A specially designed and molded tooth or dental prosthesis is placed on top of the implant (connected via an abutment).

Bone Grafting and Other Maxillofacial Surgeries

Occasionally, we do see patients who need a little extra support along their jaw, either due to trauma or bone loss with age. We can strengthen the jaw’s ability to hold a dental implant in place with bone grafting–yet another way maxillofacial surgery may be able to help you!

Dental Prosthetic Services

It’s important to consult with an dental expert who understands how jaws and teeth work together to chew, eat, smile, and talk. If you’re looking to restore your smile by replacing teeth, or need natural-looking and feeling dentures or dental implants, call Swiss Denture & Implant Center today!
