Expert care for “Wisdom Teeth” and minimally invasive tooth extractions
Typical adult human dentition consists of 32 teeth. We often lack the ability to maintain our teeth throughout our entire life. Often we find that teeth may need to be removed to allow for maintenace and function of the other teeth. Typically, majority of teenagers and even young adults require some assessment of space available in their mouth to fit all those 32 teeth. With improved nutrition we often find the teeth to be too large to fit into the existing jaw arch space. If that is the case it is best to remove third molars know typically as wisdom teeth between ages of 16-20. Consult with our experts to find out what is a best course for your care and if needed how to receive expert minimally invasive surgical care.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are a durable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. These titanium alloy or zirconium posts are surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Unlike dentures, implants function and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with greatest of confidence. Having implants allows for optimal nutrition that support healthy body function and increases longevity. We routinely can now replace entire dentition with full arch rehabilitation using implants employing All on Four and All on X approaches including teeth in a day protocols.

Hard & Soft Tissue Regenerative Surgery
Hard and soft tissue surgery is essential for addressing various oral health issues, including dental implants, bone grafts, and gum procedures. Whether you are dealing with bone loss, gum disease, or preparing for implants, our comprehensive approach ensures personalized treatment tailored to your needs. Our specialists can rebuild missing tissue using cutting edge bioengineering based techniques based in stem cell and holistic based cell regeneration unlocking the power of patient’s stem cells and tissue repair factors we all already have. These techniques overcome limitations of many past techniques and allow for treatment in patients who had poor outcomes in the past.

Cosmetic Lip and Gum Surgery
Cosmetic and functionally driven lip and gum procedure enhances the appearance and longevity of your smile by reshaping and reinforcing the labial and gum tissue. These procedures can correct issues such as thinner lips and gum recession or excessive gum coverage, creating a more balanced look and strengthen the tissue health around teeth and dental implants. Utilizing advanced techniques, our skilled team ensures optimal tissue health, minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.

Microsurgical Root Canal Surgery
Infected deeply carious teeth can often be saved by performing traditional root canals and in the hands of a skilled specialist the success rates of these dental treatments often exceed 90 percent of the case. However, some root canal treated teeth fail to heal and present ongoing challenges. In some of these cases our surgeons can perform microsurgical apical (root tip end) procedures which can resolve otherwise non-respondent infections.

Reconstructive Craniofacial Surgery
Craniofacial reconstruction are specialized highly advanced surgical procedure designed to correct congenital or acquired deformities of the skull and face. If you have experienced severe facial trauma, cleft lip or palate defects, or other facial abnormalities, this surgery can significantly enhance or restore your appearance and importantly restore your head and neck functionality. Our practice has the unique ability to deliver this advanced life changing care via our partnership with KECK Medicine of USC.

Corrective and Orthognathic Jaw Surgery
Corrective facial orthopedic surgery, known in medical terminology as orthognathic surgery, realigns the jaws to improve function and aesthetics. These procedure addresses issues such as overbite, underbite, open bite, facial asymmetry, and level-based jaw misalignment, which can affect improved chewing, speaking, and facial harmony. Our practice has the unique ability to deliver this advanced life changing care via our partnership with KECK Medicine of USC.
We are also pioneers in procedures that may circumvent these problems in developing and growing patients including our use of DeClerk Plates, SARPE and Wilkodontics protocols. Computer based Virtual Surgical Planning is used to plan and treat these complex cases. Our experienced team uses the most contemporary advanced techniques to procure a precise and effective outcome for optimal facial and dental harmony.

TMD (TMJ) Treatment
TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) treatment aims to relieve discomfort and restore function in the jaw. Commonly these are known as TMJ problems. Symptoms may include jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Treatment options may involve physical therapy, medication, BOTOX injections, joint surgery and custom oral device therapy designed to reduce inflammation and hyperfunction mediated strain on the jaw.
