Our doctors practice the full scope of the specialty, which includes the diagnosis, surgical treatment and management of defects and injuries related to the function and aesthetics of the face and jaws. We treat wisdom teeth, reconstruct shattered faces, correct misaligned jaws, and treat cancers of the neck, face and mouth.
