Focused on You

Choosing the right provider for your oral health is important. While general dentists handle a broad range of treatments, certain procedures require the advanced training and expertise of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a lifelong investment in your smile and function. Dr. Keen’s expertise ensures lasting, natural-looking results. We use advanced 3D imaging and precision guided techniques for optimal placement and long term success while working along with a general dentist experienced in restoring implants for the most aesthetic and functional outcome.

When to Seek an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

While general dentists are essential for maintaining overall oral health through preventive care, cleanings, and routine procedures, certain complex conditions require the specialized training of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Situations where a specialist’s expertise is crucial include:

Complex Tooth Extractions

Removing impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, especially when they pose risks to surrounding structures.​

Dental Implant Placement

Planning and placing dental implants to replace missing teeth, ensuring proper integration with the jawbone.​

Facial Trauma

Treating injuries to the face, jaws, mouth, and teeth resulting from accidents or trauma.

Jaw Surgery

Addressing misaligned jaws, reconstructing inadequate bone structure, or correcting congenital deformities.​

TMJ Disorders

Diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint disorders that cause jaw pain and dysfunction.​

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Surgically treating sleep apnea when conservative treatments are ineffective.​

Oral Pathology

Managing and surgically treating cysts, tumors, or cancers within the oral and maxillofacial region.​

Facial Cosmetic Procedures

Facial aesthetics such as thread lifts, laser treatments, fillers and injectables.

If you’re experiencing any of these conditions, consulting with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon ensures you receive care tailored to these complex issues.

At Southern Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center, we are equipped with the expertise and experience to handle such specialized cases.
