What is an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon?

An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (OMS) is a highly specialized dental professional with extensive training beyond standard dental school. While general dentists are essential for overall oral health and provide a wide range of services like fillings, crowns, and routine extractions, an OMS has completed a rigorous hospital-based residency program lasting a minimum of four to six additional years. This specialized training encompasses:

• Advanced Surgical Expertise: Comprehensive training in complex procedures involving the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, and jaw.
• Anesthesia Proficiency: Formalized general anesthesia training, making them the only dental specialists equipped to administer and monitor all levels of anesthesia safely in an office setting.
• Medical Integration: Knowledge of internal medicine, general surgery, and other specialty areas relevant to facial and oral structures.

When a general dentist encounters a complex case that requires specialized surgical intervention, they often refer patients to an oral surgeon, recognizing the need for this advanced level of expertise.

When to See an Oral Surgeon

You may be referred to or choose to consult with an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon for a variety of conditions that require specialized surgical treatment. These often include:

• Complicated Tooth Extractions: Such as the removal of impacted wisdom teeth or severely damaged teeth.
• Dental Implant Placement: Surgical placement of titanium posts to replace missing tooth roots.
• Bone Grafting: Procedures to rebuild or augment jawbone density for implant placement or other reconstructive needs.
• Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): To correct functional or aesthetic issues related to jaw alignment.
• Facial Trauma: Repair of facial bone fractures, lacerations, or other injuries to the mouth, face, and jaw.
• Oral Pathology: Diagnosis and surgical treatment of cysts, tumors, and other diseases within the oral and maxillofacial region.

During your consultation, Dr. Pollock or Dr. Dombrowski will thoroughly assess your condition, review diagnostic images (such as X-rays or 3D scans), and discuss your medical history to develop a precise and personalized treatment plan, ensuring you are fully informed throughout the process.
