SINUS LIFT SURGERY/BONE AUGMENTATION

Sometimes in the back part of the upper jaw it may be necessary to perform what is referred to as a: sinus lift procedure. This is required when the maxillary sinus extends downward toward the crest of the upper jaw bone – meaning there may be inadequate vertical bone height to place a dental implant.

ORAL PATHOLOGY/ORAL MEDICINE

TMJ SURGERY

Disorders of the TMJ can involve the soft tissue and / or hard tissue component of the joint. The soft tissue components include: the masticatory (chewing muscles), various ligaments, the disc – made of cartilage - that sits between the opposing bones of the joint: the glenoid fossa above and the mandibular condyle below.

WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL

This surgery can often be carried out under local anesthesia with or without intravenous “twilight” sedation (relaxed though not fully asleep) – here at our Clinic.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made out of: titanium (85%) and zirconium (15%). It is completely biocompatible within the human body and forms a direct bond to your natural bone.

FACIAL TRAUMA

It is an unfortunate fact of life that facial trauma occurs commonly within our community. The causes of such injuries include: motor vehicle accidents, sports-related trauma and interpersonal violence.

ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY

One of the most satisfying aspects of the work provided at our Clinic involves the care of patients with dentofacial deformities.
Such treatment is required when a patient's bite problem is so significant that orthodontic treatment alone ("braces") can not rectify the situation
