Expert Care for Complex Dental and Jaw Conditions

Oral and maxillofacial surgery treats problems affecting the mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, and related facial structures. At Clinton Center Dental, we understand that the prospect of oral surgery can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to guide you through every step with skill, compassion, and clear communication.

These procedures are often performed on patients with skeletal and dental irregularities that occur as a result of congenital defects, injury, disease, or other factors. Maxillofacial surgery is also performed to treat patients with oral cancer or jaw cysts.

Patients with these conditions may have an abnormal or unbalanced facial appearance, and may have difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking due to their jaw irregularities. The goal of oral and maxillofacial surgery is to treat the problem and achieve the most aesthetically pleasing result possible.

Procedures We Perform

Our oral surgery services include a wide range of treatments tailored to your specific needs:

Wisdom tooth removal — relieving pain and preventing future complications
Tooth extractions — when a tooth cannot be saved or is causing problems
Placement of dental implants — restoring missing teeth with permanent solutions
Reconstructive jaw surgery — correcting skeletal irregularities for improved function and appearance
Bone grafting — rebuilding bone to support implants or repair defects
Surgical correction of oral and facial deformities — improving both function and aesthetics
Treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ) — relieving jaw pain and dysfunction
Surgical repair of traumatic injury — restoring form and function after accidents
Surgical repair of damage caused by cancers and oral diseases — comprehensive treatment and reconstruction

Collaborative Care for the Best Outcomes

Depending on the condition and surgical repair necessary, oral maxillofacial surgeons may work together with plastic surgeons to achieve the best results for each patient. We coordinate closely with specialists to ensure you receive comprehensive, personalized care.
