Surgical Expertise

Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. Drs. Tran and Graves manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth, and facial regions.

We practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery. This includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. Our doctors can also diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries, and fractures.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from Jaw Surgery?
Recovery time varies based on the complexity of the procedure. Generally, initial healing takes a few weeks, while full recovery may extend over several months. Your surgeon will provide a personalized recovery timeline based on your specific case.
Can I Eat Normally After Getting Dental Implants?
While initial healing may require a soft diet, you can gradually return to a normal diet as the implants integrate with your jawbone. Your surgeon will provide dietary guidelines based on your individual progress.
