An Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon is a doctor who performs surgery on the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. They are also involved with facial pain causes as well as oral pathology.
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons work closely with patients who need their wisdom teeth removed or even jaw reconstruction due to cancer treatment. As if all that wasn’t enough, they can treat all types of diseases, injuries, deformities, or defects that affect the head, neck, jaws, and maxillofacial structures.
They diagnose and manage treatment for tumors in the jawbones as well as facial pain cases like trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve disorder) or headaches.
Our Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Dominique Morel, recently returned back to the Dental Care Group after receiving special training in head and neck trauma.
