When you have an imbalance in your smile, whether occurring naturally or due to an injury, this could cause serious trouble with your smile and overall oral health. Correcting these issues with orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, could bring relief and even improve esthetics. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons talk about corrective orthognathic procedures.
Preserving Your Youthful Smile With Bone Grafting
When you lose mass and density in your smile, which often follows tooth loss, this could cause an aged appearance to develop. But to rebuild these weakened portions, and make the smile ready for dental implant placement, we could offer jawbone grafting. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons talk about the grafting procedure.
Treating Your Facial Trauma

In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons talk about how we treat facial trauma.
Bracketing Your Impacted Tooth
When a tooth becomes impacted, this means it has only partially erupted, or has arrived incorrectly.

Fortunately, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons will discuss how we bracket these teeth into proper positions once again.
