Center for Oral & Facial Surgery

Our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is a branch of surgery specializing in treating and diagnosing injuries and diseases located in hard and soft tissues of the oral (mouth) and maxillofacial (jaws and face) regions. This form of surgery requires as much as 6 additional years of both hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training, after graduating from dental school. Our OMS surgeons are trained in both medicine and dentistry, so they can expertly treat many oral issues, such as impacted teeth and facial trauma, as well as different benign pathologies. This includes techniques that can help rebuild bone structure with as little surgical intervention as necessary, all while providing maximum patient comfort. Working alongside our Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Dr. James R. Eckstein, Dr. Brian K. Oleksy, Dr. Derek J. Havas and Dr. Justin R. Messina, is a team fully trained in assisting with IV sedation and outpatient general anesthesia. Of course, this all takes place in our modern, state-of-the-art facilities, where patients are monitored during and after all surgical procedures.
