Atlanta Oral Facial Surgery - Roswell
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to perform the following treatments and procedures: 
Reconstructive surgery to address hard and soft tissue injuries in the upper and/or lower jaws resulting from injury or trauma, tumor surgery.
Dental implant placement to replace a single tooth, several teeth or an entire mouthful of teeth.
Diagnosis and treatment of infections in the maxillofacial region, which can develop into life-threatening emergencies if not treated promptly and effectively.
Treatment and repair of injuries to the face, jaws, mouth and teeth caused by trauma.
Surgical correction of oral and facial deformities caused by differences in skeletal growth between the upper and lower jaws; and congenital deformities like cleft lip and palate, which occur when all or a portion of the oral-nasal cavity does not grow together during fetal development.
Their surgical and dental background and their ability to reconstruct facial structures damaged through trauma, enable oral and maxillofacial surgeons to perform facial cosmetic procedures on an outpatient basis in the oral and maxillofacial surgeon's office under local anesthesia, IV sedation or general anesthesia.
Their advanced
training in anesthesia allows them to provide quality care with maximum
patient comfort and safety in the office setting.Office-based surgery
is often the most efficient and cost effective way to perform many
procedures while maintaining maximum patient comfort and safety.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons most commonly care for patients
with problem wisdom teeth, facial pain, and misaligned jaws. They treat
accident victims suffering facial injuries, place dental implants, care
for patients with oral cancer, tumors and cysts of the jaws, and
perform facial cosmetic surgery.
