- Dental ExaminationThe board certification process requires the oral and maxillofacial surgeon to undergo a series of requirements and examinations in order to acquire board certification status. The first requirement is submission of cases covering a broad area of surgical expertise. The second hurdle is an intensive written examination, and the third level is a lengthy oral examination. The status of “board certified” is evidence that the oral surgeon has met the highest requirements of competence within the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

- DenturesOur Doctors perform biopsies and extractions, such as wisdom teeth removal, and they utilize dental implants to replace missing teeth or to stabilize dentures. Other procedures include bone grafting, correcting cleft lip and palate, TMJ disorders, and orthognathic (jaw) surgery. They can diagnose skin cancer, perform mole removal, and also offer facial rejuvenation procedures Botox® and Juvéderm®.
- Dental ImplantsOur oral surgery practice frequently hosts meetings to provide continuing education programs for our colleagues. These meetings are designed for a more intimate setting, which emphasizes peer discussion and interaction, as well as hands-on training and education. Topics of the lectures range from the latest techniques in dental implants & practice management strategies, to cosmetic procedures performed in-office.

Upon graduation from dental school, I served three years as a dental officer in the U.S. Navy. I completed a one year general practice residency at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton. Over the next two years I practiced general dentistry at various naval stations including Pt Mugu Naval Air Weapons Station in Oxnard, California and Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico.
