Dental Technology Modernizes Oral Surgery

Our team is unique in its approach to treating oral issues and involves considerable skills to perform correctly.

With their expertise in this field, oral surgeons are essential to working towards healthy oral habits for patients.

Dr. Yeh and Associates Offers Oral Surgery

An oral surgeon is an oral healthcare professional who has completed four years of dental school and an additional four or more years of oral surgery residency training. With this specialized training and expertise, oral surgeons can perform complex procedures such as corrective jaw surgery and reconstructive facial surgeries:

Wisdom tooth extractions can be used to prevent potential complications and answer to impacted third molars and wisdom tooth pain.
Implant placement is a surgical procedure. After tooth loss or extraction, our oral surgeon carefully places dental implants into the jawbone to create a secure base for restorations.
Bone grafting is necessary for those with inadequate jawbone structures who want dental implants.
