Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

What is the difference between oral surgery and maxillofacial surgery?

• Oral Surgery: Restore oral functionality and correct minor defects.
• Maxillofacial Surgery: Treat more serious pathologies that affect both the functionality and aesthetics of the face and skull.

At VDENT, we have one of the best specialists in the field, Dr. Pablo Alvarado. One of the most requested treatments performed by Dr. Pablo is the extraction of wisdom teeth or 3rd molars, which in many cases are included within the bone. This treatment is performed in the office with local anesthesia.

We can list the different treatments performed by the Maxillofacial specialist:

• Treatments for cysts and tumors related to the jaws and teeth.
• Exodontia of impacted teeth
• Minimally invasive orthognathic surgery: We correct dental and facial problems through bone adjustments to achieve perfect balance with the most advanced and minimally invasive technology.
