Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood and can cause crowding, pain, or infection if they don’t have enough room to grow in properly. The highly skilled surgeons at Midwest Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to ensure a comfortable and efficient removal process for you or your child.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. This advanced solution involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a strong and stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture.

TMJ Disorders
TMJ, or the temporomandibular joint, connects the jawbone to the skull and enables jaw movement for chewing, speaking, and yawning. TMJ disorders (TMD) occur when this joint or its surrounding muscles are compromised, causing symptoms like jaw pain, clicking sounds, facial pain, headaches, or difficulty opening the mouth. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons can use medical and surgical interventions to restore function, repair structural issues or replace the joint.
