Orthognathic surgery is surgery performed on the bones of the jaws to change their positions. Orthognathic surgery is corrective facial surgery where deformities of the jaw exist. It may be indicated for functional, cosmetic, or health reasons. It is surgery commonly done on the jaws in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, which straightens the teeth. Pre-operative planning is crucial to the success of the procedure and evaluates the surgical and orthodontic options. The surgeon chooses the type of mandibular surgery based on his experience, evaluation of the photographic and cephalometric analysis, and model surgery. Orthognathic surgery is often delayed until after all of the permanent teeth have erupted unless medical conditions necessitate that the surgery be performed earlier. In adult patients, orthognathic surgery can be combined with soft tissue contouring to improve the aesthetic results. Benefits: corrects and balances facial and dentation, improves function, health, and appearance, enables better biting and chewing on food, close your lips together in certain caes, may improve speech, prevents jaw joint disorder (TMJ) issues, improves quality of life. Pre-surgical orthodontics may be necessary to straighten the teeth and align the arches so that a stable occlusion can be obtained post-operatively. The maxillary surgery is done. Orthodontics following surgery are frequently required to revise minor occlusal discrepancies.

Bone or Gingival Augmentation. This is a surgical procedure which uses a barrier membrane and or bone grafting (artificial bone) under the gum and over the remaining bone support (ridge or jaw bone) to aid the regeneration of new bone in an area where teeth are being extracted or have already been removed. The graft material may be taken from the patient's own body. If not, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute may be used. This prevents the surrounding bone from collapsing into the extraction socket after the removal of a tooth. If this procedure is not carried out, the ridge will become narrow and sharp and it will not be possible to insert an implant or a comfortable-fitting denture.

Overdenture is a denture that uses precision dental attachments to hold the denture down. The overdenture attachment can be placed in tooth roots that have been saved, or placed into dental implants which have been placed to receive them.

Partial denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces multiple missing teeth. It can be attached to the teeth with clasps (clasp or conventional partial) or it can be attached to the teeth with crowns with precision attachments (hidden clasps). Both types have a metal framework and plastic teeth and gum areas.

Immediate denture is constructed before teeth are removed so that you will not be without any teeth. Constructing immediate dentures involves taking impressions (making copies) of your mouth before the teeth are removed. When your remaining teeth are removed the denture can be inserted immediately.

First of all, at least a week before whitening scale and polishing is advised to get rid of all unnecessary plaque. . The ZOOM! Tooth Whitening gel is applied to the enamel (the protective coating) of the tooth and heated with a special lamp (UV-A light). The heat breaks down the gel and releases oxygen into the teeth’s dentin (the main, hard part of the tooth). This oxygen bleaches the teeth without harming them. After the ZOOM! Tooth Whitening treatment, our patients are given a fluoride treatment. The results of this tooth whitening procedure are whiter teeth that are fundamentally free of coffee, tea, soft drink, wine, or tobacco stains! For the best result and to maintain your white shade we ask you not to drink, eat or smoke the above mentioned products for 10 days after whitening.
