What Sets Us Apart

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) is a doctor who specializes in treatment of diseases, injuries, and congenital or acquired deformities of the head and neck. Patients may present to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a wide variety of problems associated with functional and/or aesthetic aspects of the face, jaw, and mouth regions.

Such problems may include:

  • Missing teeth that require replacement with dental implants
  • Wisdom teeth
  • Cleft lip and palate
  • Complex congenital craniofacial deformities and syndromes
  • Misaligned or disproportionately sized jaws
  • Oral or facial tumors
  • Snoring and sleep apnea
  • Temporomandibular joint disorders
  • Traumatic injuries to the face
    • soft-tissue lacerations
    • fractures of facial bones (jaws, nose, cheekbones, and eye sockets)

Many of the procedures can be done comfortably in our offices, which are well equipped to meet your surgical and anesthetic needs. More complicated procedures may be done in the hospital at the discretion of the doctor.

Our doctors maintain active staff privileges at:

  • Pennsylvania Hospital
  • St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children
  • Bryn Mawr Hospital

Additionally, they are extensively involved as surgeons with the St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children Cleft Palate / Craniofacial Team.
