Oral & Maxillofacial Surgical Technology Cypress

Facial Simulation & Digital Smile Design

We find it helpful to provide patients with a sneak peek of their results before administering any kind of treatment. This is why we use Facial Simulation and Digital Smile Design. By taking a picture of an individual, we can digitally alter their smile and/or face to reveal the expected outcome of treatment. This not only allows us to thoroughly explain the process but also gives each patient the confidence they need to feel good about the kind of care they will receive.

Lumenis Laser Dentistry

Instead of using regular scalpels and sutures to treat soft oral tissues and facial imperfections, our doctors use the Lumenis laser. As a versatile device used in our office, its highly concentrated beam of light can safely remove potentially cancerous lesions and facial scars while also producing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Laser dentistry offers a more comfort-focused approach – one that ensures minimal bleeding and swelling, reduced treatment time, and fast recovery.

CT Scan Guided Oral Surgery

Precision and accuracy are key components of oral surgery. When preparing for dental implant placement or other similar procedures, we turn to our CT scanner. Capturing hundreds of images before forming a single 3D model, the device offers our doctors a clear view of a patient’s teeth, jaw, and internal oral and facial structures. This high-resolution visual is used to reduce the invasiveness of a procedure and ensure that greater efficiency is achieved.

Intraoral Digital Scanning

Gag-inducing dental putty is no longer necessary now that we use intraoral digital scanning. This unique device quickly scans a person’s teeth and bite to create a three-dimensional image that can be used to create a more accurate model. The process takes only a few minutes, and there is no mess that our team or patients have to worry about.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is often a necessary procedure for patients who lack jawbone density. This area of the mouth and face is important when preparing to place dental implants. Without a stable base for these prosthetics, they will fail. By incorporating bone from a patient’s body or a cadaver, it can be incorporated with the existing material and begin to integrate. This creates a firm foundation for what will become the base of a patient’s new smile.

Tissue & Bone Engineering

Many of the services we provide require substantial bone and gum tissue. If an individual is not cleared for surgery right away, they might need a special service to speed up the process – tissue and bone engineering. Designed to ensure successful healing, our doctors offer many solutions, such as platelet rich plasma (PRP), rhPDGF, rhBMP2, and enamel matrix protein therapies. Not only will these methods restore bone and gum tissue, but they’ll also allow patients to recapture their overall health and aesthetics.

Cosmetic Surgery Services

A person’s aesthetics can make a difference when it comes to opening doors of opportunity. While it’s always our priority to ensure the health of each patient’s smile, our doctors understand the importance of maintaining beautiful teeth as well as a more youthful appearance. This is why we incorporate cosmetic surgery services at our Cypress office. Whether it’s to enhance one’s facial skin, remove scars, or define a more attractive jawline, we can generate the results patients desire to live with renewed confidence.
