ORAL MEDICINE & MAXILLOFACIAL RADIOLOGY

Oral Medicine & Maxillofacial Radiology

We bring "Medicine to Dentistry”. Our branch serves as a bridge between the two professions. Oral Medicine is the discipline of dentistry concerned with the oral health care of medically complex patients - including the diagnosis and management of medical conditions that affect the oral and maxillofacial region.

We treat patients with TMJ Disorders, Burning Mouth, Taste and Smell Disorders, Orofacial and Tooth Pain, Facial Neuralgias, Viral, Bacterial and Fungal Infections and Benign growths of oral cavity. Our doctors have treated thousands of patients whose underlying medical condition affects oral health and delivery of dental care.
