Modern oral and maxillofacial surgery goes far beyond tooth extractions. It’s a specialty that blends precision, technology, and artistry to address complex issues affecting the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. At Minnesota Oral & Facial Surgery (MNOFS), patients benefit from a team of board-certified oral surgeons who are passionate about patient-centric, state-of-the-art treatment plans. Whether it’s dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, or facial trauma care, the goal is the same: improve function, restore aesthetics, and enhance lives.
What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is a recognized surgical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries, and developmental conditions that affect the face, mouth, and jaw. This field bridges medicine and dentistry—and requires extensive surgical training and certification. Surgeons often handle procedures that encompass both aesthetic improvements and medically necessary reconstructions.
Common Oral and Maxillofacial Procedures at MNOFS
The expert team at MNOFS offers a wide range of specialized treatments tailored to each patient’s unique condition. Below is a closer look at the most common procedures:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a gold-standard solution for missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to anchor natural-looking restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. At MNOFS, implant placement often utilizes advanced technology like 3D imaging and X-Nav Machine for improved accuracy and outcomes. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or all upper/lower teeth, solutions such as full arch implants or bar attachment dentures provide patients with permanent, life-like smiles.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are frequently impacted and can cause discomfort, infection, or crowding. With a focus on patient comfort, MNOFS ensures that wisdom tooth extraction is safe, stress-free, and well-managed using appropriate sedation options tailored to individual needs.
Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
Jaw misalignment can lead to bite problems, speech impairment, and even breathing issues. Orthognathic surgery corrects these issues while enhancing facial harmony. MNOFS surgeons develop customized treatment plans in collaboration with orthodontists to align function and aesthetics. Explore how jaw procedures can enhance your smile and health.
Facial Trauma and Reconstruction
Whether due to accidents, sports injuries, or other trauma, treating facial fractures and disfigurements requires deep expertise. The team at MNOFS excels in the comprehensive management of facial trauma, aiming to restore both appearance and facial function gracefully and effectively.
Oral Pathology and Oral Cancer Care
Prompt diagnosis can be life-saving when it comes to oral abnormalities. From biopsy to surgical treatment of oral cancer, MNOFS provides exceptional expertise supported by their involvement in foundations and initiatives like the Head and Neck Cancer Foundation. Early detection and treatment are crucial—see how oral pathology screenings benefit patients across Minnesota.
Bone Grafting Procedures
Lacking the jawbone needed for dental implants? Advanced bone grafting techniques like sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and bone morphogenetic proteins prepare your jaw for successful implant therapy. These treatments rebuild jaw structure while preserving your facial contours.
Cosmetic Facial Surgery
Oral surgeons are also facial aesthetic experts. MNOFS offers cosmetic options such as brow lifts, eyelid surgery, facelifts, dermal fillers, and Botox®. These services help patients look as good as they feel after transformative oral and facial treatments.
