Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are dental specialists who treat conditions, defects, injuries and esthetic aspects of the mouth, teeth, jaws, and face. Their training includes a four-year graduate degree in dentistry and the completion of a minimum four-year hospital surgical residency program. Our surgeons, Drs. Fear, Hitchcock and Baxter, are licensed and board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
Dental implants are titanium posts, which are the equivalent of the root of the natural tooth. Implants are very successful and have been utilized to replace missing teeth for at least forty years. Our surgeons have been involved in implant placement since 1982 and are very experienced having placed thousands of implants.
