Oral Surgery Procedures
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a long-term solution for tooth loss. Implants are a reliable, often minimally invasive way to improve your chewing and smile. There are many different types of implant restorations to replace anywhere from a single tooth to all of your teeth. Our team will help you determine which option is best for you.
Third molars, often called “Wisdom teeth,” are the last set of teeth that come into the mouth. These teeth often do not have space to fully erupt and can often cause pain or compromise other teeth and bone if left untreated. Wisdom tooth removal can usually be completed in the office leading to faster recovery and quick resolution of symptoms.
Wisdom Teeth
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is needed when the top and bottom jaws don’t meet correctly and/or teeth don’t adequately fit within the jaw. Teeth are straightened with orthodontics, and corrective jaw surgery repositions a misaligned jaw. This not only improves facial appearance, but also ensures that teeth meet correctly and function properly.
Donna Snyder2023-10-05 Caring, compassionate professionals. I had two molars extracted and had absolutely no swelling and very little discomfort after the surgery. Once I am healed, I am going back for two implants. Don't hesitate to go to this office. I recommend them highly! Charlene Lariosa2022-07-28 It’s been a year since Dr. Kail took my wisdom teeth out and I have nothing to complain about. The before and after process went super smooth. The surgery went excellent, and the he prescribed me really great pain killers so I was not in pain after surgery. The price was really great and I would definitely recommend to visit Dr. Kail for wisdom teeth extraction. Teresa Monier2021-09-12 Best oral surgeon in the universe- excellent surgeon and bedside manner is outstanding- excellent and caring staff !!!! Sam2020-06-15 Great place, nice staff! My anxiety was through the roof because of my tooth extraction. He eased my mind about it and it took all of 10 minutes if that. They numbed me, I sat for 10 minutes then he extracted it. In and out. I definitely recommend Dr. Michael Kail!
Why Choose an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon?
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS) are highly specialized professionals with extensive training and qualifications that make them uniquely suited to manage complex issues involving the face, jaws, and mouth. To become an OMS, one must first complete a bachelor’s degree, followed by a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. This is followed by a rigorous residency program that spans four to six years, during which the surgeon receives intensive training in various areas, including anesthesia, pathology, emergency medicine, and general surgery. Many OMSs also earn a medical degree (MD) during their residency, further enhancing their expertise. This comprehensive training equips them with a deep understanding of both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the oral and maxillofacial region. Dr. Kail and Dr. Moore are both members of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) and are board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery (ABOMS).
Patients should choose an oral surgeon for their needs because of the specialized care and precision they offer. Dr. Kail and Dr. Moore are uniquely qualified to handle a wide range of complex conditions and procedures.
