Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Patients may benefit from the extensive training and experience of Temple’s oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Whether extracting an impacted tooth, repairing damage sustained during an accident or relieving the pain from a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, our surgeons work with doctors from across the health system to offer the best care for your condition.

Since oral and maxillofacial conditions occur in a highly sensitive and anatomically complex area of the body, it’s important to choose a skilled surgeon surrounded by an excellent support team. Temple’s surgeons are up-to-date on the latest research and surgical approaches and are eager to share this knowledge with patients.
