Oral and maxillofacial surgery is an advanced surgical specialty which requires many years of hospital-based residency training following the awarding of the doctorate degree in dental medicine (D.M.D. or D.D.S.) and often medicine (M.D.). The surgical and anesthesia training during residency is extensive and focuses on the comprehensive care of children and adults. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon our doctors manage a wide variety of problems relating to the face, mouth, jaws and teeth. Drs. Buxbaum, Beanland, Chu, and Vellis practice the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise in pediatric and adult anesthesia, facial trauma surgery, jaw reconstruction, wisdom teeth removal, dental implant surgery, facial pain, and management of obstructive sleep apnea.
