Patient Information

Background Information

Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Hoghooghi or Dr. Lee manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions.

Drs. Hoghooghi and Lee practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from dental implants and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery. This also includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. Our doctors can also diagnose and treat facial trauma.
