Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Upon successful completion of the oral examination, you are Board Certified, which is valid for a period of 10 years, when you have to re-certify. This involves submitting new cases to the examiners. I would be happy to show you my board cases if interested.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Jaw Surgery
  Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often, these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing, talking, sleeping and other routine activities.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics is a voluntary process by which an orthodontist has demonstrated the highest level of skill, knowledge and education through a written and oral clinical exam. To become board certified, you must have graduated from an accredited orthodontic specialty program which makes you eligible to take the first part of the boards, the written exam. Upon successful completion of the written exam, you are then eligible to take the oral clinical exam. This part of the exam requires you to present 6 completed orthodontic cases that have met a minimum level of difficulty, to a board of orthodontic examiners. The examiners evaluate your level of knowledge and skill in treating these difficult cases.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  ® System is a series of clear overlay templates called aligners that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients and some teenagers with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.
• Braces
  ® is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.
