An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is trained to diagnose and treat a variety of dental issues, as well as head and neck conditions and injuries. These surgeons spend four years in dental school, followed by four to six additional years of formal training on the craniomaxillofacial complex. This is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA) and international organizations. Set up a consultation with Dr. Terri so she can refer you to the oral maxillofacial surgeon that can best treat your needs.
