Maxillofacial Surgery

When facial reconstruction, including procedures involving the oral cavity, is called for, a specialist is needed. Surgical procedures of the neck and head area are performed by a maxillofacial surgeon.

Common maxillofacial procedures include denture-related procedures and jaw surgery.

Jaw Correction

Protruding chins, crooked or buck teeth or misaligned teeth are good candidates for maxillofacial surgery.

In some people, jaws do not grow at the same rate; one may come in larger than the other, or simply not be aligned properly with other bony structures in the skull. This can cause problems other than appearance issues; an improperly aligned jaw can cause problems with the tongue and lips, and speech and chewing problems as well. Jaw surgery can move jaws into their proper place.

Other kinds of maxillofacial surgery can correct problems with upper facial features such as the nose and cheek.

In addition to correcting jaw problems surgically, orthodontic appliances such as braces may be needed to restore bite relationship and ensure continued proper alignment of the jaw. In some cases, tiny wires or small rubber bands may be needed to keep the jaws in place and promote faster healing. In other cases, small "fixation" screws or plates may need to be inserted in the jaws to facilitate easy movement of the jaws following surgery.

Denture Fatigue

People who have worn dentures for a long time can sometimes experience loss of gum tissue and even bone, mostly from the wear and tear of the appliance on the soft tissues of their mouth.

In extreme cases, maxillofacial surgery, including bone grafts, manipulation of soft tissues or even jaw realignment, may be performed to correct such problems.

  • "Having recently moved to the Dublin-Hilliard area, I was looking for a new dentist. After researching several and reviewing client comments, I booked an appointment with Dr. Tong, who I found extremely competent, professional, friendly and more than willing to explain the services his practice offered. Unlike many dentists, who "farm out" cleaning, etc. to their techs, Dr. Tong performed the service himself. I was impressed. His is a small practice with a friendly and very competent staff. As someone without dental insurance, I found his fairly priced dental insurance package smart and affordable for my needs. I don't recommend services I received lightly. Dr. Tong and Green Dental Dublin is one I'm happy to post."

  • "It was such a great experience to visit this dental office. Dr. Tong and Dr. Wang admitted me immediately when I was in such denture pain. Dr. Tong analyzed the issue carefully and offered several solutions. Within just a few minutes, my pain was relieved without any medication. I wouldn’t consider this dental office if I could find other dental offices admitting me immediately. Now, I felt very fortunate visited this office and knowing how great doctors they both are! The office staff is supper nice and atmosphere is so family friendly! Strong recommendation for this dental office."

  • "Great practice and very personable staff. I hadn’t visited the dentist in about 4 years, so I was very nervous going in. They were wonderful and eased my nerves. They are also very reasonably priced for someone who doesn’t have dental insurance."

  • "I have been a patient of Dr. Wang’s for a couple of years. I was so excited when she and Dr. Tong opened up a dental office in Dublin last month – Dublin Green Family Dental. Their dental place is very welcoming and is equipped with cutting edge technology to treat even the most complicated dental issues in house. They have late evening hours on Mondays and Thursdays to accommodate people’s busy day schedule. Dr. Wang is one of the kindest, and most understanding dentist. She explains what needs to be done, lets you decide, and never pressures you. She is very experienced, gentle, and effective. She always knows what to do and works with you to make sure you are 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Dr. Wang and her Dublin Green Family Dental!!!"
