Why Neighbors in Southwest Hills Choose HNSA
We are not just a dental office; we are a specialized surgical practice. Our surgeons are trained in both medicine and dentistry, holding both M.D. and D.D.S. degrees. This depth of education allows us to handle the most complex functional and aesthetic issues of the face, mouth, and jaws.

Comprehensive Oral and Maxillofacial Services
From restoring smiles to reconstructing facial trauma, our scope of practice is extensive. Below are some of the key services we provide to our patients from the Southwest Hills area.
Dental Implants and Bone Grafting
For patients missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution. Unlike dentures, implants fuse with the jawbone, preserving bone structure and facial aesthetics. Our team utilizes advanced imaging to place implants with extreme precision. If you have experienced bone loss, we also specialize in bone and soft tissue surgery to prepare the mouth for successful restoration.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Adolescents and young adults in Portland Heights often require the removal of third molars to prevent crowding, infection, and impaction. We strive to make wisdom teeth removal a comfortable experience, offering various options for sedation and general anesthesia administered by highly trained professionals.
Corrective Jaw (Orthognathic) Surgery
Misalignment of the jaws can lead to difficulty chewing, speech issues, sleep apnea, and TMJ pain. We are leaders in corrective jaw surgery. Utilizing Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), we map out the procedure digitally before ever entering the operating room. This technology allows us to show patients a preview of their results and ensures the highest level of accuracy during the surgery.
Head and Neck Oncology and Reconstruction
Facing a diagnosis of a tumor or cancer in the head and neck region is daunting. Our practice includes fellowship-trained surgical oncologists who are dedicated to the treatment of oral, head, and neck cancer. Through our partnerships with the Providence Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Clinic and the Legacy Good Samaritan Cancer Center, we provide a multidisciplinary approach that prioritizes both the cure of the disease and the preservation of quality of life (speech, swallowing, and appearance).
Facial Trauma and Reconstruction
Accidents happen, and when they involve the face, specialized care is required to minimize scarring and restore function. For over 30 years, our doctors have been integral members of the region’s trauma teams. We provide expert care for facial trauma, including fractures of the jaw, nose, and orbit, as well as soft tissue injuries.
