Why Choose HNSA for Your Oral Surgery Needs?
Head & Neck Surgical Associates is not a standard dental clinic; we are a comprehensive surgical practice staffed by dual-degreed, board-certified physicians trained in both medicine (M.D.) and dentistry (D.D.S./D.M.D.). This unique combination of training allows us to handle complex cases that bridge the gap between dentistry and medical surgery.
We are proud to serve the community as a premier destination for oral surgery and facial reconstruction. Our surgeons hold leadership positions at major local hospitals, directing programs at the Providence Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Clinic and the Legacy Good Samaritan Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Program.
Whether you need routine wisdom teeth removal or complex corrective jaw surgery, our team utilizes advanced virtual surgical planning (VSP) to ensure precision and optimal outcomes.
Our Core Services Serving the Pearl District
We offer a full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial procedures. Below are some of the most common treatments sought by our neighbors in the Pearl District.
Dental Implants & Bone Grafting
If you are missing teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution. Our surgeons are experts in placing implants, from single-tooth replacements to full-arch restorations. For patients with bone loss, we perform advanced bone grafting to create a solid foundation for your implants.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and crowding. We provide safe and comfortable wisdom teeth removal under appropriate sedation and general anesthesia options to ensure a stress-free experience.
Corrective Jaw (Orthognathic) Surgery
Misalignment of the jaws can lead to difficulty chewing, speech issues, and sleep apnea. We specialize in jaw alignment surgery, working closely with orthodontists to correct overbites, underbites, and facial asymmetry. This procedure not only improves function but can also dramatically enhance facial aesthetics.
Facial Cosmetic Surgery
In addition to functional surgery, our surgeons are fellowship-trained in facial cosmetics. We offer procedures ranging from rhinoplasty and facial implants to non-surgical options like fillers and neuromodulators.
Trauma and Reconstruction
Our team is on call for the region’s busiest Level I Trauma Center. We provide expert care for facial trauma reconstruction, treating fractures and soft tissue injuries with a focus on minimizing scarring and restoring form.
