2. Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for
replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth
regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial
contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.
Oral Surgery
As an expert oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Drs. Fatehi and Markowitz manage and treat a wide
variety of problems related to the entire oral cavity. Our treatments include, but are not limited
to, surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, uncovering impacted, unerupted teeth,
apicoectomies, bone grafting, sinus lifts, soft tissue surgeries, periodontal surgery and implant
placement.
Bone Grafting
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This
often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for
placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement
of dental implants.
Tooth Extractions
When tooth removal is necessary, we can perform simple and surgical extractions using local
anesthesia or IV sedation. If you choose, we can also replace the missing teeth with dental
implants.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
By the age of eighteen, the average adult has 32 teeth; 16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the
bottom. Each tooth in the mouth has a specific name and function. The teeth in the front of the
mouth (incisors, canine and bicuspid teeth) are ideal for grasping and biting food into smaller
pieces. The back teeth or molar teeth are used to grind food up into a consistency suitable for
swallowing.

3. Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is needed when jaws don't meet correctly and/or teeth don't seem to fit with
jaws. Teeth are straightened with orthodontics and corrective jaw surgery repositions misaligned
jaws. This not only improves facial appearance, but also ensures that teeth meet correctly and
function properly.
TMJ Disorders
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are a family of problems related to your complex jaw
joint. If you have had symptoms like pain or a "clicking" sound, you'll be glad to know that these
problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than they were in the past. These symptoms
occur when the joints of the jaw and the chewing muscles (muscles of mastication) do not work
together correctly. TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint, which is the name for each joint
(right and left) that connects your jaw to your skull. Since some types of TMJ problems can lead
to more serious conditions, early detection and treatment are important.
Treatment of Sleep Apnea
People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have disrupted sleep and low blood oxygen levels.
When obstructive sleep apnea occurs, the tongue is sucked against the back of the throat. This
blocks the upper airway and air flow stops. When the oxygen level in the brain becomes low
enough, the sleeper partially awakens, the obstruction in the throat clears and the flow of air
starts again, usually with a loud gasp.
Oral Lesions and Tumors
Our doctors specialize in the surgical removal of oral lesions or tumors.
Treatment of Facial Wrinkles and Frown Lines
For patients that want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and frown lines on the face, we offer
highly safe and effective non-surgical procedures that have very little side effects. Please call us
to find out more.
