ORAL SURGERY EXPERTISE
Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Fanous manages a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. Dr. Fanous provides a wide-range of oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to reconstructive jaw surgery. This also includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. We can also diagnose and treat pain, injuries, and fractures in the facial region.
