You Really Need a Second Opinion if You Require Jaw Surgery
It is a complex procedure if you live or work in San Francisco and need jaw surgery. Because of the difficulties involved, you need a specialist surgeon, not just a general surgeon. Indeed, at Oral Surgery San Francisco, our Dr. Alex Rabinovich is one of the top-rated jaw surgeons in California, and it is a result of the many years of training he has undergone in jaw surgery procedures.
As one of California’s foremost top-rated jaw surgeons, Dr. Rabinovich carries out wisdom teeth extraction, a fairly common procedure. He also undertakes jaw surgery for facial trauma, which can vary enormously depending on the extent of the damage caused. This can involve extensive surgery, which may be carried out in several surgeries needed over time.
Why You Might Need A Second Opinion on Jaw Surgery
“Jaw surgery is a diverse and complex type of surgery. Each patient brings a different set of circumstances which require individual solutions,” Dr. Alex Rabinovich, head of Oral Surgery San Francisco. “I recommend Bay Area patients double-check their situation with a second specialist before moving ahead. A second opinion on jaw surgery could improve the outcome.”
Basic oral surgery procedures are typical in the Bay Area. Residents might not think twice about scheduling a root canal or tooth extraction with an oral surgeon referred by a dentist. However, if a patient suffers from malocclusion or unequal growth of the jaws, the surgery will become more complex. Patients can benefit from double-checking with a top-rated oral surgeon in San Francisco. Repairing the jaw due to trauma or disease may affect other parts of the face.
All Forms Of Oral Surgery
There is also surgery for TMJ disorder, oral pathology, which can involve soft tissue lesions such as ulcers and bumps, and hard tissue lesions involving teeth or bone. Patients may require bone grafting, cleft lip or palate treatment, or sleep apnea treatment. Being one of the top-rated jaw surgeons in California, Dr. Rabinovich can also provide any cosmetic surgery required, such as a facelift or neck lift, nose reconstruction, Neurotoxin and other dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and other procedures.
Some people suffer from jaw problems such as malocclusion resulting in an overbite or underbite and as a consequence of unequal growth of the jaws. If this is only a minor issue, it can sometimes be managed by orthodontics, but more complex problems will result in a facial deformity and loss of function. This requires orthognathic surgery to achieve the correct bite and, at the same time, produce a pleasing aesthetic appearance.
The surgery is undertaken under general anesthetic and requires an overnight stay in the hospital. It will also take between four and six weeks of recovery time before being able to return to work. Depending on the problem, surgery may be required on one or both jaws.
Free Consultation for Second Opinions
If you need jaw surgery in San Francisco, you really need to get a second opinion. Dr. Rabinovich is happy to provide all patients with a free consultation and examination when he can evaluate your condition and give you his recommendations.
