Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Procedures
Personalized Care
Feel good about your treatment plan. Our collaborative approach means you’ll have a team of experts working to meet your needs, improve your oral health, and boost your confidence.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth removal is a safe and common oral surgery procedure. Most dental health professionals recommend wisdom tooth extraction as a preventive measure, since untreated wisdom teeth can cause a host of complications. Our providers are specially qualified to treat simple and complex cases with the highest level of care and expertise. We’ll make sure you or your child have a comfortable and gentle wisdom teeth removal experience.
Dental Implants
Improved oral health meets the smile you deserve. Dental implants are a permanent tooth restoration solution designed to prevent bone loss, preserve facial balance, and restore the look and function of natural teeth. Our in-house oral surgeons and prosthodontists work hand in hand and use the latest surgical techniques to ensure you keep smiling long after your treatment.
Jaw Surgery
The goal of corrective jaw surgery is to optimize the function of the jaw for improved eating, speaking, and breathing. Also known as orthognathic surgery, corrective jaw surgery is a life-changing procedure for those with moderate to severe jaw misalignment. Our jaw surgery experts are passionate about restoring functionality and facial balance. With a customized treatment plan and a team of specialists in your corner, Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery is your destination for improved health and well-being.
TMJ Treatment
A TMJ disorder occurs when the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is not functioning the way it should. Although conservative treatments can be successful, cases that are moderate, severe, or chronic in nature may benefit from surgical treatment. Our specialists have decades of experience successfully treating TMJ disorders. We’ll take the time to understand your unique condition and oral health goals before creating a plan for treatment.
Orofacial Pain Management
The cause and type of orofacial pain is different for each patient. With a range of symptoms and treatment options, it’s important for you to receive an accurate diagnosis and for your doctor to have a precise understanding of your condition. As a provider with a patient-first approach and one of only two board-certified orofacial pain specialists in South Carolina, Dr. Mary Charles Haigler can find the right solution for you.
Cleft & Craniofacial
When the two sides of the face fail to join properly in utero, a cleft lip, cleft palate, or both occur. A cleft lip or cleft palate are common examples of craniofacial disorders, although there are many types of craniofacial anomalies. Treatment for a craniofacial disorder is unique to every patient, and most options recommend treatment at a young age. Our team of specialists use every resource at their disposal and undergo rigorous planning to meet your child’s unique needs and deliver a safe and successful treatment.
