Surgical rehabilitation is necessary when a patient’s function and esthetic is compromised and there is no longer sufficient bone or soft tissue to allow for a predictable method to replace missing teeth.  Patients have inadequate bone or soft tissue due to prior loss of teeth, bone loss around existing teeth, trauma, or jaw pathology.  Surgical rehabilitation is the reconstruction of what is no longer present in order to create a predictable long-term prosthetic to improve a patient’s overall function and appearance of their smile.  At Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery, we have the surgical expertise and technology to correctly diagnose problems and develop treatment solutions that can restore a patient’s smile and give them the ability to eat the foods that they love.
