Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They fuse with the bone through osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for crowns or dentures. Ideal for restoring single or multiple missing teeth, implants preserve jawbone structure and mimic natural tooth function. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech, and confidence while avoiding bone atrophy associated with tooth loss.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal addresses impacted or problematic third molars that cause pain, infection, or crowding. The procedure involves extracting teeth that lack space to erupt properly, preventing damage to adjacent teeth and gum disease. Patients experience relief from discomfort and reduced risk of cysts or alignment issues. Recovery typically requires a few days of soft foods and limited activity to ensure proper healing.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery realigns misaligned upper or lower jaws to improve function and facial aesthetics. It addresses conditions like underbites, overbites, and sleep apnea by repositioning bones with titanium plates and screws. Patients regain proper chewing, speaking, and breathing capabilities while achieving balanced facial symmetry. Recovery includes a six-week soft diet and orthodontic adjustments for optimal bite alignment.
Facial Trauma Repair
Facial trauma repair treats fractures of the jaw, cheekbones, or eye sockets caused by injuries. Surgeons use 3D imaging to plan precise bone repositioning, secured with titanium hardware. The goal is to restore facial structure, vision, and jaw function while minimizing scarring. Recovery involves dietary restrictions and avoiding physical strain to ensure proper bone healing.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses disorders of the temporomandibular joint through conservative or surgical interventions. Options include splints, physical therapy, or arthroscopy to alleviate pain, clicking, or limited jaw movement. Patients experience reduced headaches and improved jaw mobility, restoring comfort during eating and speaking without invasive procedures when possible.

So far I have had the pleasure to go in for just a consultation. I immediately got a warm welcome from the staff. Any questions I had were answered graciously. All staff were wearing masks and the facility was very clean. Weird to say but I look forward to future surgery's with this facility and staff.

Alas, I needed a tooth extraction. Rockcliff Center was recommended and I'm so glad. Dr. Hayes did a great job and kept me informed every step of the way. His staff was very skilled and caring, and all went well. Hope I never lose another tooth, but if I need to, I know just where I'll go.

I've had a number of surgeries done here and each time it was a crisp and professional experience. The crew is light and cheerful and equipment is very modern. The surgeon communicated every thing he did with an informative explanation. Very happy with the results, and my case was far from simple.
