Services
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Our surgeons perform routine and complex wisdom teeth extractions using advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and recovery time. Patients benefit from pre-operative consultations, personalized treatment plans, and post-operative care. This service addresses impacted teeth, infections, and overcrowding, ensuring long-term oral health. Expertise in anesthesia ensures patient comfort during procedures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium posts that fuse with the jawbone, providing a durable foundation for artificial teeth. Our team evaluates bone density and oral health to ensure successful integration. This service restores chewing function, prevents bone loss, and improves facial aesthetics. Long-term follow-up ensures implant stability and patient satisfaction.

Corrective jaw surgery addresses functional issues like overbites, underbites, and sleep apnea. Procedures realign jaws for proper bite alignment, improving speech, chewing, and breathing. Collaboration with orthodontists ensures comprehensive treatment. Recovery includes dietary guidelines and physical therapy to optimize outcomes.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery restores form and function after facial trauma, tumors, or congenital defects. Techniques include bone grafting, soft tissue repair, and microvascular surgery. Our team works with oncologists and trauma specialists to address complex cases. The goal is to achieve natural aesthetics and functional recovery.
Head & Neck Cancer Surgery
We specialize in removing tumors of the mouth, throat, and thyroid while preserving critical nerves and structures. Procedures include neck dissections and skull base surgery.

Report
Had my wisdom teeth extracted at Head & Neck by Dr. Cheng, and the procedure went as smoothly as it could be. I was a little nervous before my procedure, but Dr. Cheng and his staff were very patient and made me feel calm. The procedure was around 45 minutes, Dr. Cheng is both efficient and adept at wisdom teeth removal. I recovered after 5 days and made progress daily towards eating normal food again. : A big thank you to Dr. Cheng and his staff for their amazing work. They are professional, thoughtful, and warm. Would highly recommend Dr. Cheng to others who are searching for an oral surgeon!

I had an extensive surgery on my mouth and my surgeon was Dr. Eric Dierks. Dr. Dierks is not only a very experienced, highly skilled surgeon but he has such a vast wealth of knowledge that he takes any fears and questions you may have away. He performed a very complex surgery on my mouth and I have never had a surgeon with such an Amazing bedside manner, he not only took the time and patience to explain every detail but he was gentle, and careful during my entire care.
He followed up with so much care and help after I went home, I was able to feel completely cared for therfor my healing was swift and with no complications. I have had over 25 surgeries and he was the best surgeon I have ever had from start to finish. He has such a unique, caring heart for his patients and such a passion for his patients that anyone would be blessed to have him on your case.

I had my wisdom teeth removed here, all 4 of them at once. I was really stressed about the procedure, however, the staff was very helpful, supportive and kind, which helped me a lot. Dr. Caitlin B.L. Magraw was my surgeon, and I want to thank her for managing to do this procedure such that I was able to recover very quickly and didn't experience a lot of pain afterwards. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants good service and fast recovery!

I called ahead of time to. Confirm my appointment and then 2 days before they left a voice mail telling me they changed their minds and I needed to come in earlier. Not to mention I was given the wrong information once before, so I was forced to reschedule.
