Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Welcome to the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Boston Medical Center.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are specialists with expertise in the diagnosis, surgical and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and esthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.

As one of the oldest, structured oral and maxillofacial surgery departments in the USA, we have a long and historical tradition of excellence. Since its inception in the early 1900’s at Boston City Hospital, the department has been a leader in Education, Clinical Care, Research, Administration, and Community Service. We continually strive to strengthen our commitment to community outreach programs, develop new strategic partnerships, expand the clinical footprint, and improve our highly reputable residency and fellowship training programs.

Our doctors are intensely involved in the education of dental and medical students and postgraduate residents. We hold offices in prestigious national and international professional societies, conduct research studies, publish scientific articles in journals and textbooks, and give invited lecture presentations, both nationally and internationally. In addition, our team regularly travels with charitable organizations and cleft lip and palate surgery missions to provide much needed surgical treatment in developing countries.

Besides being involved in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired facial deformities, TMJ disorders, sleep apnea and snoring, facial trauma and reconstruction, and pathological diseases of the oral cavity and facial regions, we offer expanded scope surgical care including microneurosurgery, facial cosmetic treatments, and head and neck cancer surgery with microvascular reconstruction capability. Our patients can be assured that the care they receive here with us is the most contemporary and state-of-the-art treatment available.
