What makes oral and maxillofacial surgeons true specialists in the dental field? We must complete a rigorous education and training program that includes dental school, residency, and board certification. Our multi-year hospital-based residencies often take place alongside other surgical specialists. This experience provides exposure to a wide range of cases, from trauma to reconstructive surgery, and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to deliver optimal patient care.

Each year, about 2.2 million bone-grafting procedures are performed worldwide.

Bone grafting helps rebuild or strengthen the jaw so it can properly support a dental implant. The gold standard is autografting, where a patient’s own bone is used to repair and reconstruct areas of the mouth, face, or skull. A bone graft enhances the stability and longevity of dental implants. If a bone graft is recommended before your dental implant surgery, set up your appointment at Arlington Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Arlington, VA: 703-566-1908, Washington, DC: 202-733-1856

The #1 question patients ask about wisdom teeth is: "Do I really need to get them removed?" Wisdom teeth are usually only removed if they cause problems or are likely to cause problems in the future. There are no scientifically proven health benefits of removing wisdom teeth that don't cause problems. However, if you don't have enough room in your mouth for wisdom teeth, or they're painful, infected, or cause other dental problems, they may need to be removed. You may also still need to have them removed, even if they aren't causing any pain. The only way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Patel at Arlington Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Arlington, VA: 703-566-1908, Washington, DC: 202-733-1856

The biggest dental problems are often the ones you can’t feel.

That’s why many patients are often surprised to learn that they need a bone graft before getting dental implants. If you've been missing a tooth for some time, the bone in your jaw may have started to deteriorate without you even knowing. Even without symptoms, jawbone loss can weaken the foundation needed to support an implant. A bone graft with Dr. Patel can help restore a strong foundation for your dental implants.
