Texas Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Thank you to Dr.'s Jorge Garcia and Holt for the fantastic strawberries! They were loved and enjoyed by all on our team!

💡 Orthognathic = straight jaw

Orthognathic surgery is needed when jaws don't line up correctly and/or teeth don't seem to fit within the jaws. Luckily, Dr. Bates will work closely with you, your dentist and your orthodontist to give you a more attractive, functional and healthy smile.

We’re throwing it back to Dr. Bates' medical school graduation!

Congratulations to all Dallas graduates on your amazing accomplishments! 🎓

Be proud of your smile with dental implants! 👍

They are the next best thing to healthy, natural teeth, AND give you the confidence you’ve been looking for.

Do you experience any of these common TMJ symptoms:

◽️ Grinding or clenching your teeth
◽️ Waking up with sore, stiff muscles around your jaws
◽️ Frequent headaches or neck aches
◽️ Worse pain when you clench your teeth
◽️ Jaw joint popping, clicking or locking

If you answered ‘yes’ to these, contact us to discuss more about TMJ disorders. In most cases, Dr. Bates can help you have a healthier and more comfortable jaw. (214) 824-8960 https://www.texasoms.com/tmjdisorders

Thank you, Jessica, for the kind words!

It's important to understand what wisdom teeth are so you can act preventatively. We recommend early removal to avoid problems and decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure.

If you're wondering about your wisdom teeth, contact us today for a consultation or appointment (214) 824-8960

Sending love and appreciation to all of our patients, friends, and family today! ❤️

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are a family of problems related to your complex jaw joint. There is actually a constellation of related conditions, which we group together under the heading temporomandibular disorders, or TMD.

If you have had symptoms like pain or a "clicking" sound, you'll be glad to know these problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than they were in the past. No one treatment can resolve TMJ disorders completely and treatment takes time to be effective, but we can, in most cases, help you have a healthier and more comfortable jaw.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the staff at Texas Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery!

Why that matters to us: Keeping your mouth healthy has a direct correlation to keeping the rest of your body healthy. Not only do your dental visits help to detect potential oral health concerns, but can also indicate other overall health problems.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their positive experiences with us! We are so thankful to serve such an amazing community of patients.
