Jaw Surgery

Our team of specialists will discuss different treatment options with you to find the right one for your needs so you can enjoy a healthy, uniform smile. Call Almaden Valley Surfside Kids Dental at 408-770-9383 to schedule a consultation with our orthodontist and team to learn more about orthognathic surgery in Almaden Valley and San Jose, California.

Our orthodontist and team will always recommend a conservative course of treatment whenever possible. However, there may be times when abnormalities or injuries to your teeth, facial bones or jaws require surgical treatment. You should visit our orthodontist for an examination and consultation if you experience problems eating, speaking or even sleeping due to a jaw or bite issue. Our orthodontist can determine if you are a candidate for orthognathic, or jaw, surgery. In addition to improving your oral health and function, jaw surgery can relieve discomfort and enhance your facial appearance.

After your examination, our orthodontist will review the findings and your surgical options with you. Once a course of treatment has been decided, we will walk you through the procedure in detail, including how to prepare for surgery and what to do for aftercare to ensure a successful outcome and proper healing. We use leading-edge technology, materials and techniques to create the best possible results for your smile, and we offer sedation dentistry options to help keep you comfortable during your visit. If you are experiencing problems with your bite or jaw function in San Jose, we invite you to call our office at 408-770-9383 and schedule an appointment with our orthodontist.
