What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is a specialized field of dentistry and medicine that focuses on diagnosing and surgically treating diseases, injuries, and defects involving the mouth, jaw, face, and neck. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete four to six years of additional hospital-based surgical training beyond dental school, making them uniquely qualified to perform procedures that blend dentistry and medicine.

At OMSA New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM, our surgeons are fully trained in both dental and medical disciplines — meaning they can safely administer anesthesia, manage complex cases, and coordinate care with your referring dentist or primary care physician.

Oral and Facial Surgery Services We Offer in New Mexico

Our Albuquerque, NM practice offers a comprehensive range of oral and facial surgery procedures for patients from throughout New Mexico, including Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Corrales, Los Lunas, and Santa Fe.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect your confidence, speech, and long-term jaw health. Our surgeons place dental implants with precision, restoring your smile with permanent, natural-looking results. We offer single implants, implant-supported bridges, and the innovative All-on-4® treatment for full-arch restoration.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are among the most common reasons patients seek oral and facial surgery in New Mexico. Our Albuquerque, NM surgeons use 3D imaging technology and gentle techniques to safely remove wisdom teeth with minimal discomfort and fast recovery times.

Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)

Jaw misalignment can cause difficulty chewing, speaking, breathing, and even sleeping. Our surgeons specialize in orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery, repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to restore proper function and facial balance. Patients from across New Mexico — including Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and Los Lunas — travel to our Albuquerque office for this life-changing procedure.

Tooth Extractions

From simple extractions to complex surgical removals, our team handles all levels of tooth extraction with care and precision. We offer multiple anesthesia options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Chin Augmentation & Facial Surgery

Beyond the teeth and jaw, OMSA New Mexico provides facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, including chin augmentation. This procedure improves facial harmony and is often performed alongside orthognathic surgery for patients seeking comprehensive facial balance.

Sleep Apnea Surgery

For patients in Albuquerque, NM and across New Mexico who have not found relief from CPAP therapy, surgical intervention for sleep apnea may be an option. Our surgeons evaluate each patient individually to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Bone Grafting

Adequate bone volume is essential for successful dental implant placement. Our oral and facial surgery team performs advanced bone grafting procedures — including sinus lifts and ridge augmentation — to rebuild bone and prepare your jaw for implants, even in complex cases.
