Stanford School of Medicine’s Oral Medicine & Maxillofacial Surgery Service provides the highest quality of patient care and innovative research.
CLINICAL FOCUS
Our team includes Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Hospital Dentists, and Plastic Surgeons to provide a wide variety of treatment options including corrective jaw surgery, sleep apnea treatment, removal of cysts and other lesions, removal of impacted third molars, reconstruction of craniofacial anomalies, and trauma surgery.
