Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

There is no doubt about the power of an enchanting smile and there is no better substitute for replacing missing teeth than with dental implants. It is therefore no surprise that Drs. Cliff Walzer, Neil Sullivan and Borek Hlousek focus their practice on creating beautiful smiles and restoring healthy function to the teeth and jaws. By embracing the team approach to patient care, each doctor combines his diagnostic and surgical skills with the talents of restorative dentists to provide the optimum care that patients deserve.

Of all the procedures they perform, the doctors have taken a special interest in the replacement of teeth utilizing dental implants. With recent technological advances, Drs. Walzer, Sullivan and Hlousek obtain three-dimensional images of a patient’s jaw structure and plan the positioning of dental implants on computers. This allows them to place the implants with precise alignment. The doctors are licensed to administer general anesthesia in their offices, which help make any surgical procedure a comfortable, painfree experience.

“There is no doubt about the power of an enchanting smile.”

As board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Drs. Walzer, Sullivan and Hlousek are well trained in all aspects of implant surgery as well as other conditions of the mouth, teeth and face. Their expertise includes treating wisdom teeth, facial and dental trauma, oral pathology and TMJ disorders. They are also trained in the treatment of jaw growth abnormalities and malocclusions with corrective jaw surgery. The practice’s offices offer warm, comfortable settings, and their top-notch, professional business staff assists patients with everything from scheduling to insurance.
