Let's start with the basics. An intra-oral camera is a sophisticated piece of equipment used by dentists like Dr. Lee R. Walker, Dr. Scott D. Morgan, and Dr. Brian C. Lee at Los Gatos Oral & Facial Surgery. It is a small, pen-sized device equipped with a tiny camera at its tip. This camera allows your dentist to capture high-resolution, real-time images of the inside of your mouth. These images are then displayed on a monitor, enabling both you and your dentist to see a detailed view of your oral cavity.

Implant-supported dentures, offered by Los Gatos Oral & Facial Surgery, are a modern dental innovation that combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of traditional dentures. This revolutionary approach provides a secure, natural-looking solution for those who have lost some or all of their teeth.

Did you know the jawbone immediately begins reshaping and re-contouring the minute a tooth is extracted – or pulled? The body is a very efficient machine, and it doesn’t like to waste resources.

Ideally, oral surgery to remove baby teeth would be rare. The reality is tooth extractions are considered the most common surgical procedure in the United States.

Not only are dental implants safe for diabetics, forgoing dentures for more permanent dental implants can improve the health of those with diabetes.

Dental implants are not permanent, but they are the most permanent form of prosthetic dental replacement available for patients who suffer from severe tooth decay.

As oral surgeons, we love the mouth. We’re amazed by all of the processes that take place as the result of the complex anatomy found there.

Oral surgeons specialize in the maxillofacial region of the body. This includes the bones and connective tissues that comprise the forehead, cheekbones and face, as well as their surrounding soft tissues.

Dental Veneers and Dental Implants both can give patients a beautiful white smile. Deciding what restorative or cosmetic option works best for you depends on the condition of your teeth.

Orthodontics is more commonly used with treatment for teens, but in many cases adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment also. Patients are never too old for orthodontic treatment, and correcting your teeth can be just as successful for adults as it is for younger patients.
