Centers for Excellence

All the doctors at South Florida OMS have completed accredited OMFS residencies and are certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS). While all of our doctors enjoy the practice of general oral and maxillofacial surgery, their particular interests and advanced training and experience enabled the formation of our "Centers of Excellence" in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice.

Center for Excellence in Dental Implant Surgery

Considered one of the top centers for Dental Implant Surgery in the US and abroad, many innovative techniques and technologies have been developed or tested at this center. The center offers the latest technology and procedures available to patients undergoing dental implant therapy including: one stage surgical techniques, bone regeneration and grafting procedures, use of hemobiologics to enhance healing, cosmetic gum tissue enhancements, periodontal plastic surgical procedures, and the possibility of "Same Day Teeth" for many patients. This center is the home for the nationally acclaimed ISTM implant soft tissue management & cosmetic periodontal surgery conference and live surgical training courses attended by dental implant surgeons from all areas of the US and abroad. Treatments are delivered in an outpatient sterile operating room environment and multiple dental implant systems are available to ensure that each surgery is individualized to ensure the highest possible success. Accommodations can be arranged for our international patients.

Center for Excellence in Corrective Jaw Surgery

Established in 1985, this was the first center for excellence formed at the South Florida OMS. Receiving patient referrals from the southeast region of the United States, and South and Central America, this center has treated over 1500 patients requiring corrective jaw surgery. Featured in medical publications and programs, it offers the latest techniques and technologies for patients undergoing functional correction of the jaws and related facial structures (see corrective jaw surgery under procedures). Although some of the procedures are performed in the outpatient surgical facility at South Florida OMS, most of the procedures are performed at Baptist hospital of Miami, South Miami hospital, as well as Doctors’ hospital of Miami.
