Scope
Dr. Steinberg, Dr. Nick & Dr. Figueroa practice the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. With expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery. This also includes bone grafting techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. We commonly receive referrals from other dental specialists including oral surgeons, periodontists and physicians for difficult or retreatment cases and for complication management.
Implants
Our practice uses top of the line implant technology, using 15 different brands. We have an implant for any situation and we believe in selecting the correct brand and size for each patient.
We use short implants to avoid anatomical structures, thin implants, wide implants and long implants.
Our implants come in high grade Titanium and Zirconium and we only purchase implants from high-end, quality and time tested companies. We perform immediate placement on molars and premolars, incisor teeth and multiple implants for full arch reconstruction. We are one of the few practices that places long implants in the cheek bone. We tissue graft as necessary for implants and place both CAD/CAM guided and non-guided implants.
Materials
We offer multiple material options for bone and tissue grafting, and biologic materials to improve healing. Our bone grafting options are autologous (from the patients’ jaw, hip, skull, knee), allograft (human donor), and xenograft (bovine or cow bone). For tissue we use autologous from the roof of the mouth or tuberosity, human donor, and synthetic lab based tissue options. We use platelet rich plasma and platelet rich fibrin as necessary to provide additional growth factors to surgical sites.
