Fillings
Crowns
As one of the most significant dental innovations in recent times, a dental implant is a small surgical post made of biocompatible metal or ceramic, that is placed into the jawbone to function in the same manner as the root of a natural tooth. In the same way that a root supports the natural crown of your tooth, an implant integrates over time with the surrounding bone to provide a stable and durable foundation for a single dental crown or bridge, as well as a complete set of upper or lower replacement teeth.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
In some cases, a tooth that has had a root canal, which did not sufficiently heal or has become re-infected, is not a candidate for retreatment with a second root canal procedure. For these teeth, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon can perform a minor surgical procedure, which is known as an apicoectomy. This procedure effectively treats the infection at the root-end to preserve and save the tooth. An apicoectomy serves as an excellent next step procedure to save a previously treated natural tooth, eliminate a dental infection, and to restore the health of the surrounding tissues. It is most useful in cases where fractures or hidden canals still cause pain or infection around a treated tooth, as well as when a second root canal procedure is not recommended as it will further weaken and jeopardize the tooth.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy may be performed under local anesthesia or in conjunction with dental sedation if it is selected or indicated. It is typically a straightforward procedure during which an incision is made in the gum tissue to access the tip of the involved root. Once uncovered, the damaged tissue in the area is removed along with a few millimeters of the tooth’s root end. A biocompatible filling material is then placed to seal the remaining portion of the root to prevent any possibility of reinfection. The gum tissue flap is put back into place and sutured to complete the procedure.

Dental Implants
For patients lacking a sufficient amount of bone for a dental implant to replace a maxillary back tooth (upper back tooth), a procedure, which is known as a "sinus lift" is performed. During this surgical procedure, the sinus membrane is lifted, and bone graft material is added between the jaw and the floor of the sinus to provide the needed bone height to support a dental implant successfully.

Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Vakkas is both a licensed dentist and physician and holds board certification from the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He obtained his doctor of dental surgery from Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery and his medical degree at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. He completed an internship in general surgery before completing his Oral and Maxillofacial residency at New York Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center.
Tooth Extractions
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are often referred patients by general dentists as well as dental specialists for the extraction of permanent or primary teeth that are erupted, unerupted, fractured, severely broken down, or ankylosed (fused to the surrounding bone). With their extensive training in both medicine and dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgeons are also called upon to treat patients who are undergoing complex medical treatment, have certain medical conditions or take specific medications that can influence dental extractions as well as healing and recovery from all types of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures.
Ridge Augmentation
In addition to bone grafting for purposes of ridge preservation or augmentation to allow for dental implants, an aesthetic ridge augmentation procedure to restore the natural contours of the bone is sometimes performed in preparation for fixed bridgework to achieve a more cosmetically pleasing result.
Bone Grafting
Lateral Window Technique- This method of care involves cutting out and pushing a defined section of the overlying dental bone against the sinus membrane to elevate it. The space that the dental bone and sinus membrane previously occupied is then filled with bone grafting material. Afterward, the area is given several months to heal before the implant is placed.
