Knoxville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

The oral surgeons and our team of dental professionals at Knoxville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, P.C., in Knoxville, TN, can help you maintain both your oral and overall health with a number of procedures outside the scope of what a dentist can perform. Some maxillofacial surgeons rely on performing treatments at a hospital. This can add to cost of the procedure and a level of inconvenience, as the surgeon must schedule the oral surgery in a time that works for both the patient and the hospital.

At Knoxville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, P.C., our surgical centers are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, advanced tools, and sedation so that we can assure that every aspect of your treatment is held to our high standards.
