Oral Surgery, Wisdom Teeth Removal, and Dental Implant Experts in Reno, NV

Patients with one or more missing teeth are often candidates for dental implants, a permanent and natural-looking restorative solution. Dental implants replace a missing tooth, including the root, and stimulate the jaw bone to keep it healthy. You care for a dental implant with regular brushing and flossing, just like a natural tooth. The implant post will fuse to the jaw bone, making it a permanent addition to your smile. Dental implants can even support a fixed denture for patients missing an entire arch of teeth through full-arch restoration.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons like Dr. Galea undergo additional training beyond dental school. During this residency period, they gain hands-on experience treating a variety of patients in a surgical setting. Oral surgeons are trained to administer anesthesia and sedation, including general anesthesia, and monitor patients throughout surgery. In addition to his dental degree, Dr. Galea took his expertise to the next level and obtained a medical degree as well. He is also a board-certified oral surgeon, which holds him to the highest standards of care by the prestigious American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS).
