Patient Information

Background Information

Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires four additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school.  As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Drs. Cifelli and Szumita treat a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth, and facial region. They practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, with expertise ranging from wisdom tooth removal and implants to techniques designed to rebuild bone structure.  Our doctors can also treat  facial injuries, and fractures.  

We offer multiple  types of anesthesia including nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas”, oral sedation, and IV sedation.  Our staff is trained in assisting with Intravenous (IV) sedation  in our state-of-the-art office setting. The doctors undergo rigorous training in anesthesia during their rescidency. Patients are continuously monitored during and after surgery.
