Anesthesia: To insure patient comfort, several different anesthetic options are offered. Patients may choose local anesthesia ("Novocaine"), nitrous oxide sedation ("gas"), or general anesthesia ("going to sleep"). Only the most modern anesthesia and monitoring techniques are used. Our goal is always patient safety. Patients with health problems and those taking medications should always discuss this with the doctor before making any final decisions on which type of anesthesia they request. Dr. Hoffrichter and his staff have comprehensive training in the treatment of any anesthetic emergency that may arise. Click here for more information.

Maxillofacial Pathology: Any growths of the mouth, jaws, neck or face must be evaluated immediately. While most "lumps and bumps" carry a favorable prognosis, early detection and treatment of oral cancer, when present, strongly increases the likelihood of patient survival.

Corrective Jaw Surgery: Also called orthognathic surgery, this can help move poorly aligned jaws into a more functional position, correct malocclusions, and give the face a more harmonious relation to the jaws and teeth. A team approach is used, consisting of the oral surgeon, the orthodontist, the general dentist, and the patient, to ensure the best result for the patient. Click here for more information.
