Innova Dental Implant Institute Outlines Which Cases Require an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

BRUNSWICK, GA, March 27, 2026. When patients face impacted wisdom teeth, significant bone loss in the jaw, failing teeth that require full-arch reconstruction, or conditions involving the jaw and surrounding facial structures, those cases require oral and maxillofacial surgical evaluation. This level of care sits outside the scope of a general dental appointment. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons train specifically to assess and treat these cases, which involve surgical planning, bone evaluation, and procedures tied to jaw anatomy and facial bone structure. Innova Dental Implant Institute in Brunswick, Georgia, is raising awareness about this distinction so that patients across Coastal Georgia understand when a surgical specialist is the right starting point.
The practice operates under Dr. Dexter Mattox, DMD, MD, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who holds both a dental degree and a medical degree. That dual training covers the full scope of jaw anatomy, facial bone structure, surgical medicine, and implant placement, and it forms the clinical foundation for how Innova approaches each complex case.
The surgical scope at Innova covers dental implants for single and multiple missing teeth, All-on-X full-arch restorations, wisdom teeth removal, including impacted third molar cases, bone grafting, sinus lifts, ridge preservation, and oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, including biopsy and pathology evaluation. Each of these services requires a treatment plan built on a thorough assessment of the patient's bone structure, nerve positions, and jaw anatomy.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging plays a central role in that assessment. The 3D scan gives the surgical team a detailed view of bone quality and density, nerve channels, sinus structure, and jaw anatomy before any procedure begins. This diagnostic data allows the oral surgeon to build a surgical plan specific to each patient's anatomy.
