Technology in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Alaska Center For Oral + Facial Surgery
Alaska's Only AAAHC Accredited Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Practice
At Alaska Center For Oral + Facial Surgery, we utilize the newest and most advanced technology available for exemplary patient evaluation and treatment. We utilize a CT scanner in our office that provides excellent three-dimensional analysis for treatment planning for dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea surgery, and pathology or trauma treatment.
This technology also allows us to provide high-grade imaging at a fraction of the cost and radiation dose that would previously have to be done in a hospital or imaging center. When appropriate, we will also utilize our imaging system to virtually plan implant surgery, corrective jaw surgery, and correction of facial deformities. This results in more accurate surgery and shorter operation times, resulting in improved surgical outcomes and post-operative course.
Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery At AOFS
Dr. Nordstrom’s surgical training at Legacy Emanuel Hospital was one of the three original development sites at the time for virtual surgical planning. Shortly after this development, it spread nationally and is now widely accepted. In addition to this, Dr. Nordstrom has trained and continues to operate with one of the developers of one of the most advanced protocols for surgical planning. All of this has resulted in Dr. Nordstrom having early and extensive training in the area of virtual surgical planning for the correction of facial deformities and improving the lives of his patients.
State-of-the-Art Imaging for Precision
We prioritize advanced imaging to enhance patient outcomes during oral surgery. Our in-office CT scanner provides exceptional three-dimensional imaging for accurate treatment planning. This technology allows us to conduct thorough evaluations for procedures such as maxillary advancement and the correction of dentofacial deformities. By utilizing high-grade imaging, we can minimize the costs and reduce radiation exposure when compared to traditional hospital settings. This efficient approach not only ensures the precision of our surgical plans but also streamlines the overall patient experience.
Virtual Surgical Planning for Enhanced Accuracy
Our practice harnesses the power of virtual surgical planning to elevate patient care in oral and maxillofacial surgery. By integrating sophisticated software, we meticulously plan each procedure in advance, including facial reconstruction surgery. This advanced methodology aids in simulating surgical outcomes and facilitates the effective management of complex cases. Benefits of virtual surgical planning include:
Enhanced accuracy in surgical execution
Decreased operation times
Improved post-operative recovery for patients
These innovations position us at the forefront of oral surgery, allowing us to provide the best possible care for our patients.
