This includes the surgical removal of wisdom teeth and impacted teeth, placement of dental implants and treatment of jaw pathology such as cysts. They are both expert in treating facial skin lesions ranging from benign skin tags to complex melanoma cases, and are particularly skilled with facial plastic surgery reconstruction techniques to give patients the very best cosmetic outcomes. James and Ben are both highly experienced orthognathic (jaw deformity) surgeons, using contemporary planning and surgical techniques to deliver stable and consistent results and they enjoy working with orthodontists to provide excellent continuity of care for patients.
