Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Patients who have been told they aren’t candidates for dental implants — often because of limited bone — still have excellent options at the Florida Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (FLOCOMS). Our Boca Raton practice combines advanced technology with a patient-centered approach to provide comfortable, predictable and long-lasting results.
“Our focus is finding solutions for patients who may feel like they’ve run out of options,” explains Alfredo Tendler, D.M.D., M.S. Dr. Tendler, along with his team of top board-certified surgeons — Jordan Shapiro, D.M.D. and Michael Theiss, D.D.S. — deliver personalized care guided by training from top medical institutions.
One of the practice’s specialties is zygomatic dental implants, ideal for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. “These implants anchor into the cheekbone, allowing us to place teeth even when traditional implants aren’t possible,” says Dr. Tendler. “Many patients can receive implants and new teeth the very next day.”
FLOCOMS uses state-of-the-art materials and the latest imaging technology to restore comfort, function and appearance. The surgeons also offer the full range of oral and maxillofacial services, including wisdom-teeth removal, corrective jaw surgery, TMJ surgery and facial trauma reconstruction.
For complex surgical cases, the team uses virtual surgical planning (VSP). “This technology lets us map out surgery with precise 3-D imaging,” explains Dr. Theiss. “It improves accuracy and helps us deliver predictable outcomes tailored to each patient.” Dr. Shapiro adds, “With this approach, we provide exceptionally consistent and reliable results.”
A key feature of FLOCOMS is its private, fully equipped operating room. This dedicated space allows the surgeons to provide general anesthesia safely and comfortably with an anesthesiologist. For patients without health insurance, this offers a more affordable alternative to hospital-based procedures while maintaining the highest level of safety.
By combining leading-edge technology, advanced training, and a compassionate environment, FLOCOMS provides a higher level of care for patients needing simple or complex oral and maxillofacial surgery.
