What procedures can an oral surgeon perform?
Treatments Like Wisdom Tooth Removal Can Protect Your Oral Health
Our team uses advanced technology to improve your treatment...
State-of-the-Art Treatment in a Comfortable Atmosphere
At our Orem office, we use a cone beam computed tomography (CT) scanner to create a three-dimensional rendering of your jaw. While planning your treatment, Dr. Burton and Dr. Rasmussen can place a dental implant into the digital version of your jaw to ensure the optimal placement. This system also allows us to more carefully plan wisdom teeth removal and other oral surgery procedures.
