Jaw Surgery - Dallas, TX

Complete Function, Restored You

We See Life-Changing Results

Having an improper jaw position or a damaged jaw can significantly impact your life on a daily basis. If you’re experiencing constant jaw pain, a bite that doesn’t connect properly, have trouble eating or get frequent headaches, the problem may lie with your jaw position or muscles. If left untreated, patients typically experience conditions that worsen over time, gradually harming the jawbone and muscles. Dr. Howard Cooke, our board-certified oral surgeon, has the experience and training to help correct these concerns through orthognathic surgery or corrective jaw surgery in Dallas, TX.

Jaw surgery typically involves correcting problems in the bones of the jaw, along with realigning the teeth for a more harmonious and healthier fit. In some cases, we may even need to perform surgeries on the muscles of the mouth to allow for improved swallowing, speech or TMJ function. While jaw surgery is a more invasive procedure, the results are nothing short of life-changing. Patients are able to live a transformed life, going from a debilitating jaw to completely restored function without pain and with a more balanced facial shape.
