Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Business Cards for Specialty Dental Practice

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS) are the dental specialists who perform the most complex and extensive surgical procedures of the head and neck — dental implants, wisdom tooth extractions, orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery, facial trauma reconstruction, facial pathology diagnosis and treatment, cleft palate surgery, and more. Most OMS are dually-degreed (DDS/DMD and MD) and complete 4-6 years of hospital-based surgical residency.
