Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery requires up to 6 additional years of hospital based surgical and anesthesia training. As an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Dr. Ettinger manages a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. Dr. Ettinger practices oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise in dental implantology, recondstructive surgery, and dentoalveolar surgery. Dr. Ettingers staff is trained in assisting with I.V. sedation within our state of the art office setting. Patients are continuously monitored during and after surgery. We also have a trained registered nurse (RN) to assist in administration of IV sedation. All staff are CPR certified. Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence. What are dental implants? The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth. Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. David B. Ettinger, MD, DMD earned his BA in chemistry from Binghamton University, his DMD degree from the University of PA School of Dental Medicine, and a MD from the Medical College of PA.
