Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Grady

As a regional center for the treatment of oral and maxillofacial disorders for adult and pediatric patients, faculty surgeons of Emory's Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provide clinical services at various facilities in the Atlanta area, one of which is the Oral Surgery Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Overview

Emory faculty surgeons in the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery also treat facial and craniofacial trauma at Grady's Level I trauma center. "Grady provides a truly unique experience in the volume and severity of facial trauma that cannot be found in many Level I trauma centers in the country," says Dr. Bouloux.

Additionally, Emory oral and maxillofacial surgeons provide surgical services at Grady's oral and maxillofacial surgery outpatient clinic, including temporomandibular joint surgery, oral pathology (cysts/tumors), treatment of dental infections, jaw reconstruction, general anesthesia (for wisdom teeth), and single and multiple tooth extractions.

Division Chief Gary Bouloux

Dr. Gary Bouloux joined the Emory Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2006 as director of the OMFS residency and now serves as the division chief. His primary research evolves from his interest in TMJ dysfunction and includes surgical outcomes, psychological predictors of outcomes, laser-assisted surgical arthroscopy, and the use of hyaluronic acid.
