A dental implant is a popular tooth replacement option because it looks just like a natural tooth and restores functionality to your smile. Dental implants consist of three parts: a titanium implant, a connecting abutment, and a crown that is custom-made to match the color and size of your other teeth.
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, develop during the late teen or early adult years. The average mouth holds 28 adult teeth, and an additional four trying to squeeze in can cause issues. Dentists recommend that you have wisdom teeth extracted as early as possible. Many dentists refer patients to an oral surgeon, like Dr. Stefanuto, because of his specialized training and experience in removing wisdom teeth and administering anaesthesia.
Orthognathic surgery, commonly referred to as corrective jaw surgery, is performed by a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon to reposition the jaws. This procedure is ideal for patients who suffer from breathing, speaking, or eating problems, as well as other conditions. Jaw surgery requires delicate care and attention, and Dr. Stefanuto is a board-certified, dual degree specialist capable of providing exceptional care and results.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to recognize and treat a wide spectrum of ailments, defects, and injuries in the head, neck, face, jaws, and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. Dr. Stefanuto holds both a Medical and Dental Degree, which provides him with the expertise to treat a multitude of surgical problems from both a Physician's and Dentist's perspective.

Can't say enough great things about my experience at Apex. Everyone was amazing, from the receptionist to the nurses and doctors, all great people who are skilled at what they do! Setting up my consultation and appointment was a breeze, the doctor took the time to explain every step of the procedure, made sure I was aware of any possible concerns or complications, and took the time to answer any questions I had in detail. I really appreciated being so well informed on every little detail.
When the day of my wisdom tooth extraction came, again the whole process was a breeze, what a well organized

I had implant surgery on January 14th of 2022, yes its a long procedure from start to finish. But OMG Apex Surgical Centre and Dr. Stefanuto and his team is the absolute best place to go. From the 1st consult I had up until I had my implant procedure done I was treated with dignity and respect from everyone at Apex Surgical.
It's so refreshing to receive that level of care Dr.Stefanuto just puts your mind at ease. He takes time to explain anything and everything to you in great detail. The front reception staff and the rest of his nurses are just so damn good espcially Diane.

First ever surgical experience- they were extremely professional, made sure I knew exactly what was happening at all times, very friendly and upbeat staff. My surgeon called me at home for check-ins after my surgery to see how I was healing as well. Above and beyond care, will be recommending to everyone.

Very clean building. Had a very positive experience, I had called many times leading up to my appointment with questions and every time I received an informative and helpful response. I appreciated the check up phone call after my surgery to ensure that I was healing and feeling okay. I would absolutely recommend this practice!

5☆ over and over again! Dr. Stefanuto along with his entire team at Apex Surgical Center were amazing. I waited in agony for a week after I got a referral to see another local Dentist to have my wisdom teeth removed while suffering from a bacterial infection along with it. Didn't even know I could reach out to other places myself. Luckily my Aunt gave them a call on Friday, and told them my story. After talking to his team at 11am, they got me in at 2pm for a consult and xrays, then right in to have all 4 removed. Even took the time to go over some other things he noticed on my xrays. His expert

Very friendly and professional staff with a rather pleasant facility. Were always amicable and accommodating both behind the front desk and in the surgery room. I have no complaints whatsoever and appreciate that the surgery for my wisdom teeth was both quick and well done. Check these guys out if you need to and haven't already.
