Dr. P. M. Schelkun Improves Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery With Video Imaging, Other Modern Techniques

Online, August 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Dr. Michael Schelkun, M.D., D.D.S. of The OMS Center, a leading oral and maxillofacial surgery center in Pennsylvania, is using advanced technologies to provide a higher level of surgical care to patients throughout the Delaware Valley.

According to Dr. Mike Schelkun, the use of computer video imaging and modern x-ray technology plays an invaluable role in enhancing the quality of care.

"Our team uses facial X-rays and digital imaging to actually show patients how their bite will improve and even how they may look post-surgery," he reports. "When a patient understands the entire surgical process and can see the benefits of the treatment, they not only feel more comfortable, but have the necessary insight to make the best possible decision when presented with treatment options."

Other modern techniques employed by The OMS Center include using rigid fixation over jaw wiring in order to speed the recovery process, as well as using bone grafts for dental implants.

Dr. Schelkun emphasizes that advanced medical knowledge also plays an important role in the quality of care provided by The OMS Center.

"All our doctors are highly trained in both medicine and dentistry," he explains. "They hold degrees from both American medical and dental institutions and are specially trained to provide fully-monitored general anesthesia."

"Furthermore, our Warminster, Richboro and Fort Washington facilities are the only oral surgery centers in eastern Pennsylvania accredited by the Joint Commission, which is the very same organization that hospitals are required to be accredited by. The facilities have now been accredited for more than 12 years. Our team's profound medical knowledge, coupled with our access to the latest surgical technologies, results in a higher level of expert surgical care," says Dr. Schelkun.
