Oral maxillofacial surgeons are dentists specializing in surgery of the mouth, face and jaws. Oral surgeons receive an extra four to seven years of hospital-based surgical and medical training, after dental school. They prepare themselves to do a wide range of procedures including all types of surgery
of the hard tissue (bones) and soft tissues of the face, mouth and neck. Dr. DeFelice practices a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with emphasis to dental implants (bone grafts/sinus lifts), wisdom teeth removal, teeth extraction, oral pathology, and select facial cosmetic procedures.

Dr. DeFelice can also diagnose and treat facial trauma and infections. Dr. DeFelice is trained, skilled and uniquely qualified to manage and treat facial trauma. He is on staff at Scottsdale Healthcare (Osborn), a level one trauma center, and delivers emergency room coverage for facial injuries, which include but are not limited to the following conditions: facial lacerations, intra oral lacerations, avulsed (knocked out) teeth, fractured facial bones (cheek, nose or eye socket) and fractured jaws (upper and lower jaw).
