Pham, Dr. Vincent F. Coviello, and Dr. Eric D. Starley each bring years of specialized surgical training to complex cases, and our office is currently welcoming new patients.

Specialty procedures often involve conditions that are harder to diagnose or treat than everyday dental issues. That's why board certification and hands-on surgical training matter so much. Our surgeons use advanced tools like 3D/CBCT imaging to plan procedures with precision, and they draw on techniques such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) when it can support healing.
Patients also tell us they feel calm and well cared for throughout treatment, from the first consultation through recovery. Our staff follow up personally after procedures to check on how you're healing, a small step that makes a real difference in how supported you feel during the process.
Below is a short overview of each specialty area we treat. If you know which service applies to you, select it for full details. If you're not sure, our team can help you figure it out during a consultation.
Unusual growths, sores, or lesions in the mouth can be concerning, and getting them checked by a surgeon trained in oral pathology brings clarity fast. We evaluate, diagnose, and treat a range of soft tissue and bone conditions inside the mouth and jaw. Visit our Oral Pathology page to learn more about what a pathology evaluation involves.
For patients dealing with disrupted sleep and breathing issues, surgical options can help when other treatments haven't worked. Our sleep apnea treatment options are designed to address the anatomy behind airway obstruction, not just the symptoms. Learn more about your options on our Sleep Apnea page.
As an added service alongside our surgical care, we also offer Botox and Juvederm for patients interested in facial rejuvenation. These treatments are administered by our clinical team with the same attention to safety and precision we bring to every procedure. Details are available on our Cosmetic (Botox/Juvederm) page.

Many patients come to us through a referral from their general dentist or physician, but a referral is not required. You can contact our office directly about a consultation for oral pathology, sleep apnea treatment, or cosmetic procedures.
Coverage depends on the specific procedure and your individual plan. Oral pathology and sleep apnea treatment are sometimes covered by medical insurance, while cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. Our team can help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
Your consultation includes a thorough exam, a review of your health history, and a conversation about your symptoms or goals. Our surgeons will explain your options in plain language and answer any questions before recommending a treatment plan.
