Oral Surgery Training and Expertise
Both Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto have undergone extensive, specialized training to become oral surgeons, a profession that combines dental expertise with surgical skills. After completing dental school, both doctors pursued rigorous oral and maxillofacial surgery residencies, where they gained hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating complex conditions of the mouth, jaw, and face.

Their experience has made them trusted providers for patients who require advanced surgical care in Wilmington and the surrounding areas.
Missing Teeth: Restoring Your Smile with Dental Implants
One of the most common reasons patients seek oral surgery is to replace missing teeth. When a tooth is lost due to injury, decay, or disease, it can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem, as well as their ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Dental implants are the most advanced and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, and Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto specialize in the placement of these durable and natural-looking restorations.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant is fully integrated into the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to restore the tooth’s appearance and function. This solution is permanent, stable, and helps maintain bone health, preventing the bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.
Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto are experts in placing dental implants, even in more complicated cases where bone density may be low or there has been significant bone loss. They have the knowledge and expertise to perform bone grafts or sinus lifts, which can help ensure the implant has a stable foundation, leading to long-lasting results and restored oral function.
Facial Trauma: Comprehensive Care for Injuries
Facial trauma is another area where Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto excel. Injuries to the face and jaw can be traumatic, not only because of the physical pain but also because of the potential long-term consequences for oral function and appearance. Whether from an accident, sports injury, or another cause, facial trauma can cause fractures, lacerations, or broken teeth that need immediate attention.
As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto have the training to treat these injuries promptly and effectively. They are highly skilled in performing surgical repair of facial fractures, including those affecting the cheekbones, jaw, and skull. Their expertise in facial anatomy allows them to restore both the appearance and functionality of the face, ensuring that patients can return to normal life as soon as possible.
In addition to bone fractures, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto treat soft tissue injuries such as lacerations to the lips, cheeks, and gums, performing careful suturing and providing follow-up care to ensure proper healing. Their ability to manage both the cosmetic and functional aspects of facial trauma makes them a trusted choice for patients needing immediate care.
Jaw Abnormalities: Correcting Misalignments for Better Function and Appearance
Jaw abnormalities, such as misalignment, can cause significant problems with speaking, eating, and even breathing. In some cases, the misalignment may be congenital, while in others, it may be caused by injury or disease. Regardless of the cause, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto offer advanced surgical solutions to correct jaw issues, improving both appearance and function.
One of the most common jaw surgeries they perform is orthognathic surgery, which is used to reposition the upper or lower jaw to correct issues such as an overbite, underbite, or open bite. These conditions can affect the bite, making it difficult to chew properly and potentially leading to discomfort in the jaw, teeth, or even headaches.
Orthognathic surgery not only improves the function of the jaw but also enhances facial aesthetics. By realigning the jaw, patients often experience a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance, which can boost their confidence and self-esteem. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, and Dr. Campbell and Dr. Rafetto carefully plan each procedure to ensure the best outcome for their patients.
