Our oral surgeon and team practice nerve repositioning surgery in Walnut Creek, California. This procedure involves moving the alveolar nerve in the lower lip and chin to make room for dental implants. Since this can cause numbness in the lower lip and jaw area, other surgical options are usually considered first. If you have questions regarding whether this procedure is the right call for you, call Dr. Ali Alijanian at 925-934-7888 to schedule a consultation!
