About Us
Citadel Oral & Facial Surgery is a team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Marco Chiarot and Dr. Joel Powell. Our specialty covers the diagnosis, surgical and medical treatment of diseases, injuries and defects of the mouth and facial region. Both functional and cosmetic aspects are addressed and patients of all ages are treated.
Rehabilitative procedures correct the results of birth defects, accidents, tumours, cancer, facial pain, malfunction of the jaw joints, sleep disorders, missing teeth and impacted teeth. The effects of aging on the face, including premature aging, can also be addressed.
At our disposal is the superb diagnostic, surgical and anaesthesia monitoring technology. In our state-of-the-art facilities, Citadels’ highly trained staff assists with a large range of procedures involving Local Anaesthesia (“freezing”) and Intravenous Conscious Sedation (“twilight sleep”). Patients are continuously monitored during and after surgery to ensure optimal safety. In addition, General Anaesthesia (being put “completely to sleep”) is available and provided by board certified anaesthesiologists at our East Coast MediCenter facility, which is fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialty of dentistry that requires up to six additional years of formal hospital-based surgical, medical and anaesthesia training following completion of dental school. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, we are uniquely qualified to treat a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth, jaws and face. Both Drs. Chiarot and Powell have done the 6-year training program, including a medical degree (MD) and completed even further fellowship training.
