Oral Cancer and Conditions West Palm Beach & Jupiter, FL

Oral cancer can develop in any area of the mouth or throat, requiring timely diagnosis and intervention. At CRJ Institute, we begin with an in-depth evaluation, including advanced imaging and biopsies, to accurately determine the presence and extent of malignancy. We then focus exclusively on surgical intervention through our Comprehensive Reconstruction of the Jaw (CRJ) procedure—removing diseased tissues and reconstructing the jaw to restore both function and appearance. While we do not provide chemotherapy or radiation therapy, our approach ensures targeted surgical care that protects quality of life, promotes recovery, and delivers a transformative outcome for each patient.

Trauma from accidents or previous surgeries can lead to facial and jaw deformities that impact both function and appearance. At CRJ Institute, our specialists employ a combination of microsurgical techniques, bone grafting, and patient-specific implants through our Comprehensive Reconstruction of the Jaw procedure to correct post-traumatic deformities. We prioritize restoring proper bite alignment, facial symmetry, and overall comfort, ensuring each patient regains confidence and vitality. Whether linked to oral cancer treatments or severe injuries, our multidisciplinary team crafts a customized pathway back to normalcy.

While external radiation therapy is often used elsewhere for certain head and neck cancers, it can compromise the jaw’s blood supply and lead to osteoradionecrosis. At CRJ Institute, we treat this condition through our Comprehensive Reconstruction of the Jaw (CRJ) procedure. We utilize head and neck microvascular surgery in West Palm Beach or Jupiter to thoroughly address the effects of ORN. By debriding necrotic tissue, employing regenerative bone grafts, and restoring function, we help patients regain a more comfortable, confident life after radiation’s effects.

Certain medications—particularly bisphosphonates and anti-resorptive drugs—can predispose patients to osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), resulting in delayed healing, pain, or infection. At CRJ Institute, we address MRONJ exclusively through our Comprehensive Reconstruction of the Jaw (CRJ) procedure. This meticulous surgical approach involves, when appropriate, discontinuing offending medications under physician supervision, debriding necrotic bone, and reconstructing the jaw to restore both function and confidence. By focusing on a single, well-coordinated treatment plan, we minimize complications and guide patients toward renewed oral health and comfort.

Noncancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) growths can develop in the jaw, sometimes without obvious symptoms. CRJ Institute is equipped to diagnose and manage these conditions through imaging, biopsy, and precise surgical intervention. In some cases, reconstruction or rehabilitation is required to maintain or restore normal jaw function and facial aesthetics. Whether you are dealing with a benign lesion or a more complex malignant process, our team provides streamlined, compassionate care focused on optimal outcomes.
