Israel was shocked when doctors discovered a tumor in his jaw that required complex surgery. That’s when UC Davis Health stepped in to provide a novel jaw restoration procedure.
During a routine dentist appointment, 14-year-old Israel Lomat learned that not only did he need his wisdom teeth removed, but his x-ray also revealed a tumor in his jawbone. While the tumor was benign, it was destroying his bone and required removal. Thanks to a novel jaw restoration procedure at UC Davis Health, Lomat had his jaw and teeth restored and returned to school just a few months later.
