Dr. Bowles’ passion and expertise in oral surgery (such as dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, and oral soft tissue grafting) also extends to facial cosmetics and facial surgery, including the repair of injuries sustained from Facial Trauma, Treatment of Cleft Lip and Palate Deformities, the Correction of Facial Deformities, Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy and Replacement Surgery. In 2011 Dr. Bowles developed the Texas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery as an outreach to those who need advanced oral and facial care. Dr. Bowles is active in mission trips to Central and South America with Smiles International & Healing the Children Foundations, in which he surgically corrects Cleft Lip and Palate deformities in countries that do not have access to specialized surgery. In 2014 he developed the Bowles Foundation, a charitable organization to help Texas children and adults receive surgical correction of their craniofacial deformities. Dr. Bowles was board certified in 2009 and is trained in all aspects of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.
