The most common surgical
procedures performed are
the removal of wisdom teeth,
extraction of teeth due to
pathology or for orthodontic
therapy, and the placement
of dental implants.
Q
What takes place
for a patient during an
initial evaluation for
removal of wisdom
teeth?
During a consultation for
the evaluation of wisdom
teeth, the patient’s past
medical history and
current symptoms are
thoroughly reviewed. Next,
a physical and radiographic
examination is performed
to evaluate the teeth, jaws,
and surrounding structures.
Then, the different types of
anesthesia options (local,
nitrous oxide, or IV sedation)
are discussed that best suits
the patient’s needs. Lastly,
the risks and benefits are
explained in great detail to
the patient.
Q
What can be done to
ease a patient’s anxiety
regarding a surgical
procedure?
Anesthesia is a very
important aspect of oral
and maxillofacial surgical
training. Proper anesthesia
allows for stress and pain
management for the
patient during and after the
procedure. I was trained
extensively and administer
daily in-office intravenous
sedation. A discussion
regarding your options
to maximize comfort and
thorough health history will
be reviewed with you during
your initial consultation.
Q
What are you most
proud of regarding your
practice?
I am very fortunate to be
supported by a great staff.
Every staff member is
continually committed to
providing courteous, caring,
and timely service in a very
relaxed atmosphere. The
outstanding success rates of
our surgical procedures are
mainly due to a great team
and a 1st Class facility.
