Welcome New Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Patients!
What to expect during your first visit
Expect a clean, professional office with only you in mind when you are in the chair. Your initial appointment may consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options, or surgery performed the same day as the consultation. A complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
If you are having IV Sedation please have nothing to eat or drink for 8 hours prior to your surgery. You will also need a responsible adult to drive you home. It is recommended that patients undergoing local anesthesia or local and nitrous have a 2 hour fasting period of clear liquids only prior to surgery.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at the appointment.

X-Rays
If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office. Some types of X-rays are not sufficient for oral surgery. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken ahead of time at our facility, or at your Dentists office.
