Pre-Surgical Evaluation
ORAL EXAMINATION
With an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth, Our Surgeons can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if there are present or future potential problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid-teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist, or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
All outpatient surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia to maximize patient comfort. Oral Surgeons are trained, licensed, and highly experienced in providing various types of anesthesia for patients.
