Why You Should See a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is a graduate of an accredited dental school and has also completed a minimum of 4 years of training in an accredited hospital-based oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program. As a result of this extensive hospital-based training, our surgeons are well prepared to identify and diagnose within the scope of their specialty and administer sedation as appropriate, from local anesthesia to conscious IV sedation. Their hospital-based training gives them experience in airway management, endotracheal intubation, maintaining intravenous lines and the expert management of any complication and / or unexpected emergency that may occur during the sedation process.

Board Certification elevates our surgeons to the highest standard of care for their patients through a certification process that consists of testing their knowledge, experience and skills. Board Certification through the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery shows a commitment by the surgeon to provide the highest quality surgical care throughout every modality of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
