Oral Surgery | Wisdom Teeth | Dental Implants

Welcome to the Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery! We are pleased that you have decided to choose us with your oral surgery needs. We offer a variety of oral surgery procedures including:

• Jaw & Oral Surgery
• Wisdom Teeth Extraction
• Dental Implants
• Bone Grafting
• 3D Imaging
• Facial Trauma
• Anesthesia

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, Thomas H. Simpson Jr, DMD, MD, Marjorie J. Risser, DMD, Mark T. Billman, DMD, MD or Rhonda G. Carter, DDS, practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from corrective jaw surgery to wisdom tooth removal. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries and TMJ disorders, and perform a full range of dental implant and bone grafting procedures.

Drs. Simpson, Risser, Billman or Carter’s staff are trained in assisting with I.V. sedation within our state of the art office setting.

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan may require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

• Your surgical referral slip and any x-rays if applicable.
• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.

A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink eight hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medications (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary they can be taken at our facility.
