What actually makes a difference in oral surgery? Years of doing it, sure. But also being willing to say "this needs a different approach" instead of applying the same solution to everything. That's what two decades teaches you.
I see wisdom teeth problems constantly. Some come out—impacted, crowded, causing pain. Straightforward extraction. But then you hit situations where the complexity changes things. The tooth's positioned poorly. Roots go deep. Patient's got health factors that make full extraction riskier than leaving it. That's when a coronectomy enters the picture—removing the crown while the roots stay put. Sounds counterintuitive until you understand it. Less tissue trauma. Faster healing. Sometimes the safer call.
Sedation varies too. Some people want to be out. Others want to be awake. IV sedation, nitrous, just local—we figure out what works for your specific situation instead of running everyone through the same protocol.
The team approach isn't a slogan. When you're in the chair, you're getting multiple perspectives on your situation. We look at imaging together. We talk through what we see. We solve for what's actually right for you, not what's most convenient for us.
Direct access is the game-changer. No referral needed. You call, you come in, you get evaluated by someone who can actually answer your questions. That clarity—knowing what's wrong and what it takes to fix it—changes how people approach the whole thing.
