Will I be charged if I need to cancel an appointment?

Yes, you will be charged $100 if you cancel an appointment without giving us 24-hour notice.

What do I do if I have an emergency when the oral surgery office is closed?

We understand dental emergencies happen. One of our excellent team members is accessible for emergencies 24 hours a day. Call our oral surgery office number to hear the emergency number you need to call, and we will get back to you right away.

My child has had an accident and their tooth has been entirely knocked out. What should I do?

Contact the doctor's office immediately. If this occurs during off-hours, go to the ER and call first thing the following morning for an emergency appointment. If possible, place your child's tooth in a cup of milk as the calico from the milk will continue nourishing the tooth. There is a chance we may be able to restore your child's tooth.

What precautions do you take to ensure patient safety?

Our team attends regular continuing education on the topics of infection control, sterilization technique, aseptic technique and patient safety. As safety is our primary concern, our team goes above and beyond what is required by law. All clinical team members are ACLS certified (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) in addition to being certified in Basic Life Support. The sterilization of instruments is carried out in a careful manner, all instruments bagged and sealed until used. The oral surgery office is kept clean and disinfected at all times.

Patient safety is extremely important. It is, in fact, the most important thing that we do. All patients' health histories are carefully reviewed and discussed. Medications lists and allergies are taken into consideration. Patients are monitored carefully using state of the art equipment before, during and after anesthesia. Records are kept meticulously. Treatment is reviewed with the patient in detail before beginning. Everything that we do in our Dallas oral surgery office comes down to the primary purpose which is to provide SAFE and EFFECTIVE surgical care.

What makes you different from any other oral and maxillofacial surgery offices I can visit?

Texas Wisdom Teeth and Dental Implants has more than 20 years of experience in oral surgery. But we think our oral surgery office is a unique experience because of our attitude with you. We make you feel special and we strive to create an environment that is soothing, calming and relaxing; you might even forget why you're here!

I really don't like visiting the dentist. Is there anything you can do to help me relax?

We are here to make your experience as stress-free as possible. You will never feel rushed or herded, but instead will have individualized care. For many people who are apprehensive, we recommend general anesthesia as this allows them to go to sleep, waking up when the procedure is complete. We also provide nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas, that allows you to stay awake during the procedure, but in a very relaxed state.
