ORAL SURGERY ASSOCIATES OF
NORTH TEXAS
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
For most, the prospect of having oral surgery can be overwhelming. That’s because
oral surgeries are, most often, serious procedures—the very reason you need
and deserve an experienced oral surgeon. The four Best Dentists at Oral Surgery
Associates of North Texas are board-certified oral surgeons with years of training
and experience in all aspects of oral surgery. This includes dental implant surgery,
wisdom tooth removal, corrective jaw surgery, popular “Teeth in a Day,” rebuilding
bone structure, and the diagnosis and treatment of facial injuries, and fractures.
This is all achieved with specialized surgical intervention and optimal patient
comfort. With four specialists in four locations, patients throughout the Dallas area
have a convenient and accessible choice for state-of-the-art care.
As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, they are members of the only recognized
dental specialty that can hold a level 4 anesthesia permit. This means all procedures
are safely performed in-office at the highest level of comfort. All staff members are
required to have the highest level of certification and can assist with intravenous
sedation or outpatient general anesthesia. Oral Surgery Associates of North Texas is
passionate about educating patients about the difference between oral surgeons and
general dentists. While most dentists can do many of these procedures, it doesn’t
necessarily mean they should. Oral Surgery Associates of North Texas’ facilities are
specifically designed for more complex procedures, and patients receive the utmost
in care from board certified specialists. Before every procedure, patients receive a
thorough consultation to prepare for the best outcome.
Each surgeon is a Diplomat of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery and completed a residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Baylor
University Medical Center in Dallas. While experience and technology certainly
set this practice apart, it’s the superior and personalized patient care that is truly
a hallmark of OSANT. Patients feel like members of the family and often say they
leave the office with a different outlook about oral surgery. Also, with four surgeons,
patients can rest easy at home, knowing someone is always on call for them 24/7.
Outside of the practice, the surgeons are heavily involved with their families,
community, and personal hobbies. Patients often feel compelled to share their
positive experience with friends and family and know they’ve connected with
people who truly care about their health and well-being.
