What are your hours?

Our hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Each office has a half day they are closed, however, someone is always available.

We have someone covering patient concerns and the local emergency rooms for trauma 24 hours/day.

How soon can I be seen?

Most patients can be seen quickly, meaning within a couple of weeks. If, however, you are in pain, we will make arrangements to see you that day.

Do I need a referral from my dentist?

You do not need a referral from your dentist to be seen. However, we like to provide comprehensive dental and medical care to patients; therfore, it is always ideal to have a treatment plan designed by your dentist. Many times a tooth can be saved. This can be determined best by a general dentist.

Do all Wisdom teeth need to be removed?

The quick answer is NO. However, unless they are able to be brushed and cleaned like any other tooth, they should be removed. There is a lot of recent research out dictating why they should or not come out.

The ideal decision is to have these evaluated by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. We can tell you the pros and cons of keeping them.
