Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires up to 6 additional years of hospital based surgical and anesthesia training. Our surgeons practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from cosmetic facial surgery to corrective jaw surgery and wisdom tooth removal. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries and TMJ disorders, sleep apnea and perform a full range of dental implant procedures.
Our surgical staff, including surgical and dental assistants, RNs and LPNs, are trained and experienced in all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures.
Our Registered Nurses have ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) certification and all surgical staff members are BLS (Basic Life Support) certified. A minimum of one staff member per each office location and many of our surgeons are PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) certified.
We are proud to have reaccreditatin for the maximum three years from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) for our practice. We are the only oral maxillofacial surgical practice in Nebraska one of only two in Iowa to have received this accreditation. This accreditation reflects confidence from AAAHC that our practice demonstrates the attributes the AAAHC has determined to be essential for high-quality patient care.
Our patient's care is our top priority. We continuously monitor our patients during and after surgery to ensure safety and comfort. In addition, general anesthesia provied by a certified nurse anesthetist is also available.
Please call the office you will be visiting to schedule your appointment. We will schedule your appointment as promptly as possible. If you have an emergency situation, every attempt will be made to see you that day or we will direct you to the nearest emergency facility.
We make it a priority to stay on schedule and minimize your wait time. Due to the fact that Oral & Facial Plastic Surgery provides surgical services, various circumstances may lengthen the time allocated for a procedure. Emergency cases can also arise and cause delays. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
Please call with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
