What Are the Benefits of Choosing a Board-Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon?

Board certification signals that your surgeon has voluntarily submitted to peer evaluation and exceeded minimum standards. It demonstrates dedication to the specialty, mastery of complex surgical techniques, a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy, and commitment to patient safety.

  • Met rigorous standards: A board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon has completed rigorous written and oral examinations administered by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, demonstrating comprehensive knowledge and clinical competency that exceeds basic licensure requirements.
  • Advanced training: Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete at least four years of undergraduate education, four years of dental school, and four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency training alongside medical residents in specialties like anesthesiology, general surgery, and emergency medicine.
  • Research & publications: Our surgeons have completed research in areas like cell and molecular biology & wound-healing research and hard and soft tissue grafting procedures necessary for oral reconstruction and rehabilitation, meaning they are not only among the highest-trained professionals available, but they are actively contributing to the ongoing advancements of the field.
  • Minimized risk of complications: The extensive medical training oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive prepares them to manage medical emergencies and complications during surgery. Additionally, they are the most highly trained providers in the field, meaning their experience provides a level of safety and consistency that only comes from years of rigorous dedication.
  • Improved results: Because of the level of training and expertise, the aesthetic and functional outcomes that board-certified oral surgeons at Hill Country Oral Surgery provide are superior in both quality and comfort.

Why Do Patients Need an Oral Surgeon and a General Dentist?

Complex surgical treatments are far beyond the scope of training that a general dentist receives. A general dentist and an oral surgeon working in harmony can provide cohesive, complex care that addresses more advanced reconstructive needs. For instance, you will continue to see your general dentist for regular, routine care. However, when you need advanced or complex care to restore the function of your jaw and oral tissues, you will need an oral surgeon.
