We love a cute manicure, but when IV Sedation is involved, your nails can be more than just a style detail.

During sedation, we use a pulse oximeter to monitor the oxygen level in your bloodstream. That monitor sits on your finger and reads through the nail plate, which means gel polish, acrylics, extensions, nail polish, or thick nail art can sometimes get in the way of a clear reading.

🚨 And that reading matters. If we can’t get a reliable pulse ox reading, we may not be able to safely proceed with IV Sedation as planned. That could mean adjusting your Anesthesia plan, doing the procedure awake, or rescheduling altogether.

So yes, we love seeing your nail art. But before Oral Surgery, especially if Sedation is part of your plan, we may need a few nails bare for safety.

Feeling nervous before an Oral Surgery procedure is completely normal.

Sometimes the hardest part is not the procedure itself, but the questions that keep running through your mind before you even get here. What will it feel like? How long will it take? What happens after? Will I be comfortable?

Those worries are valid, and you do not have to keep them to yourself.

Your consultation is the right time to ask questions, talk through your concerns, and let your Oral Surgeon know what is making you anxious. The more we understand what you’re worried about, the better we can explain what to expect and tailor your care to your comfort.

At our practice, your treatment plan is not one-size-fits-all. Your procedure, anesthesia options, recovery guidance, and overall experience are all planned with you in mindβ€”anxiety included.

🦷 Clear answers can make the unknown feel a lot less overwhelming. Call our number below so we can walk you through your procedure.

Who knew Dr. Wolf and Dr. VanOven were best buddies before they were AOMS colleagues?

Their story started back in residency, where they met, trained together, and built the kind of friendship that made working together later feel like a natural fit.

Now, they get to do what they love side by side: caring for patients, practicing Oral Surgery, and bringing years of friendship, trust, and teamwork into the same practice.

Working with your best buddy? Pretty good career plot twist.

There are a lot of reasons our doctors love being Oral Surgeons.

They love helping patients through stressful moments, treating urgent needs with confidence and care, restoring function, and making procedures that feel intimidating become much more manageable.

But the best part is seeing what that care gives back to the patient.

It’s helping someone get out of pain. Helping them feel comfortable after walking in anxious. Helping them return to normal function and feel like themselves again.

And when a patient who came in scared leaves with a huge smile on their face? That part never gets old.

That is what makes the work so rewarding.

Oral Surgery procedures we love doing? Yes, we definitely have our favorites! πŸ˜‰

At the top of the list of procedures are preventative Wisdom Tooth Removal, Impacted Tooth Extractions, and All-on-4 Dental Implants.

But the reason we love these procedures goes beyond the procedure itself.

The most fulfilling part is seeing what happens after: a patient feeling relief, gaining comfort, restoring function, or smiling with confidence again.

For us, Oral Surgery is not just about doing the job. It’s about helping patients feel better, heal well, and leave with a smile.

When your teeth have been stressing you out for years, it can be tempting to think, β€œCan we just take them all out and start over?”

We hear this more often than you might think. And while Dentures and Dental Implants can be great solutions for the right patient, they are not the same as healthy natural teeth.

Natural teeth that are in good condition and well cared for are worth preserving whenever possible. They support chewing, function, comfort, and flexibility in a way that replacements cannot always fully recreate.

So yes, replacing teeth may be part of the right plan for some patients. But the first step is understanding what can be saved, what should be treated, and what option truly supports your long-term health and quality of life.

When you expect Oral Surgery anxiety to be an 8, but the right care helps it feel more like a 4.

For this patient, feeling prepared made all the difference. Dr. Moorhead took time to explain what would happen, answer concerns, and create a plan that helped the experience feel more manageable from the start.

With a calm approach, and reassurance throughout the process, the procedure felt quicker and less overwhelming than expected, with care going beyond the procedure hours.

We’re so grateful for this patient’s trust and kind words. Helping patients feel informed, comfortable, and supported is always at the heart of what we do.

Stocking up for Post-Oral Surgery recovery? This might be your valid excuse to hoard ice cream. 🍦

Your recovery menu does not have to be just Jell-O and applesauce.

We asked the AOMS team for their go-to comfort picks after Oral Surgery, and the top answers are: ice cream and smoothies! They’re soft, cold, easy to enjoy, and exactly the kind of comfort your mouth might appreciate while it’s healing.

⚠️ Important smoothie note: skip the straw! Sip from a cup or use a spoon, especially if your post-op instructions say to avoid suction while healing.

🍨 Are you team ice cream or team smoothie? Save this for recovery week and follow along at Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for more Oral Surgery tips!
