X-rays
A full jaw (Panoramic) X-ray is
usually required for Oral Surgery. If your dentist has taken one within
the last six months, you may save yourself this additional fee by
picking up that film from the dentist’s office before your appointment.
Small intraoral dental x-rays are often inadequate for surgical
treatment planning.
Hospital
Affiliations

at the Somerset Hospital.

Pre-op Preparation

in-office anesthesia, you must fast for 8 hours and be accompanied by a
