Does seeing an oral and maxillofacial surgeon cost more than seeing your general dentist? While some procedures may be more expensive, the expertise of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon leads to safer procedures, fewer complications, and better long-term outcomes. Most insurance plans cover medically necessary treatments, and our team will work with you to make care more accessible. When it comes to complex surgical needs, choosing Dr. Joseph means achieving the best possible outcomes for your health and smile.

Here's how dental implants work. Think of them as a strong foundation for your new smile. A tiny titanium post is placed in the jawbone, where it fuses naturally and acts like a tooth root. Then a custom crown is added, providing a secure, natural-looking replacement that feels just like your own teeth.

When’s the right time to schedule a wisdom tooth consultation for your teen? Early screening is key.

You should schedule their consultation, ideally by the age of 16 or 17, to identify potential issues, even if their wisdom teeth aren't causing symptoms yet. At Ascension Oral Surgery, Dr. Joseph can use digital imaging to see how wisdom teeth are forming, whether there’s enough room for them, and if they’re growing in the right direction. Spotting potential problems early helps prevent issues like crowding, damage to other teeth, cysts, or infections. Schedule your teen's wisdom teeth consultation: 225-744-2660
