Your First Visit
We know that coming in for the first time, especially for oral surgery, can bring up a lot of questions. Our goal for your first visit is to help you feel informed, comfortable, and genuinely heard. From the moment you arrive, our team is focused on making the experience as smooth as possible.
Schedule a ConsultationWhat to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is setup like a conversation — it’s an opportunity for you to get to know your surgeon, and for them to learn about your concerns, review your health history, and take a look at what’s going on. We welcome your questions, and you’ll have plenty of time to ask whatever is on your mind.
The visit typically includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or 3D scans if needed to get a complete picture. By the end of your appointment, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your situation and an honest recommendation for the next steps.
The Team You’ll Meet
Tyler Oral Facial Surgery is home to a group of board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons with a wide range of specialized training and expertise. Our surgeons are trained in both medicine and dentistry, which means they bring a comprehensive understanding of the face, jaw, and oral structures to every evaluation.
Whatever brings you in — dental implants, jaw surgery, a cosmetic concern, or if you’re just looking for a second opinion — you’ll be seen by a surgeon who has the clinical depth to give you a thoughtful assessment.
Your Comfort and Safety Come First
We want you to feel at ease every time you come to see us. Our offices are designed with your comfort in mind, and our team is trained to communicate clearly and calmly at every step. If you ever feel nervous about your visit — whether it’s your first time seeing an oral surgeon or you’ve had difficult experiences in the past — please let us know. We’ll do everything we can to make you feel settled before anything begins.
After Your Visit
Your surgeon will walk you through their findings with you and explain any recommended next steps. If they suggest a treatment, you’ll receive a personalized care plan with a clear explanation of what it involves, what to expect during recovery, and what the outcome is intended to achieve.
Our team stays involved well beyond your first appointment. Whether you have questions after you get home, need to prepare for a procedure, or are working through recovery, we’re just a phone call away.
We’re Ready When You Are
When you’re ready to take that first step, we’re ready to meet you there. Schedule your consultation today.
Schedule a ConsultationCommon Questions About Your First Visit
Plan to bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of any current medications. If you have recent X-rays or imaging from another provider, those are always helpful. Our team will send you any necessary intake forms ahead of time, so you’re not filling out paperwork in the waiting room.
Most consultations take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of your situation and whether imaging is needed. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you call to schedule so you can plan accordingly.
In most cases, no. Your first visit is focused on evaluation and conversation. Some straightforward situations may allow for same-day treatment, but that will always be discussed with you first.
