Oral Surgeons in Rock Hill, SC

The cost of wisdom teeth removal depends on factors including the number of teeth being removed, whether they’re impacted, and the type of anesthesia used. Insurance may cover part of the procedure if it’s medically necessary, though coverage varies by plan. At our Rock Hill office, we accept many insurance providers and can help you understand your benefits before treatment begins. Visit our insurance page for more information or schedule an appointment for a customized assessment.

Diagnosing TMJ disorders involves reviewing your medical and dental history, performing a physical examination of the jaw and surrounding muscles, and sometimes ordering imaging, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Our Rock Hill oral surgeons will evaluate your jaw’s range of motion, listen for clicking or popping sounds, and check for pain or tenderness to determine the cause and severity of your condition. Schedule an appointment for an evaluation.

The full dental implant process typically takes between 3 and 6 months, beginning with a consultation and implant placement, followed by a healing phase where the implant fuses with the jawbone (osseointegration). Once healed, a custom crown or restoration is placed for a natural-looking, long-lasting result. Timelines may vary depending on your individual needs, bone health, and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting are required.

In some cases, yes. If you have enough healthy bone in your jaw, a dental implant may be placed immediately after a tooth extraction. Same-day implants can reduce overall treatment time and help preserve your jawbone and smile aesthetics. At our Rock Hill office, your surgeon will evaluate whether you’re a candidate during your consultation.

Nitrous oxide is considered very safe and is one of the most common forms of sedation we use at our Rock Hill office. Some patients may experience mild side effects such as lightheadedness, nausea, or fatigue, but these typically fade quickly once the gas is stopped. Nitrous oxide isn’t recommended for everyone, including certain health conditions or during pregnancy, so our team will review your medical history to ensure it’s the right option for you.
