Background Information

Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires a minimum of four additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Drs. Mulder, Kintz or Dingman manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. The doctors at Oral Surgery Associates practice a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery. This also includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. We can also provide a range of anesthesia options from local anesthesia (commonly described as “Novocaine”) to intravenous conscious sedation and general anesthesia. 

Our staff is trained in assisting with Intravenous (IV) sedation or outpatient general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art office setting. Patients are continuously monitored both during and after surgery.
