Prospective Patients
The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery operates multiple clinics that perform different types of procedures, which are summarized below. We invite you to contact one of our clinics today!
Dentoalveolar Surgery
In our facility on the First Floor of the Dental Clinics Building at 707 Parnassus Avenue (Room D1201), we perform routine and complex dentoalveolar procedures including removal of teeth, including impacted and unerupted teeth. We also carry out associated surgery on the jaw bones.
Dental Implants
In our multidisciplinary implant facility on the First Floor of the Dental Clinic’s Building (Dental Implant Center - Room D1201) and in our Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC-www.aaahc.org) accredited facility, we carry out all aspects of implant insertion and restoration. This includes multidisciplinary implant planning, implant insertion as well as any associated gum or bone grafting, and planning for permanent restorations.
Hospital Surgery Clinic
For patients who may require hospitalization for a surgical procedure or have a medically-(rather than dentally) based problem, we have a hospital facility on the Seventh Floor of the Medical Sciences Building at 513 Parnassus Avenue (Room S738). Examples of treatment provided through the clinic include Oral pathology and cancer, orthognathic surgery, craniofacial surgery and temporomandibular surgery.
Orofacial Pain Clinic
For patients whose primary issue is pain around the face, particularly associated with jaw joints, we have a facility on the first floor within the Dental Clinics Building at 707 Parnassus Avenue (Room D1050).
Hospital Dentistry Facility
For those patients who for various reasons cannot have dentistry carried out in a dental office in the normal way, we do offer a service for carrying out general dentistry in hospital under general anesthesia. This service is normally available for patients with developmental problems or mental problems including dental phobias with verification from a physician. This facility does accept a number of insurance plans. The facility is located on the first floor of the Dental Clinics Building at 707 Parnassus Avenue (Room D1050).
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Facility at San Francisco General Hospital
For those who are residents of the City and County of San Francisco and who are eligible for treatment at San Francisco General Hospital, we have an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic that sees patients on a sliding scale of charges. The clinic is open on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and potential patients much first register with San Francisco General Hospital and will then be directed to the clinic.
