Our surgeons practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from corrective jaw surgery to wisdom tooth removal. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries and TMJ disorders, and perform a full range of dental implant and bone grafting procedures.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the only dental specialists recognized by the American Dental Association who are surgically trained in a hospital-based residency program for a minimum of four to six years.
The six year program allows the individual to obtain a medical degree (M.D.). These unique programs provides some of the most rigorous training in dental implantology and the latest advances in dental bone grafting techniques. Very few dental specialists obtain such extensive formal training in the management of dental implants.
They train alongside medical residents in internal medicine, general surgery and anesthesiology, and spend time in otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), plastic surgery, emergency medicine and other specialty areas. This training focuses almost completely on the bone, skin and muscle of the face, mouth and jaw.
Dr. Bachoura received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Southern California and went on to University of Southern California School of Dentistry, where he received his DDS in 2003. Dr. Bachoura completed his medical schooling at the University of Texas Houston Medical School in 2007 and did an internship in General Surgery in Medicine. He also completed a four-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at the same institution. In addition to Dr. Bachouras extensive training, he completed the USMLE program, Steps 1, 2 and 3.
He is an instructor in the Advanced Cardio Life Support System. He is certified in Basic Life Support and a provisional member of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. He is also a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), Texas Dental Association (TDA), Greater Houston Dental Society and Houston Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. He is also Board Certified with the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
After four years of postgraduate dental education, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon completes four or more years of intensive, postdoctoral, hospital-based surgical residency training. Oral and Maxillofacial surgery residents spend significant time rotating through related medical fields such as internal medicine, general surgery, anesthesiology, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and emergency medicine.
Dr. Bachouras interests include skiing, hiking, running and music. He participates in high performance driving and enjoys restoring old vehicles. He has run and completed the Houston marathon from 2004 to 2009.
Dr. Andrew Michael attended the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, CA where he received his dental degree, becoming a second-generation dentist. He then continued his education by earning his medical degree and completing his post graduate residency training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, which is one of the most diverse programs in the country.
Dr Michael is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, a Fellow of the American Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, and a member of the American College of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery,Texas Dental Association, and the Greater Houston Dental Society.

The best place I could've gone to for my wisdom teeth removal. I started having pain due to one tooth being impacted and they got me in for consultation the next day and surgery for all four teeth the same week. The doctors and nurses were amazing. They could tell I was anxious and took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I would recommend them to anyone!

(Translated by Google) Excellent experience, everyone very friendly and attentive to anything. Yesterday I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed and I was very nervous because they had never given me general anesthesia, but everything was super fast and good. I recommend them 100% (Original) Excelente experiencia, todos muy amables y atentos a cualquier cosa .

Dr. Bachoura was quick, friendly and attentive. I had a broken molar which my regular dentist was not going to be able to attend to for the better part of a month. Luckily I was able to find an appointment within the week & had a better time of life the following weekend. Thank you, I appreciated your assistance.

If you need your wisdom teeth removed, this is the place to go. I was extremely nervous, but could barely eat with how bad the pain was. Everyone was super sweet and let you know everything beforehand. Afterwards, they were really great as well and even give you a little aftercare bag. 100% would go here again if I had more wisdom teeth.
