All of our doctors are Board Certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and they all received up to an additional 6 years of hospital based surgical training to further their expertise and skills. As oral surgeons, our doctors specialize in wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, temporomandibular joint related problems (TMD), congenital oral defects, facial trauma, oral pathology and sleep apnea.
Our community has been through a great deal over the past few months and were all looking forward to returning to a more normal way of life. As some of you are aware, our offices have remained open throughout this ordeal to treat emergencies and help relieve the stress on our overloaded emergency rooms. We thank you for your confidence in us to keep you safe during this pandemic.
A primary goal of the COVID-19 restrictions placed on dental offices was to minimize exposure of the virus to doctors, patients, and staff by eliminating elective procedures and to preserve precious personal protective equipment (PPE) for those on the front lines of this epidemic. Now that we have been able to procure a sufficient supply of PPE and have had adequate time to implement safety protocols that exceed the state requirements, we are pleased to announce that we will slowly begin to increase our operations to handle cases we have currently delayed.
Infection control and patient safety has always been and will continue to be an utmost priority at our offices. For your health and safety, additional infection control procedures (both required by law and elected by us) have been implemented in our offices based on the recommendations by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

I cannot say even remotely enough regarding this staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was cared for. I have a history which leaves me very sensitive/nervous regarding dental visits of any kind, Dr. Alex was amazing along with his staff to insure I felt at ease every step of the way! If you need an Oral Surgeon, this location is not one you should miss an opportunity to visit!

Dr. Wilson was the best surgeon for getting my impacted wisdom teeth removed. He was very kind, understanding, and supportive despite my very high anxiety. He walked me through the whole procedure during our consultation, answered all my questions, and the surgery itself went very well. The other assistants in the room were super nice as well. Thank you all for helping me!

Dr. Alex was skillful, professional, personable and friendly. The extraction was as smooth as it could be. This was my fifth extraction over the years, and it was the best. I was thankful, but thought about what the next day would bring. The next day I forgot about it for a few hours, it was that smooth. Any pain was much less than I anticipated. Again - The best.

I recently had a difficult extraction with only local anesthetic. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Garrick Alex and his assistant April. As I said before it was a difficult extraction but I was talked through it the whole way and didn't feel the slightest bit of pain. I was set up nicely after the surgery and the recovery process was very smooth. I highly recommend this practice and especially Dr. Alex for anyone who is the slightest bit apprehensive about a procedure.

I was very anxious going into have a tooth extracted. But once I got there I was greeted by the receptionist who made me feel very comfortable walking into my appointment. Dr. Alex made me feel completely at ease with my tooth extraction. I didn't feel any pain at all! Dr. Alex made sure I was comfortable, went over my medical history, and gave me very good post op instructions! I would definitely recommend Dr. Alex to anyone needing a dental procedure!

Dr. Alex and his staff worked so efficiently and did an amazing job on my oral surgery. I had never had oral surgery before and the entire process felt comfortable and easy. With proper aftercare, detailed by his nurses my recovery went flawlessly. I am so happy with my experience, start to finish!

I recently visited Dr. Alex for the removal of wisdom teeth and was incredibly satisfied with the entire experience! ALL of the staff were amazing, the office was spotless, and Dr. Alex personified a perfect combination of competence and compassion. He was patient and fully explained everything, and along with the staff was just a genuine pleasure to be around. Getting teeth extracted is not really an exciting event--however they made everything great! I HIGHLY recommend them, you won't be disappointed. Thank you again Dr. Alex and the full team!!

Extraction went well, however have the most difficult time regarding billing. Their office has twice incorrectly submitted claims, as I am great coverage and had me pay out of pocket $1k+ without any prior notice directly coming out of anesthesia. Pretty shady practice on top of lack of effort to resolve.

Dr Wilson is a brilliant oral surgeon who has been one of my most trusted doctors for several years. I appreciate the integrity of his work which is always perfect, but I equally appreciate his kindness and empathy. Dr. Wilson is a rare doctor and a really good guy.

I was referred to Dr. Alex for a wisdom tooth extraction and could not have been more pleased! The office is spotless and everyone is super friendly. Dr. Alex and the staff did a great job, not only in terms of the actual procedure but also in having awesome bedside manner and putting an admittedly nervous patient at ease. Recovery was also a breeze thanks to the thorough aftercare instructions that they sent me home with. If I ever need to have additional oral procedures done, I will definitely give Dr. Alex a call.

This was the most wonderful and caring dental office I have ever been to. The staff was exceptional. Dr Alex has a wonderful bedside manner. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and caring about patient comfort. I felt that way about Debra and Dr Alex's assistant. The office is comfortable and beautiful. I had a wonderful experience having my tooth pulled, and excellent instructions before going home. I will definitely recommend Dr Alex to anyone who needs an oral surgeon.
