For more than 40 years, Rockcliff Oral & Facial Surgery has been a leading center for surgical care in Western North Carolina. Our surgeons perform some of the most complex and advanced oral surgery procedures in the region.
Our specialists are experts in treating conditions affecting the face, mouth, and jaws. All of our surgeons are board-certified and have active privileges at Mission Hospital. We strive to provide the highest level of care and exceptional surgical results using the best scientific evidence and proven techniques. We also offer many minimally-invasive surgical options.
Our surgeons are committed to serving people across western North Carolina. We have offices in Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville, and Sylva. We offer a kind, compassionate approach in a comfortable, personalized atmosphere.
Rockcliff Oral & Facial Surgery uses the latest surgical and diagnostic equipment available to better treat our patients. Our advanced 3D technology allows for precise preoperative planning and the production of surgical guides to obtain better outcomes with shorter surgery time. We utilize dynamic navigation in many surgeries to obtain more precise surgical results.
We are often faced with patients who have lost tissue or bone as a result of injury or disease. Our surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques in regenerative medicine such as platelet rich fibrin, bone morphogenetic proteins, or donor bone to help speed healing and replace lost tissues.
All surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia to maximize your comfort. The method of anesthesia is determined by the nature of the procedure and your level of apprehension. Anesthesia options, as well as any potential risks, will be discussed with you prior to your procedure.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are extensively trained in all forms of anesthesia administration. Our doctors are experienced in the delivery of sedation, as well as regional anesthesia of the head and neck. We also employ the services of a board-certified anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetists when necessary for more complex or lengthy procedures.
Most routine oral surgery procedures are performed in a private surgical suite at one of our four office locations. This comfortable, personalized setting allows for safe and efficient treatment while reducing the overall cost of your care. Our surgical suites are furnished with the latest anesthesia monitoring equipment, allowing for delivery of intravenous and regional anesthesia.
Any patient undergoing oral or intravenous sedation cannot eat or drink anything for 8 hours prior to surgery. This is to avoid food from your stomach getting into your lungs after you are asleep which could lead to serious complications.
Some medications can interact with sedation medications or increase your risk of bleeding. Your doctor will tell you if you need to stop any of your medications prior to surgery. Otherwise, you may take any necessary medications with a small sip of water prior to your sedation.
We want you to be safe. Respiratory infections can increase your risk when being put to sleep. The physiological effects of the infection can linger in the lungs much longer than the symptoms are felt. Some infections that cause a sore throat can get into your wound and lead to life-threatening surgical site infections.
Patients who undergo sedation should not drive or operate heavy machinery for 24 hours after surgery. Plan to have someone available the day of surgery to take you to our office, stay in the building during your procedure, and take you home afterwards. This person will also need to help you get any necessary medications from the pharmacy and make sure you get home safely.
After your procedure you will be carefully monitored until fully awake and ready to go home. Initial recovery will occur in the surgery suite. Once able, you will be transferred to our recovery unit where you will rest comfortably. Your doctor will discuss the surgery and any necessary instructions with you and your escort. By the time you leave our office, you should expect to be feel awake but groggy.
It is important to understand what you need to do after surgery to promote healing and have a safe and comfortable recovery. Your recovery time depends on several different factors, including the type of operation youve had and the severity of your condition. Our providers and staff are here to help you recover quickly and get back to your work and daily activities.
Our surgeons are on call every day with our practice and atMission Hospital. During office hours, if you have questions, pain or problems resulting from a surgery, there is a clinical assistant in the building who will assist you with your problem. After hours, call our office at 828-255-7781.
Here are typical post-surgical instructions for most routine oral surgical procedures. The information provided here does not replace the advice of your doctor about your specific case. Always follow the recommendations of your surgeon.

After having a bone graft several months ago, today I received my second dental implant! Everything went perfectly with the procedure. I have not experienced any pain and am very pleased with this process. Dr. Logan and the wonderful staff are very kind and accommodating. They work as a smooth operating team! I highly recommend choosing Rockcliff to anyone needing specialized oral care.

Surgery was fine but office stinks......no follow up and unable to reach them when I had problems......they do not return phone calls when a message is left on their post surgery issues line. They failed to call in a prescription ordered by the surgeon and I had to visit my own dentist when there was a problem with the wound.

I had a cracked molar removed. Dr. Logan was outstanding. I did not feel a thing! Nurses were very comforting during the procedure and knowledgeable about post-op. Office staff was pleasant. Overall, great practice!

Dr Logan and his team are great! Friendly and very professional. I had never had a tooth extracted in my life (nearing 60 years of age) and was fretting over the entire ordeal. For me, the extraction was over in just a few seconds, pain free, as was the rest of the procedures in order for me to receive an implant. Highly recommended.

Everyone is very professional and efficient. I received an implant with great care and had little recovery time with no swelling or other issues to contend with. I recommend Dr. Maliken as I also had the original tooth extracted by him with no issues and was put at ease with the whole process.

Honestly I give my review 5 stars! My first consolation appointment went great Dr Logan and his assistants were amazing and very informative and straight forward with exactly what they were going to do as far as getting my wisdom teeth out, it's something I held off for years because I was terrified! When the time came they scheduled me 2 days later for the surgery, it went great! Dr Logan made sure I was okay the whole time and talked me through it considering I chose to be awake during the procedure. I had very little pain after the surgery it really wasn't bad at all! Thank you Rockcliff Oral and dr Logan for everything I feel so much better! See you in two weeks for my check up!

Friendly Staff all the way through, a beautiful and clean facility, everyone was very clear and professional. but... 38 minutes in the lobby, then had 16 minute consultation to include the summary and paying, the net result was waiting for weeks for a consultation walking on egg shells, then on the big 1st day I paid 100 dollars for 16 minutes of dialogue, (don't get me wrong it was good dialogue, neigh GREAT dialogue) but still it ended up being what I expected, and then it's a la carte and up to me how we proceed, there wasn't anything new introduced to me, it just felt like I had to wait weeks and pay an entry fee to get here. I suppose that something more complex might have needed more than 18 minutes, and I understand why a consultation is required, it just seems like this 100 dollars is a fee to cover the pedantic and frantic (certainly wasn't me). I am giving 4 stars, I will add a review after the procedure, this consultation practice, isn't unfair or uncommon compared to the places I called in Atlanta, Birmingham, Greenville, and Spartanburg. I'd love for Rockcliff to use some of the innovation we all learned in 2020 and 2021, and use technology/virtual for some of these consultations for a reduced fee. I feel ultimately we'd be further along in this process, and the office would have saved some time too.

My elderly neighbor has been in tears for months, trying to settle a fee dispute. She is an intelligent and reasonable person. She has been charged for work that she paid for in advance, but was not able to continue the treatment due to health concerns, yet they insist on full payment even though only partial work was performed. She has never been turned over to collections in her life and and to have it happen now, at her age, is causing her such angst, it breaks my heart to see her like this. My neighbor has made every effort to explain her side but to no avail. I wish they could know the damage they are doing to her.
