Any oral surgeon in good standing with his or her national and state boards and associations has the ability to meet your needs. If he or she has been in business for several years, and has good ratings, you can feel safe going to them. But what separates a great oral surgeon from an ordinary one?
Service
We here at Wilmington Oral Surgery believe service is key. From the first time you call until you have completely recovered from your procedure, we strive to offer you the best service possible.
That includes maintaining a clean and inviting office, making sure you feel comfortable at all times, and treating you with respect, compassion and kindness.
Some oral surgeons think, just because they have gone through over a decade of schooling and graduated at or near the top of their dental school class, they are superior to their patients and staff. They forget there is more to their work than clinical ability. A big part of the job, in Dr. Scott Puckett’s opinion, is making the process as pleasant as it can be for all involved.
Communication
Communication is another critical part of being a great surgeon. Patients have every right to ask as many questions as they wish, and get satisfactory answers. You may want to know the background, experience and specialties of the surgeon you are considering. Other questions patients frequently ask include:
- What new tools and technologies do you use?
- Why is the surgery necessary?
- May I see samples of your work (before and after photos)?
- Do you take my insurance?
- Do you offer financing options?
- Can you accommodate my special needs?
- Is the surgeon on-call for emergencies?
- What makes you the best surgeon for this procedure?
- Can you provide references?
We are glad to answer any questions you may have. We also pride ourselves on clear communication with your dentist before and after the surgery.
