Introduction

It is our pleasure to serve you. You may have been referred to us by your dentist, a medical provider, or one of the many people whom we’ve helped over the years. Our caring, well-trained staff hope to make you as comfortable as possible during your treatment.

Our goal is to provide the level of care that you need in the most pleasant way possible -- the way we want our own families treated. We are sympathetic that many of our patients feel that they've had negative oral surgery or dental experiences previously.

Our Office

A CONSULTATION during your first visit MAY be recommended to make sure that you understand your proposed treatment and to assure you that Dr. Levy understands your unique needs. We offer the most modern oral surgical care in a comfortable, pleasant setting. General anesthesia or IV sedation is available to you if desired (as modified by your general health). As part of our continuing commitment to your well-being, Dr. Levy takes a great deal of anesthesia, surgical, medical, and dental continuing education. Our surgical assisting staff have chosen oral surgery as their field and are very experienced to help with your needs.

Sterilization is of the utmost concern to us. We steam-sterilize (autoclave) or use disposable equipment. We also regularly test our sterilization process as is done in hospital operating rooms.

Many of our staff have had family members treated in our office. The same concern for safety and gentle care will be shown to you and your family members.

Your Mouth — Your Choice

There are often a number of different ways to help you with your oral surgical problem. Dr. Levy listens carefully and respects the fact that you have the ultimate choice in your care. It is his duty to be sure that your choice benefits you.

Removing infected teeth and wisdom teeth, placing dental implants, caring for TMJ (jaw joint problems) and skillfully using general anesthesia are just some of the ways that we help our patients.

Dr. Levy takes any surgery which he may need to do for you very seriously, as you might expect. This care goes into a tooth extraction with anesthesia, just as much as when Dr. Levy repairs a patient’s TMJ/jaw joint or a jaw fracture.

No reputable surgeon in any specialty would imply that a procedure is without possible complications. Dr. Levy will discuss the possible issues for your procedure in detail, so that you can make a wise choice.

Dr. Levy devotes himself to obtaining a good result for you if it appears that oral surgery is needed. His surgical residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and his 20-plus years of providing care to the community display this focus on his patients’ well-being.
