New Patient Resources
Now Accepting New Patients
Midwest Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is excited to welcome new patients to our practice in Palos Heights. Whether you need a wisdom tooth extraction, dental implants, or specialized oral or maxillofacial surgery, our team delivers exceptional surgical care.
Your First Visit
During your initial appointment, you’ll meet with your oral surgeon for a thorough consultation. We’ll review your diagnosis and discuss your treatment options in detail. In some cases, surgery can be performed on the same day as your consultation. However, if your medical history or treatment plan is more complex, a follow-up appointment may be necessary to ensure the best possible care. A preoperative consultation and physical examination are mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral slip and any X-rays, if applicable.
- A list of current medications
- If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms.
Please note: A parent or guardian must accompany patients under the age of 18 for the consultation visit.
