First of all I got there a half hour before my appointment and was waited on right away. Second of all, the dentist was great at performing the service I needed from the beginning to the end and made me aware of everything that he was doing as well as made sure that I was feeling okay the entire time. Third of all, I was finished really quickly and last of all the staff was great. I jreally love my Dentist as well as the staff at Touch of Smiles Dental Care where they really care about you and your smile 😁!

I want to give a shoutout to A Touch of Smiles Dental Care! Dr. Susan Ra, and her staff saved my Thanksgiving holiday! 1 week before Thanksgiving I had a tremendous tooth ache, and had to have a tooth extraction. Well Touch of Smiles was able to fit me into their busy pre holiday schedule, and perform the necessary dental work in a remarkably efficient manner. After the necessary surgery my mouth started feeling a lot better right away, thus I was able to enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner! Thank you Dr. Susan Ra and staff for your help and, dedication to helping your patients!!

This visit I met and worked with th new dental hygienist who was so gental but thorough. Hope she stays at Touch o smiles. Thank you! I did miss my personal friendly, coversation about the viewing interest I share in common with Dr Ra who was attending a seminar today. Yes, after so many years as her patient, I consider Dr. RA a friend! She has totally transformed my fear of dental visits by being a skilled, contemporary, confident and friendly dental problem solver.
Common Questions About Oral Surgery
There are several circumstances that might require oral surgery. If you or your loved one has a badly damaged or diseased tooth, it may need removal. Likewise, wisdom teeth often cause problems as they emerge and need to be extracted. Other procedures like bone grafts, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentations prepare for treatments such as dental implants.
Your dental insurance or medical insurance may cover a portion of your oral surgery. We recommend you check with your individual carriers to find out what they will and won’t pay for before you have any work done. That way, there aren’t any big surprises in store for you. As a convenience, we offer third-party financing through CareCredit, LendingClub, and Sunbit.
For the first 24 hours after oral surgery, you shouldn’t attempt any sort of exercise. Doing too much too soon can cause problems. For example, strenuous exercise could loosen the blood clot on a tooth extraction site and cause a painful dry socket. After the first day, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for a few more days to be on the safe side.
