Our practice is led by board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Jeremy Hammond, and every member of our staff shares his commitment to compassionate, expert care. Whether you are coming in for wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, or a consultation, you can expect a warm welcome and clear guidance every step of the way.
Our Support Staff & Clinical Team
Behind every successful procedure is a team of skilled professionals who make surgery feel smooth and approachable. Our clinical staff includes surgical assistants, registered nurses, and administrative coordinators who work together to put you at ease. They are the people who answer your questions before the procedure, hold your hand during anesthesia, and follow up to ensure you are healing well.
Our team understands that oral surgery can feel intimidating. Many of our patients tell us they were nervous before their first visit, and they leave surprised by how comfortable the experience was. That is not an accident — it is by design. From the front desk to the treatment room, every interaction is shaped by empathy and professionalism.
What to Expect from Our Team at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is about building trust. You will meet our front office team, who will help with paperwork and answer insurance or scheduling questions. Then you will sit down with Dr. Hammond for a thorough exam and discussion of your needs. You will have time to ask every question you have. If a procedure is recommended, we will explain your options, including sedation, so you feel fully informed before moving forward.

Dr. Hammond vs. a General Dentist — What the Difference Means for Your Care
Many patients wonder why they should see an oral surgeon instead of staying with their family dentist. The table below highlights the key differences.
| Feature | Dr. Hammond (Oral Surgeon) | General Dentist |
|---|---|---|
| Board certification | ABOMS board certified in oral & maxillofacial surgery | Typically not board certified in surgery |
| Surgical scope | Full scope: implants, wisdom teeth, pathology, jaw surgery, trauma | Limited to simple extractions and minor soft tissue procedures |
| Anesthesia capabilities | IV sedation, general anesthesia, nitrous oxide | Usually local anesthesia only |
| Referral pathway | Patients are referred by dentists or self-refer for complex needs | Primary care, refers out for advanced surgery |
| Procedure complexity handled | Impacted wisdom teeth, full arch implants, bone grafting, facial fractures | Simple extractions, fillings, crowns |
The decision often comes down to safety and expertise. For straightforward extractions, your dentist may be a great choice. But for impacted wisdom teeth, multiple dental implants, or any condition that requires deeper anesthesia, a board-certified oral surgeon is the right call.
