Why Your Consultation Matters: Starting With the Right Surgeon

Your consultation is more than a checkup. It is the moment you and your surgeon decide together whether treatment is needed and what approach fits your health and goals. Starting with a board-certified specialist means you get a thorough evaluation from someone with advanced surgical training.

What Sets a Board-Certified Oral Surgeon Apart From the Start

Dr. Hammond earned his board certification from the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS), a credential that goes well beyond a dental license. This requires years of hospital-based residency, written and oral exams, and ongoing recertification. It means you are in the hands of a surgeon who has met the highest standard in the field.

What to Expect at Your First Visit With Dr. Hammond

Every consultation follows a clear process designed to put you at ease and give Dr. Hammond the information he needs to recommend the right care.

Before Your Appointment: What to Bring and How to Prepare

  • Your photo ID and insurance card
  • A list of current medications and any medical conditions
  • Any referral forms or X-rays from your dentist (if you have them)
  • Questions you want to ask (write them down so you do not forget)

If you need help understanding your insurance or financing options, our team can review your benefits before you arrive.

During the Consultation: Examination, Imaging, and Your Questions

First, Dr. Hammond will review your medical history and talk with you about your concerns. Then he will perform a thorough oral examination. Depending on your needs, we may take digital X-rays on-site. This technology uses less radiation and gives us a clear picture of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.

Dr. Hammond will explain his findings and discuss treatment options. He encourages questions, and no question is too small. He wants you to feel confident and informed.

After the Consultation: Next Steps and Treatment Planning

Once Dr. Hammond shares his recommendations, we will outline a treatment plan tailored to your situation. You will receive a clear estimate of costs and timing. Our team can help with scheduling, insurance verification, and any needed coordination with your dentist. Many patients move forward with treatment the same week.

If you prefer to take time to think it over or want a second opinion, that is fine. We are here to support you at your pace.

Benefits of Choosing Sea Pines for Your Surgical Consultation

Sea Pines is not a high-volume corporate clinic. Dr. Hammond is the sole surgeon and founder, so the care you receive is personal and accountable. We focus on making your experience as smooth as possible, from a warm welcome to clear communication about costs and recovery. As part of our Diagnostics & Planning services, your consultation includes access to advanced imaging and oral pathology evaluation when needed.
