Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The term oral and maxillofacial surgery can seem overwhelming. Simply put, an oral surgeon specializes in correcting various diseases, injuries, and defects in the head, neck, face, and jaw. Dr. Gallagher addresses problems ranging from removing impacted teeth to repairing severe facial trauma.

Dr. Gallagher has received board certification as an oral surgeon, Dr. Gallagher completed the usual four years of dental school in only three years and then entered a two year anesthesiology residency. He went on to complete his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency training program where he coauthored many scientific papers, lectured on various topics, and contributed to textbooks about the correction of facial deformities and other subjects.

During his anesthesiology residency, Dr. Gallagher became proficient in several methods of sedation. His comprehensive range of anesthesia services includes nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. His training and expertise will give you peace of mind during your oral and maxillofacial surgery.
