Introduction

Dr. Gallagher is a certified specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery.  He has current and advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial problems from the simple to the complex.  Dr. Gallagher has a high level of expertise in:

• Removal of difficult or impacted teeth (wisdom teeth)
• Placement of dental implants
• Management of facial injuries (trauma)
• Treatment of dental and skeletal deformities (orthognathic surgery)
• Surgical and management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
• Care for other oral infections and diseases (pathology)

In addition to possessing excellent surgical skills and techniques, Dr. Gallagher is also a licensed anesthesiologist.  What this means for you is a much more convenient appointment completed in our well established facility, not a hospital, so there is no need to incur those expensive hospitalization costs.

When asked why he took so much time to learn and practice anesthesia he answered, “As oral surgeons we perform a lot of surgery in our offices, and I wanted to be optimally prepared to offer a full range of pain control and anesthesia to my patients in an extremely safe manner. We can provide safe, effective anesthesia for people of all ages, from small children to the elderly. It is normal for people to be apprehensive about surgery, so comprehensive anesthesia training and experience benefits everyone, particularly very scared persons.”

Our practice takes great pride in bringing our patients the latest in technologically advanced, comfort oriented oral and maxillofacial surgical care.  Our outpatient surgical facility is equipped with modern specialized equipment.  Our staff is a highly trained, experienced, and compassionate team of caring professionals. In most cases, procedures that can be safely done on an outpatient basis can be safely done in our office setting, avoiding potentially inconvenient and time-consuming hospitalization.
