If you’ve been living with a missing tooth for a long time, you may have wondered if it's too late to fix. Maybe you’ve gotten used to the gap, learned to smile a certain way, or simply kept telling yourself you’d deal with it someday.

But you don’t have to assume that it’s too late.

Even after years of missing a tooth, dental implants may still be an option. Your oral surgeon can evaluate your bone, gums, and overall oral health to determine whether an implant is right for you and discuss any additional treatment that may be needed.

If you've been putting off replacing a missing tooth, schedule a consultation to find out what your options are.

Not sure what to expect during an oral surgery consultation? You’re not alone.

A consultation is an opportunity to understand what’s going on, talk through your concerns, and get answers before making decisions about treatment.

What to expect during your visit:
• A review of your medical and dental history
• An examination of your mouth and diagnostic imaging, if necessary
• A discussion of treatment options
• An opportunity to ask questions
• Next steps based on your individual needs

There’s no such thing as a bad question when it comes to your care. Come prepared to ask what you want to know.

🎉 Happy Boss’s Day to Dr. Pliske! 🎉

We are so grateful to have Dr. Pliske as our boss! His favorite saying, “You’re not a tooth, you’re a person,” says so much about who he is. ❤️ He treats every patient with kindness, compassion, and care, always remembering the person behind the smile.

We feel lucky to work alongside someone who cares so much about his patients and his team. Thank you, Dr. Pliske, for all you do! We appreciate you more than you know! 🦷❤️

Happy Boss’s Day from your South Central Oral Surgery family!

When should you see an oral surgeon?

From wisdom teeth and dental implants to jaw pain, oral pathology and facial trauma, oral surgeons treat a wide range of conditions.

If you’re experiencing persistent pain, swelling or another concern, talk with your dentist about whether seeing an oral surgeon may be right for you.

A few things we wish every oral surgery patient knew:

• You can ask questions. Lots of them.
• You don’t have to wait until something hurts to have a concern evaluated.
• Recovery looks different for everyone, and your care team can help you understand what to expect.
• You can ask about the benefits, risks, and alternatives to a recommended treatment.

When you understand your care, you can feel more confident about the decisions you make. That’s what we want for every patient.

There are no silly questions when it comes to your health.

Whether you’re preparing for a consultation or getting ready for a procedure, you should feel comfortable asking questions and making sure you understand your care plan.

Not sure what to ask? Start with:

💬 What are my treatment options?
💬 What are the benefits and risks?
💬 What should I expect during recovery?
💬 Is there anything I should do to prepare?

Our team is here to help you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

🎉💙 Happy Birthday, Samantha! 💙🎉

Today we’re celebrating our newest surgical assistant and one of the newest members of the South Central Oral Surgery family!

Samantha may be new to our team, but she has fit right in from day one! She’s always smiling, always fun to be around, and has already become such a wonderful part of our SCOMS crew. 🦷✨

When she’s not at work, Samantha is a busy mom to two boys and spends lots of time cheering them on at their sporting events. She loves to read, decorate her house for every holiday 🎃🎄🇺🇸, and is a self-proclaimed amateur sourdough bread maker. 🍞😂

We’re so happy you’re part of our team, Samantha, and we hope your birthday is as wonderful and fun as you are! Help us wish Samantha a very Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂💙

What a great evening of learning and connecting! 🦷✨

Last night we kicked off our Dental Hygiene Series with Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS, hosted by South Central Oral Surgery. We loved having so many local dentists and hygienists join us for an evening focused on dental implant care, education, and sharing knowledge.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the evening such a success! We’re already looking forward to Session 2 in December! 💙
