AboutGreat Lakes Oral Surgery
Welcome to Great Lakes Oral Surgery. Our team provides oral surgery service in Ann Arbor and the surrounding area. We are highly skilled specialists in patient care and take every measure necessary to ensure patient comfort and safety. Some might find oral surgery intimidating. That is why our team wants you to know you are in capable hands, with practitioners backed by experience and a dedication to patient health.
The team at Great Lakes Oral Surgery provides the full range of oral surgery procedures to a diverse group of patients. We bring the same precision and care from simple extractions to reconstructions or more involved procedures. Our team realizes that no two procedures or people are alike. Therefore, we must take the time to get to know patients and develop a deep understanding of their issues. This is the only way we can customize a care plan that truly serves their needs.
Our procedures have relieved many of our patients’ toughest oral health problems. Problems in the mouth can affect sleep, speaking, eating, and many other areas vital to a healthy and active life. Our years of experience equip us with the knowledge and skill to help our patients achieve the results they seek.
Many patients find oral surgery daunting. Therefore, putting patients at ease is our first priority. This begins with patient education. The more educated a patient is about any procedure, and how it can benefit them, the more comfortable they will be before, during, and after their treatment. Informing our patients is paramount because we know that informed patients are able to take a more active role in their treatment process and recovery.
In addition to ensuring patients have what they need to make the right decisions about their oral health, we will take every step to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. Our team is knowledgeable in various sedation methods for those who are especially anxious about the idea of surgery. In addition, we will work with each patient to ensure their treatment goes as smoothly as possible. After the procedure, we follow up with patients to answer questions and inquire about the recovery process.
Great Lakes Oral Surgery stays in touch with each of our patients on every step of their care journey. If, at any stage in the process, you need help, never hesitate to call. Our caring staff is here to answer questions and offer assistance. Please call 734-961-4864 to learn more about our services.
