Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice from members of the Minneapolis/Twin Cities area. I might be in need of an oral surgeon in the near future, and I'd like to locate one who has experience with things such as wisdom teeth, extractions, or implants.
While browsing the web for an
oral surgeon Minneapolis, I came across
Facial Designs, P.A. and noticed that they offer oral/maxillofacial surgery, including wisdom teeth removals, extractions, implants, bone grafting, and procedures involving jaws and soft tissues. They have locations in Minnetonka and Excelsior, and have patients across the Twin Cities.
Has anyone here had any experience with Facial Designs? I'm looking for insight on the consultation process, and the information and care provided during the operation. If you have had any experience with them, feel free to share!
One thing I’m trying to determine is how much the consultation experience matters when making a decision. I would prefer a surgeon who takes the time to explain exactly what needs to be done, why the procedure is necessary, what alternatives might be available, and what recovery will realistically be like. I’m also curious about how practices handle anxiety because I know oral surgery can make some people nervous.
For anyone who has had oral surgery in the Minneapolis or surrounding Twin Cities area, what factors did you consider before choosing your surgeon? Did you primarily go with your dentist’s referral, or did you research several practices and schedule consultations before deciding?
I’d also be interested in hearing about things such as communication with the office, scheduling, how clearly the treatment plan and costs were explained, and what the actual recovery process was like. If you had wisdom teeth removed, a difficult extraction, an implant, bone grafting, or another type of oral surgery, did you feel like you received enough information beforehand?
Has anyone here personally visited Facial Designs? If so, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. I’m particularly interested in how the consultation went, whether the surgeon answered your questions thoroughly, and how you felt about the overall experience before and after the procedure.
I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest option. I’m more interested in finding a qualified specialist with good communication and a professional approach. At the same time, I’d rather hear honest experiences from local patients than rely entirely on online reviews or marketing information.
Any recommendations, things to watch out for, or questions I should ask during an initial consultation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to share their experience!
This is really just an inquiry for those who have had the same experience, and am looking to schedule a consultation myself. Thanks!
