More than one kind of surgical need
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon evaluates conditions affecting the mouth and jaw. Dr. Steinbeck’s practice lists a range of services. The recommendation for you depends on your examination and medical history.
Cleft palate surgery
Cleft palate surgery is among the services listed by the practice. Call to discuss the patient’s needs, available records, and the appropriate consultation or referral pathway.
Endodontic surgery
The practice also lists endodontic surgery. If your dentist has recommended a surgical evaluation related to a tooth’s root, bring the referral and relevant imaging so the proposed care can be discussed.
Traumatic dental injuries
If you have a dental injury, contact a clinician promptly for advice about the right care setting. The practice lists traumatic dental injury care and provides a separate guide for fracture patients.
For an immediate threat to life, severe injury, or difficulty breathing, call 911. Appointment requests are not monitored as an emergency service.
Bring your questions
Ask whether the office treats your specific condition, what records are useful, and how treatment would be coordinated with other clinicians.
