What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your initial appointment is an important opportunity for us to get to know you and understand your goals. During this visit, one of our surgeons, Dr. Sean Healy or Dr. Diego Hurtado, will perform a thorough evaluation and review your medical and dental history. You may also have digital imaging or scans taken so that we can fully assess your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan.

We encourage you to ask questions at any time during your visit. Our team will explain your diagnosis, discuss your treatment options, and make sure you feel confident about your next steps.

To help us prepare for your first appointment, please bring the following items with you:

A valid photo ID
Your referral form (if applicable)

See why our patients love us

My son had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr Hurtado. He had absolutely no swelling or pain whatsoever after the procedure. He even stopped taking pain medicine after the first day, as he stated he did not have any pain and didn't need it. I am truly impressed with this staff and procedure done at this office. I highly recommend them to any parents who are looking for an easy wisdom tooth extraction for their kiddos. Thank you to the Doc and his lovely staff!

Dr Diego Hurtado and his office and staff are just wonderful. Dr Hurtado answered all my many questions respectfully and with much patience and kindness. The extraction went well and the healing process also. He saw me for a follow up. He even noted that I should check out an unrelated tooth with my local dentist which turned out to have a cavity. He is a highly observant oral surgeon that goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Healy and his team provided excellent care for me when I had my wisdom teeth extracted. The preoperative instructions were clear and the surgery day was very organized and went according to plan. I woke up from the procedure without any pain and I only needed one dose of the medication prescribed for the recovery period. Dr. Healy’s office followed up to see how I was doing and I really felt cared for. I recommend Dr. Healy to my friends and family and I would happily return to the practice!

Dr. Healy has performed surgical wisdom teeth removal on both my teenagers and they both had a positive experience. I noticed that even within one years time he changed his practice so when it came to my daughter we followed her regime as given and her recovery went even better than my son's. Dr. Healy has a great patient manner and develops trust with his patients. He takes his time and explains things very well. Thank you Dr. Healy for doing such a great job with both my children. The dental assistants are wonderful!

The entire staff all have hearts of gold. Dr. Healey and his assistant Charlie were amazing with my wisdom teeth extraction. Not only did Dr. Healey have an excellent and professional yet warm and caring manner to him, he truly knows his stuff. I had zero fears about my surgery and I am glad my experience was with him. Highly recommended!
