At OMS Associates, board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD performs apicoectomies as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia or sedation. Sometimes a tooth that has had a root canal stays sore, or an infection lingers at the root tip and shows up on an X-ray. When a repeat root canal is not the right answer, an apicoectomy treats the problem from the other direction: through the gum, at the root tip, rather than from the crown. For many patients it is the difference between keeping a tooth and losing it. Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and has practiced in South Florida since 2007. He performs root-end surgery with magnification and in-house 3D imaging for precise planning. ## When an apicoectomy is recommended - Persistent infection or a cyst at the root tip after a root canal - Pain or swelling that has not resolved after endodontic treatment - A blocked or complex root canal that cannot be retreated conventionally - An X-ray showing inflammation at the apex of a treated tooth Your dentist or endodontist usually flags the issue first. The goal is to clear the infection and preserve the natural tooth. ## What the procedure involves - Outpatient surgery under local anesthesia, with IV sedation available - A small opening is made in the gum near the root tip - The infected tissue and the very end of the root are removed - A small filling seals the end of the root canal - The gum is closed with sutures; the bone heals around the root over the following months The procedure is typically completed in under an hour, depending on the tooth and its location. ## Recovery - **Days 1–2:** mild swelling and discomfort, managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication - **Week 1:** most patients return to normal activities; sutures are removed or dissolve - **Following months:** the bone at the root tip gradually heals Most patients describe recovery as comparable to a routine extraction, and usually more comfortable than they expect. ## Why OMS Associates - A board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, not a general dentist - 3D imaging to map the root and surrounding anatomy before surgery - [Anesthesia and sedation options](/office-anesthesia) tailored to your comfort - The same surgeon for the procedure and the follow-up ## Frequently asked questions ### Is an apicoectomy better than pulling the tooth? When the tooth is otherwise sound, saving it with an apicoectomy preserves your natural bite and avoids the cost and steps of replacing it. We will tell you honestly if extraction and an [implant](/dental-implants) is the better long-term option. ### Is it painful? The procedure is done under anesthesia, so you do not feel it. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and short-lived. ### How successful is it? Root-end surgery has a high success rate for appropriately selected cases. We review your imaging and history to confirm you are a good candidate. ## Ready to save the tooth? If your dentist or endodontist has mentioned an apicoectomy, the next step is a consult.

At OMS Associates, board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD plans and places single-tooth, multi-tooth, and full-arch implants across four South Florida offices. From consult to final crown, a straightforward case takes 3 to 9 months; implants can last decades with reasonable care. A missing tooth doesn't just affect how you smile. It changes how you chew, how your jaw transmits force, and over time, how your bone holds its shape. A dental implant is the closest dentistry comes to replacing what nature gave you, a titanium root that integrates with your bone and supports a custom crown indistinguishable from your other teeth. At OMS Associates, Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich plans and places dental implants across the full range of cases: single missing teeth, multiple-tooth bridges supported by implants, and full-arch reconstructions for patients who have lost all their teeth in an arch. ## Who is a good candidate? Most adults with a missing tooth, adequate bone, and reasonable oral hygiene are candidates. The cases that need extra planning: - Long-standing tooth loss with bone resorption: may need grafting or [sinus lift](/sinus-lift) before placement - Active periodontal disease: needs to be controlled first - Uncontrolled diabetes or active smoking: affects healing - Patients on certain bone-density medications: requires medical coordination Even when bone is thin or the sinus is in the way, modern grafting and sinus-lift techniques mean very few patients are completely ineligible. The planning question is more often when and how, not whether. ## What the process looks like - **Consult and 3D imaging:** we map your bone, plan the implant position, and walk you through the timeline - **If needed:** bone graft or sinus lift, with healing time before implant placement - **Implant placement:** outpatient surgery, typically under local anesthesia or IV sedation - **Healing:** three to six months while the implant integrates with the bone (this is called osseointegration) - **Crown placement:** your restorative dentist or our team places the final crown Some cases qualify for immediate-load implants, where a temporary crown goes on the same day. We'll tell you at the consult whether that fits your situation. ## Single tooth vs. multiple teeth vs. full arch ### Single implant Replaces one missing tooth without affecting the neighbors. Highest predictability, simplest planning. ### Multi-tooth bridge on implants Two or more implants support a bridge that replaces a span of missing teeth. Avoids grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, which is what a traditional bridge requires. ### Full-arch reconstruction Four to six implants support a fixed full-arch prosthesis. Patients who have been struggling with loose dentures often describe this as life-changing, the prosthesis is fixed, not removable, and feels closer to natural teeth. ## Why OMS Associates for implants - Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon planning every case - 3D imaging on site for accurate placement - Bone grafting and sinus lift performed in-house, by the same surgeon - Coordination with your restorative dentist or orthodontist - Two locations: Southwest Ranches and Kendall ## Frequently asked questions ### How long do dental implants last? With reasonable care, a dental implant can last decades. The implant itself is titanium and doesn't decay. The crown on top can wear over years and may eventually need replacement, much like any dental restoration. ### Is the placement painful? The surgery itself is performed with anesthesia, so you don't feel it. Post-operatively, most patients describe it as more comfortable than a routine extraction, the implant is placed in a precisely prepared site rather than removed from one. ### How much do dental implants cost in South Florida? Cost depends on whether grafting is needed, the number of implants, and the type of final restoration. We provide a written treatment plan with the full cost at the consult so there are no surprises. For a breakdown of what drives the price, read our guide to [dental implant cost in Florida](/blog/dental-implant-cost-florida). ### Will my insurance cover it? Some dental plans cover a portion of implant treatment; many do not. Medical insurance occasionally covers parts of the surgical procedure in specific situations. We'll help you understand your benefits before you commit. ## Ready to plan your implant? Book a consult at our Southwest Ranches or Kendall office. We'll review your imaging, walk you through the plan, and give you a clear cost and timeline.

Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD performs exposure and bond at OMS Associates in coordination with referring orthodontists across South Florida. Most patients are back to normal activity the next day. If your orthodontist has identified an impacted tooth, usually a canine, that won't come down on its own, the fix is a procedure called exposure and bond. An oral surgeon exposes the tooth surgically and attaches a small bracket so the orthodontist can pull it into position over the following months. Done well, the patient ends up with a full, properly aligned arch and no one ever sees a scar. Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich performs exposure and bond procedures regularly at OMS Associates, in close coordination with referring orthodontists across South Florida. ## When exposure and bond is needed - Impacted canine (most common) that won't erupt naturally - Impacted incisor or premolar blocking orthodontic alignment - Supernumerary (extra) tooth blocking eruption of a permanent tooth - A tooth identified on a panoramic X-ray during orthodontic workup that's heading the wrong direction ## How the procedure works - Pre-op planning with your orthodontist on which tooth, which direction to pull, and which bracket to attach - Outpatient procedure, typically under local anesthesia or light sedation - Small surgical access to the impacted tooth - Bracket bonded to the tooth with an attached gold chain - Tissue closed with dissolvable sutures - The orthodontist begins applying gentle traction at the next adjustment Most patients return to school or work the next day. The orthodontic pull-down takes anywhere from six to eighteen months depending on how far the tooth needs to travel. ## Why surgical technique matters for this procedure Exposure and bond looks simple. It isn't. The bracket has to be placed where the orthodontic vector will actually engage. The amount of gum tissue removed matters for the long-term aesthetics of the eventual gumline. The bond has to hold for a year-plus under continuous tension. Cases where the bond fails mid-treatment cost the patient months and often a second surgery. This is one of the procedures where doing many of them, alongside the orthodontists who follow them, really matters. ## For referring orthodontists We send same-week consult availability for impacted canine cases, share post-op imaging directly with your practice, and call you with anything unexpected. We can perform the procedure at either our Southwest Ranches or Kendall office, whichever is closer to your patient. Reach Dr. Perez-Rosich's direct referral line via the contact page. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long is recovery? Most patients are back to school or work the next day. Some minor swelling for two to three days; full healing within a couple of weeks. ### Does the patient feel the bracket? Some pressure for the first day, then no. The orthodontic chain is much smaller than it sounds. ### What if the bond fails? Re-bonding is straightforward and can usually be done in a short follow-up visit. We aim to make this a one-and-done procedure for the patient. ## Schedule a consult Patients: call 954-693-0026 (Southwest Ranches) or 786-210-6160 (Kendall). Referring orthodontists: ask us about same-week consult slots and direct surgeon-to-orthodontist communication. --- URL: https://www.omsassociates.com/faq Title: Frequently asked questions | OMS Associates # Frequently asked questions ## About the practice ### Who owns OMS Associates? Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD, owns OMS Associates personally. We are not part of a Dental Service Organization (DSO) or a corporate dental chain. That means every clinical and operational decision sits with the surgeon you'll meet at your consult. ### Is Dr. Perez-Rosich board-certified? Yes. Dr. Perez-Rosich is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He completed his Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Nova Southeastern University from 2003 to 2007. ### Where are your offices located? We have four offices in South Florida: **Southwest Ranches** (15661 Sheridan St, FL 33331, 954-693-0026), **Kendall** (12002 SW 128th Ct Suite 103, Miami, FL 33186, 786-210-6160), **Doral** (2100 NW 107th Ave Suite 106, FL 33172, 786-210-6160), and **Delray Beach** (505 SE 6th Ave Suite C, FL 33483, 561-278-0004). ### Will I see the same surgeon for my consult, my procedure, and my follow-up? Yes. Dr. Perez-Rosich performs every consult, every procedure, and every follow-up himself. ## Booking and scheduling ### Can I get a same-day consult or procedure? Often, yes, particularly if you're in pain. Same-day consults and procedures are scheduled when clinically appropriate. Call us and tell the front desk what you need. ### How quickly can I get a first appointment? Most new patients are seen within the same week, often within 48 hours. ### Do I need a referral to book? No, you can book directly. If you have referral notes or imaging from another provider, bring them; it speeds up the consult. ### What should I bring to my first consult? Your most recent dental X-ray or panoramic imaging if you have one, your photo ID, your insurance card, a list of any medications you take, and any questions you've been carrying. ## Insurance and cost ### Do you accept my insurance? We work with most major dental and medical insurance plans. Call us with your insurance details and the front desk will verify coverage before your consult. ### Does medical insurance ever cover oral surgery? Sometimes, yes. Wisdom teeth removal, jaw surgery, sinus lifts, and certain implant procedures can be partially covered by medical insurance under specific circumstances. ### Do you offer financing or payment plans? Yes. We offer payment plans through CareCredit and similar third-party financing options. ## Wisdom teeth ### Does everyone need wisdom teeth removed? No. About a third of adults never need wisdom teeth removed. Removal is typically recommended when the teeth are impacted, crowding other teeth, causing recurrent pain or infection, or creating decay in hard-to-reach areas. ### What ages do you treat for wisdom teeth? Most patients have wisdom teeth removed between ages 16 and 25, when recovery tends to be smoother. We also treat adults of all ages. ### What are the recovery rules after wisdom teeth removal? Soft foods for three to five days. No straws for at least a week. No smoking. Most patients return to school or work in 3 to 5 days. ## Dental implants ### Am I a candidate for a dental implant? Most adults with a missing tooth, adequate bone, and reasonable oral hygiene are candidates. Even when bone is thin, modern grafting techniques mean very few patients are completely ineligible. ### How long does the full implant process take? From consult to final crown, three to nine months for a straightforward case. Bone grafting or sinus lift, if needed, adds healing time. ### How long do dental implants last? With reasonable care, a dental implant can last decades. ### Is dental implant surgery painful? The surgery is performed under anesthesia. Post-operatively, most patients describe it as more comfortable than a routine extraction. ## Sinus lift ### Why do I need a sinus lift before an implant? When an upper back tooth has been missing for a while, the bone tends to resorb and the maxillary sinus expands into the space. A sinus lift adds graft material, creating a foundation for the eventual implant. ### Is a sinus lift painful? Most patients describe it as more comfortable than they expected. ### What can I not do after a sinus lift? Do not blow your nose. Sneeze with your mouth open. Avoid straws, vigorous exercise, and pressure changes (no flying or scuba diving) for two weeks. ## After the procedure ### Who do I call if something happens after hours? Call our main office line. After hours, the message will route you to Dr. Perez-Rosich or his on-call coverage. ### When should I worry about post-op symptoms? Call us right away if you experience heavy bleeding that doesn't slow after 30 minutes, fever over 101°F, signs of infection, or numbness that doesn't improve. ### When can I go back to work or school? Most wisdom teeth and implant patients return in 2 to 3 days. Sinus lift patients in 3 to 5 days. Exposure and bond patients typically the next day. --- URL: https://www.omsassociates.com/office-anesthesia Title: Anesthesia & IV Sedation for Oral Surgery | OMS Associates # Anesthesia and sedation for oral surgery > **Quick answer:** Oral surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV (intravenous) sedation, or deeper sedation, depending on the procedure and the patient. At OMS Associates, board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD is trained and credentialed in office-based anesthesia and selects the level that keeps you safe and comfortable. The right anesthesia is part of what makes a procedure go smoothly. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive extensive, formal training in anesthesia as part of their residency, which is why office-based sedation is a routine, well-controlled part of surgical care here rather than something that requires a separate facility. Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and has practiced in South Florida since 2007. He discusses the options at your consult and recommends the level that fits your procedure, your health history, and your comfort. ## The options ### Local anesthesia Numbs the specific area being treated while you stay fully awake. Appropriate for simple extractions and many minor procedures. ### Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) Local anesthesia plus inhaled nitrous oxide for light relaxation. You stay awake and the effect wears off quickly afterward. ### IV sedation Medication delivered through a vein produces a deeply relaxed, drowsy state in which most patients remember little or nothing of the procedure. Common for impacted wisdom teeth, implants, and longer surgeries. Learn more about [whether IV sedation is safe](/blog/is-iv-sedation-safe). ### Deeper sedation For more complex cases or higher anxiety, a deeper level of sedation may be appropriate. Dr. Perez-Rosich will review whether this is the right choice for you. ## How we keep sedation safe - A surgeon formally trained in anesthesia during residency - Continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen throughout - A thorough review of your medical history and medications beforehand - Clear pre-operative instructions (fasting, medications, and a ride home) - Emergency equipment and protocols on site ## Preparing for sedation If you will have IV or deeper sedation: - Do not eat or drink for the period we specify before surgery - Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home - Tell us about all medications and supplements you take - Wear comfortable, loose-sleeved clothing ## Frequently asked questions ### Will I feel anything during the procedure? No. The area is fully numbed, and with sedation most patients are relaxed and remember little. Comfort is the goal at every level. ### Can I drive myself home? Yes after local anesthesia alone. No after IV or deeper sedation, you will need a ride. Plan for this in advance. ### Is office sedation safe? Office-based sedation by a trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon has a strong safety record when patients are properly screened and monitored, which is exactly the protocol we follow. See our guide on [IV sedation safety](/blog/is-iv-sedation-safe). ## Questions about your anesthesia? We will go over your options at the consult and answer anything you are unsure about. Call **954-693-0026** (Southwest Ranches) or **786-210-6160** (Kendall), or [request a consultation](/book). --- URL: https://www.omsassociates.com/oral-pathology Title: Oral Pathology · Biopsy & Diagnosis in South Florida | OMS Associates # Oral pathology in South Florida > **Quick answer:** Oral pathology is the evaluation and diagnosis of abnormal tissue in the mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures, ranging from common sores to lesions that need a biopsy. At OMS Associates, board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD examines the area, performs a biopsy when warranted, and coordinates the diagnosis so you get clear answers and a plan. Most changes inside the mouth are harmless and resolve on their own. But a sore that does not heal, a lump that keeps growing, or a white or red patch that your dentist flags deserves a closer look by a specialist. Oral pathology is the part of oral and maxillofacial surgery focused on identifying what a lesion is, and what, if anything, needs to be done about it. Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and has practiced in South Florida since 2007. He evaluates oral lesions, performs biopsies, and works with pathology labs to reach a clear diagnosis. ## When to have something looked at Have an oral surgeon evaluate any of the following, especially if it has lasted more than two weeks: - A mouth sore or ulcer that does not heal - A white (leukoplakia) or red (erythroplakia) patch on the gums, tongue, or cheek - A lump or thickening in the cheek, lip, tongue, or floor of the mouth - A persistent rough or crusted area - Numbness, unexplained bleeding, or difficulty moving the tongue or jaw - A lesion your dentist asked you to have biopsied Most of these turn out to be benign. The point of an evaluation is to confirm that, or to catch the small number that are not, early. ## What an evaluation involves - **Examination:** a careful look at the lesion and the surrounding tissue, plus your history - **Imaging when needed:** for lesions in or near the jawbone, we use in-house 3D imaging - **Biopsy when warranted:** a small tissue sample is taken, usually under local anesthesia, and sent to an oral pathology lab - **Diagnosis and plan:** once the lab report is back, we explain the findings in plain language and outline next steps ## Types of biopsy ### Incisional biopsy A portion of a larger or uncertain lesion is removed for analysis. Used when the lesion is too big to remove entirely before a diagnosis is known. ### Excisional biopsy The entire lesion is removed and sent for analysis. Common for small, well-defined lesions, often diagnostic and treatment in one step. ## Why OMS Associates for oral pathology - A board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, not a general dentist - In-house 3D imaging for lesions involving the jaw - Biopsies performed in the office under local anesthesia - Clear explanation of the pathology report and the plan - The same surgeon for the evaluation, biopsy, and follow-up ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a biopsy painful? Most soft-tissue biopsies are done under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is not painful. Mild soreness afterward is typically managed with over-the-counter medication. ### How long do results take? Most pathology reports return within about a week. We contact you as soon as the report is back and review it with you. ### Does an abnormal spot mean cancer? Usually not. The large majority of oral lesions are benign. A biopsy exists precisely to answer that question with certainty rather than guesswork. ## Ready to have it evaluated? If you or your dentist has noticed something that should be checked, the next step is an evaluation.

At OMS Associates, board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD performs these procedures so your restorative dentist can deliver a prosthesis that fits. A denture is only as good as the foundation it sits on. After teeth are lost, the underlying bone and gum tissue can be uneven, sharp, or shaped in a way that makes a denture rock, pinch, or rub. Pre-prosthetic surgery corrects those issues before the prosthesis is made, so the final result is stable and comfortable. Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and has practiced in South Florida since 2007. He coordinates closely with your restorative dentist on timing and the final result. ## When it is needed Your dentist may recommend pre-prosthetic surgery if you have: - An uneven or sharp bony ridge after extractions - Excess or loose gum tissue that interferes with a denture - Bony prominences (tori) that get in the way of a prosthesis - Insufficient ridge height or width to support a stable denture - Plans for [dental implants](/dental-implants) that require ridge preparation first ## Common procedures ### Alveoloplasty (ridge smoothing) Reshaping and smoothing the bony ridge after teeth are removed, so a denture rests evenly. Often done at the same time as extractions. ### Tori removal Removal of benign bony growths (tori) on the palate or lower jaw that interfere with a prosthesis. ### Soft-tissue recontouring Removing or reshaping excess or loose gum tissue so the denture seats properly. ### Ridge preservation and augmentation Preserving or rebuilding bone after extraction to maintain a foundation for a future denture or [implant](/dental-implants). This may involve [bone grafting](/sinus-lift). ## Why OMS Associates - A board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon planning each case - In-house 3D imaging to assess bone before surgery - Coordination with your restorative dentist on timing and outcome - The same surgeon for the procedure and the follow-up ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this done before or after extractions? Often at the same time as extractions, which avoids a second surgery. In other cases it is staged after healing. We will plan the sequence at your consult. ### How long is recovery? Most patients recover from minor ridge work in one to two weeks. We will give you a timeline specific to your procedure. ### Will my insurance cover it? Some dental and medical plans cover portions, particularly when it is part of preparing for a prosthesis. We verify your benefits before treatment. ## Ready to prepare for your denture or implant? If your dentist has mentioned that your ridge needs work before a prosthesis, the next step is a consult.

Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD performs both lateral-window and crestal sinus lifts at OMS Associates in Southwest Ranches and Kendall. Healing typically takes 4 to 9 months before the implant is placed; most patients describe recovery as more comfortable than expected. A sinus lift is one of those procedures most patients have never heard of until a dentist mentions it, and then suddenly it's standing between them and a dental implant. The short version: when you lose an upper back tooth, the bone underneath can resorb upward, leaving too little vertical bone to anchor an implant. A sinus lift adds bone graft material in the space between your upper jaw and your maxillary sinus, creating a foundation for the implant. Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich performs sinus lifts at OMS Associates in Southwest Ranches and Kendall. We do both lateral-window and crestal (osteotome) techniques depending on how much height you need. ## Why a sinus lift may be necessary - Long-standing upper back tooth loss has thinned the bone - Your maxillary sinus has expanded into the space the tooth root used to occupy - The current bone height is insufficient to place a [dental implant](/dental-implants) safely Without a sinus lift, an implant in this area can fail or perforate into the sinus. With one, success rates for the subsequent implant rise into the same range as implants in unmodified bone. ## What happens during the procedure - Outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation - A small access is created in the upper jaw - The sinus membrane is gently lifted upward - Bone graft material is placed in the created space - The site is closed with sutures - Healing takes four to nine months before implant placement, depending on the graft type and your biology ## Two main techniques ### Lateral-window sinus lift Used when significant height is needed. A small access is created on the side of the upper jaw, the sinus membrane is lifted, and graft material is placed. More invasive but allows larger volumes of graft. ### Crestal (osteotome) sinus lift Used when only a small amount of additional height is needed. The lift is performed through the implant site itself. Less invasive and often combined with same-day implant placement when conditions allow. ## Recovery - **Days 1–3:** swelling, mild bruising, prescribed pain management. No nose blowing. - **Week 1:** most patients return to normal activities - **Weeks 2–4:** routine follow-up to check graft integration - **Months 4–9:** the graft consolidates into bone strong enough to anchor an implant The most important rule during early healing: do not blow your nose. Sneeze with your mouth open. This protects the lifted sinus membrane. For more on how grafted bone consolidates over the months that follow, see our guide to [dental bone graft healing](/blog/dental-bone-graft-healing). ## Why OMS Associates for sinus lift - Board-certified surgeon performing both lateral and crestal techniques - 3D imaging to map your sinus anatomy precisely - Same surgeon for the lift, the implant, and the follow-up - Coordination with your restorative dentist on timing ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does a sinus lift take? The procedure itself is typically 60 to 90 minutes. You'll be in the office for two to three hours including preparation and recovery. ### Is a sinus lift painful? Patients commonly report less discomfort than they expect, closer to a standard extraction than to a major surgery. Post-operative pain is typically well controlled with prescribed medication for a few days. ### How much does a sinus lift cost in South Florida? Cost varies with technique, graft material, and whether it's combined with an implant. We'll give you a clear written estimate at the consult. ### Will my insurance cover it? Some dental and medical plans cover portions of the sinus lift, particularly when it's part of a larger reconstruction. We'll verify your benefits before treatment. ## Ready to talk to a surgeon? If your dentist has mentioned that you need a sinus lift before an implant, the next step is a consult with an oral surgeon who performs the procedure regularly.

She had been to a large chain practice the week before. She told us the consult took eleven minutes, she met the surgeon for the first time on the day of the procedure, and when she called the next morning with swelling questions she got a national call center. We talked with her for forty minutes. Dr. Perez-Rosich looked at her scans himself, walked her through the plan, and gave her his direct line for the recovery. She had her extractions ten days later. That experience, start to finish with the same surgeon, is the difference we want to explain on this page. If you're comparing oral surgeons in South Florida right now, you are almost certainly looking at a mix of private practices and DSO-affiliated practices. Both can deliver good care. But they're built differently, and the differences show up in the chair. ## What is a DSO? A DSO is a Dental Service Organization. It's a company that manages the business side, scheduling, billing, supply chain, marketing, hiring, for a group of dental and oral surgery practices, often under the same brand. The surgeon you see is typically an employee of the DSO, not the owner of the practice. DSOs aren't inherently bad. The model has real strengths: extended hours, consolidated technology, and lower prices on routine procedures. For some patients and some procedures, that's exactly what they need. OMS Associates is built the other way. Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich owns the practice. He sees every patient. He sets the schedule, picks the equipment, and answers to the patients in front of him rather than to corporate production targets. That's what we mean when we say we're a private, doctor-owned oral surgery practice in South Florida. ## Five differences you'll feel in the chair ### 1. Who decides your treatment plan At an independent practice, the surgeon decides what care you need based on what they see in your scans and your mouth. At a DSO-affiliated practice, treatment recommendations often run through protocols designed for consistency across many offices, and against production benchmarks the practice is expected to hit. That doesn't mean DSO care is wrong; it means the decision-making process is different. ### 2. Continuity of care Oral surgery is rarely one appointment. A dental implant case can span months. A sinus lift involves a graft, healing time, then placement. An exposure-and-bond case coordinates with an orthodontist over a year or more. At OMS Associates, the surgeon you meet at the consult is the surgeon performing the procedure and the surgeon checking on your healing. Corporate chains often have higher provider turnover, which means a new clinician reading your chart from scratch. ### 3. Time per appointment In a private practice, the surgeon sets how long each appointment is, short for a straightforward consult, longer when a case is complex. In a DSO setting, appointment blocks are often standardized across the network. That works fine for cleanings. It's less ideal for surgical planning. ### 4. Experience level of your surgeon Dr. Perez-Rosich is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and has been performing oral surgery since 2007. High-volume corporate practices, by design, lean on a mix of senior and earlier-career providers, and patients don't always know in advance which one they'll see. If you want to know exactly who is operating, ask directly before you book. ### 5. Front-desk culture This one sounds small. It isn't. The front desk decides whether you can get a same-day procedure when something hurts on Monday morning, whether your insurance question gets a real answer the first time, and whether your follow-up call goes to a human who knows your name. Our front desk accommodates same-day procedures when clinically appropriate, because the surgeon and the schedule are under one roof. ## How OMS Associates is set up We are one board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, two offices, and a team built around making complex procedures feel manageable. - **Southwest Ranches office:** 15661 Sheridan St, Southwest Ranches, FL 33331, (954) 693-0026 - **Kendall office:** 12002 SW 128th Ct Suite 103, Miami, FL 33186, (786) 210-6160 - Patient base: Southwest Ranches, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Weston, Pembroke Pines, Kendall, Doral, Coral Gables, and surrounding South Florida - Procedures we focus on: [wisdom teeth extraction](/wisdom-teeth-removal), [advanced dental implants](/dental-implants), [sinus lift and bone grafting](/sinus-lift), [exposure and bond for orthodontic patients](/exposure-and-bond) - Same surgeon from consult through follow-up - Same-day procedure scheduling when clinically appropriate ## When a DSO may actually be the right choice We don't think every patient should choose a private practice. If you need a single location for a whole family's routine cleanings, fillings, orthodontics, and the occasional extraction, and price sensitivity is your top priority, a well-run DSO can deliver that under one roof at a competitive cost. Where we believe an independent specialist makes a bigger difference is in surgical care. Pre-operative planning, anesthesia decisions, surgical execution, and post-operative recovery all benefit from one provider keeping the whole picture in their head. That's the case we're making, not that DSOs are wrong, but that the surgical chair is where continuity matters most. ## Five questions to ask any oral surgeon before you book Whether you end up at OMS Associates or somewhere else, these are the questions worth asking. The answers tell you what the next six months will feel like. 1. Will the same surgeon perform my consult, my procedure, and my follow-up appointments? 2. Are you board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery? 3. How long has the practice been operating, and who owns it? 4. How much time will be set aside for my procedure? 5. If something happens overnight after surgery, who do I call, and who answers? ## Frequently asked questions ### What does "non-DSO" actually mean for me as a patient? It means the person performing your surgery owns the practice. Treatment decisions, scheduling, and post-op support sit with one surgeon and one team rather than being routed through a corporate management layer. ### Is private practice oral surgery more expensive? Sometimes, and sometimes not. DSOs can offer lower prices on routine, high-volume procedures because of their scale. For complex surgical cases, the price gap often narrows or disappears once you factor in second opinions, redo procedures, and the time cost of multiple providers handing off your chart. ### How do I know if a South Florida oral surgeon is independent? Ask who owns the practice. If the person at the front desk hesitates or names a parent company you've never heard of, that's your answer. Independent practices will tell you the owner's name without thinking about it. ### Does OMS Associates accept my insurance? We work with most major dental and medical insurance plans. Call the office or use the contact form and we'll verify coverage before your consult so there are no surprises. ### Can I get a same-day wisdom teeth or implant consult? Often, yes, particularly if you're in pain. Same-day procedures are scheduled when clinically appropriate. Call the office and our front desk will tell you what's available today. ## Ready to talk? If you're weighing oral surgery in Broward or Miami-Dade and you'd rather have one surgeon than a rotating cast, we'd be glad to meet you. There's no pressure attached to a consult, you'll leave with a plan whether or not you book your procedure with us. **Call us:** 954-693-0026 • **Book online:** [omsassociates.com/book](/book) *Written by Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon practicing in Southwest Ranches and Kendall, Florida.* --- URL: https://www.omsassociates.com/wisdom-teeth-removal Title: Same-day wisdom teeth removal in South Florida # Same-day wisdom teeth removal in South Florida > **Quick answer:** Wisdom teeth removal is the surgical extraction of the third molars, typically performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation. At OMS Associates, board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich, DMD performs same-day extractions when clinically appropriate at the Southwest Ranches and Kendall offices in South Florida. Most procedures take 30–60 minutes; most patients return to school or work in 3 to 5 days. Most people don't plan months ahead to have their wisdom teeth out. A jaw aches on a Tuesday, an X-ray at a regular dental cleaning catches an impacted tooth, or a college student comes home for break with a deadline before the next semester. We built our wisdom teeth practice around how patients actually arrive, often with pain, on short notice, and wanting it handled by someone who has done thousands of these. At OMS Associates, Dr. Ramon Perez-Rosich performs wisdom teeth extractions in our Southwest Ranches and Kendall offices. When the case allows, we do same-day procedures so you don't lose a week to a separate consult and a separate surgery date. ## Who needs wisdom teeth removed? Not everyone. About a third of adults never need wisdom teeth removal, their teeth come in straight, leave room, and stay clean. The other two thirds run into one or more of the following: - Impaction: the tooth can't fully emerge because it's blocked by bone or another tooth - Crowding: the tooth pushes neighbors out of alignment, undoing orthodontic work - Decay or gum disease: partial eruption traps bacteria the toothbrush can't reach - Cysts or damage to nearby teeth - Recurrent pain or infection in the back of the mouth If your dentist or orthodontist has flagged any of these, an oral surgery consult is the next step. We'll review your panoramic X-ray, take a 3D scan if needed, and walk you through whether extraction is the right call. ## What "same-day" actually means It means we can complete your consult and your extraction in the same visit when the case is appropriate. Some cases qualify, some don't. Generally we can do same-day when: - Recent imaging is available, or we can take it on site - The roots aren't wrapped around a critical nerve - You've fasted appropriately if sedation will be used - You have a ride home after If any of those aren't in place, we'll schedule the surgery date, usually within days, not weeks. ## Anesthesia options Wisdom teeth can be removed under local anesthesia alone, local plus nitrous oxide, or IV sedation. Dr. Perez-Rosich will recommend the right level for your case, your age, and your comfort. Most patients with impacted teeth choose IV sedation; most patients with simple eruptions don't need it. If you're weighing sedation, our guide on [whether IV sedation is safe](/blog/is-iv-sedation-safe) explains how it works and how risk is managed. ## Recovery, the real timeline - **Day 1:** soft foods, ice, prescribed pain management. Most patients sleep most of the afternoon. - **Days 2–3:** peak swelling. This is normal. - **Days 4–7:** swelling subsides. Most patients return to work or school. - **Week 2:** routine post-op check. We'll confirm the sites are healing well. Recovery is faster than most people expect when the surgery is done by an experienced oral surgeon. The difference between a textbook recovery and a complication is often surgical technique. For a fuller day-by-day breakdown, see our guide to [wisdom teeth recovery time](/blog/wisdom-teeth-recovery-time). ## Why patients choose OMS Associates for wisdom teeth - Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon - Same surgeon performs the consult, the procedure, and the follow-up - Same-day extractions when clinically appropriate - Two locations: Southwest Ranches and Kendall - Direct front-desk callback: no national call center ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does wisdom teeth removal cost in South Florida? Cost varies by number of teeth, whether they're impacted, and which anesthesia is used. Insurance typically covers a portion. We'll give you a clear estimate before you decide. ### Will my insurance cover it? Most dental insurance plans cover medically necessary wisdom teeth extraction. Some medical plans also cover the surgical and anesthesia portions. Call us with your insurance details and we'll verify before the consult. ### Can I drive myself home? Yes if you have local anesthesia only. No if you have IV sedation. Arrange a ride either way, recovery is more comfortable when you don't have to drive. ### How long until I can eat normally? Soft foods for three to five days. Most patients are back to a full diet within two weeks. ## Ready to schedule? Call our Southwest Ranches office at 954-693-0026 or our Kendall office at 786-210-6160 to start.

For many patients it's a quick, routine step that rebuilds enough jawbone to support a dental implant. The part that surprises people is the timeline, the surgery itself is short, but the healing is a slow, mostly invisible process. Knowing what's happening underneath helps the wait make sense. ## Why a bone graft is needed When a tooth is lost or removed, the jawbone that once held it begins to shrink, a process called resorption. Months or years later, there may not be enough bone volume to anchor an implant securely. A bone graft adds material to that site and gives your body a scaffold to build new bone around. Common situations: - Long-standing tooth loss before planning a [dental implant](/dental-implants) - A socket preserved with graft material right after an extraction - A [sinus lift](/sinus-lift), which is a specific graft that adds bone height for upper-back implants ## What the graft material does A graft is not a permanent foreign object. It's a scaffold. Over the healing months, your own body gradually replaces the graft material with living bone. That biological replacement is exactly why healing can't be rushed, you're waiting on your body to build something real. ## The healing timeline ### First week Expect mild swelling, some tenderness, and minor bruising. This is the most active recovery period day to day. Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed or over-the-counter medication and are back to routine activity within a few days. - Eat soft, cool foods and chew away from the graft site - Avoid smoking, which significantly impairs bone healing - Don't poke or probe the area with your tongue or fingers - Keep the rest of your mouth clean as directed ### Weeks 2 to 4 The soft tissue over the graft closes and surface healing is largely done. You'll feel essentially normal. It's easy to assume the graft is "finished" here, but the important work, new bone formation, is just getting underway beneath the gum. ### Months 3 to 6 (and sometimes longer) This is the real healing phase. Inside the jaw, the scaffold is steadily being replaced by your own mature bone. Larger grafts and sinus lifts sit at the longer end of this window. Your surgeon confirms with imaging when the site is dense enough to place an implant. ## What's normal and what's not Normal in the first week: mild swelling, tenderness, small amounts of bruising, and occasionally a few tiny granules of graft material working loose near the surface. Call your surgeon if you notice: - Pain that worsens after the first few days instead of easing - Swelling that increases after day three, fever, or discharge - A significant amount of graft material coming away from the site - Bleeding that won't settle with gentle pressure These are uncommon, and early treatment makes them straightforward to manage. ## How to give the graft the best chance The graft heals best when it's left undisturbed. The biggest controllable factors are not smoking, eating softly and away from the site, following your rinsing instructions, and keeping your follow-up appointments so healing can be checked with imaging. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does a dental bone graft take to heal? Surface healing takes a couple of weeks, but full bone maturation generally takes 3 to 6 months, sometimes longer for larger grafts or sinus lifts. Your surgeon confirms readiness with imaging before placing an implant. ### Is a bone graft painful? Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort for the first few days, comparable to a tooth extraction, and manage it well with medication. The healing months that follow are typically not painful. ### Can I get an implant the same day as a bone graft? Sometimes. Smaller grafts can occasionally be done alongside implant placement, but many cases need the graft to heal first. Your surgeon decides based on how much bone is needed. ### What can disrupt bone graft healing? Smoking is the single biggest controllable risk, since it impairs blood supply to healing bone. Disturbing the site, poor oral hygiene, and uncontrolled medical conditions can also slow healing. ## Plan your treatment If you've been told you need a bone graft before an implant, we're glad to walk you through the plan and timeline. Call our Southwest Ranches office at 954-693-0026 or our Kendall office at 786-210-6160. --- URL: https://www.omsassociates.com/blog/dental-implant-cost-florida Title: Dental Implant Cost in Florida: What to Expect # Dental Implant Cost in Florida: What to Expect Cost is usually the first question patients ask about dental implants, and it's a fair one. The honest answer is that "a dental implant" isn't a single procedure with a single price, it's a treatment plan, and the plan is what determines the cost. This article explains what goes into that number so you can read a treatment estimate with confidence. ## What you're actually paying for A complete single-implant treatment has three distinct parts, and a quoted price may or may not include all of them: - **The implant**: the titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone - **The abutment**: the connector that links the implant to the crown - **The crown**: the visible, custom-made tooth that sits on top When you compare prices between practices, the most important question is which of these the quote covers. A low number that only includes the implant post isn't comparable to a number that covers the finished tooth. ## Typical cost ranges in South Florida These are general ranges for the Florida market. Your actual treatment plan will be priced precisely at your consult. - **Single implant, start to finish:** generally a few thousand dollars once the implant, abutment, and crown are included - **Bone graft, if needed:** an added cost when the jaw has lost volume after long-standing tooth loss - **Sinus lift, if needed:** an added cost for upper-back implants where the sinus limits available bone - **Full-arch reconstruction:** a substantially larger investment, since it replaces an entire row of teeth on multiple implants The reason ranges are wide is that no two mouths are the same. The planning stage is where the real number comes from. ## What drives the cost up or down - **Bone quality and quantity**: patients who need [bone grafting](/blog/dental-bone-graft-healing) or a [sinus lift](/sinus-lift) before placement will see those as separate line items - **Number of teeth**: replacing several teeth with an implant-supported bridge changes the math versus single implants - **Type of restoration**: the material and design of the final crown or prosthesis - **Anesthesia**: local anesthesia versus IV sedation - **Imaging and planning**: 3D scans for accurate placement ## Insurance and financing Dental insurance coverage for implants varies widely. Some plans cover a portion of the crown or the surgical procedure; many treat implants as elective and cover little. Medical insurance occasionally covers parts of the surgery when tooth loss is tied to trauma or a medical condition. Two practical points: 1. Ask the practice to verify your specific benefits before treatment, guessing helps no one. 2. Many practices, including ours, offer financing so the cost can be spread over time. ## Why the cheapest quote isn't always the best value A dental implant is meant to last decades. The cost of getting it placed correctly the first time, proper imaging, surgical planning, and an experienced oral surgeon, is small compared to the cost of correcting a poorly positioned implant later. When you compare quotes, compare what's included and who is doing the surgery, not just the bottom line. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a single dental implant cost in Florida? A complete single implant, post, abutment, and crown, typically runs into the low thousands of dollars. Added procedures like bone grafting raise that total. You'll get an exact figure in a written treatment plan at your consult. ### Does insurance cover dental implants in Florida? It depends entirely on your plan. Some dental plans cover part of the restoration; many classify implants as elective. We verify your benefits before you commit. ### Why are full-arch implants so much more expensive? A full-arch reconstruction replaces an entire row of teeth on four to six implants with a custom prosthesis, it's a much larger surgical and restorative undertaking than a single tooth. ### Can I finance dental implant treatment? Yes. Most practices offer financing options that let you spread the cost over months rather than paying it all upfront. ## Get a precise estimate The only way to know your real cost is a consult with imaging and a written treatment plan.

If your oral surgeon has recommended IV sedation, it's natural to pause on the word "sedation." It sounds bigger than it is. For the great majority of patients, IV sedation for oral surgery is very safe, and understanding how it works and how risk is managed usually settles the concern. ## What IV sedation actually is IV sedation delivers medication through a small line in a vein, producing a deeply relaxed, drowsy state. It is not general anesthesia. You are not on a ventilator, and you keep breathing on your own. Most patients describe it as a comfortable gap in time, the procedure simply seems to pass quickly, with little or no memory of it. The depth is adjustable. Because the medication is given through a vein, the surgeon can titrate it in real time to keep you at exactly the right level for the procedure. ## Why it's considered safe Several things make IV sedation a well-established, low-risk option in oral surgery: - **Continuous monitoring**: your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and blood-oxygen level are watched throughout - **Adjustable dosing**: the dose is tuned to you, in the moment, rather than fixed in advance - **Reversibility**: the effects of the medications can be reversed if needed - **Specialized training**: oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete dedicated anesthesia training as part of their residency, and the surgical team is trained to manage sedation The combination of trained personnel, monitoring, and the ability to adjust or reverse is what makes the safety record strong. ## Who IV sedation is right for IV sedation is commonly used for [wisdom teeth removal](/wisdom-teeth-removal), implant placement, and other procedures where comfort matters. It's especially helpful for: - Patients having impacted teeth removed - Patients with significant dental anxiety - Longer or more involved procedures - Patients with a strong gag reflex It isn't required for every case. Many straightforward procedures are done comfortably with local anesthesia alone, sometimes with nitrous oxide. ## How risk is screened and managed Safety starts before the procedure. Your surgeon reviews your medical history, current medications, and any past reactions to anesthesia. Certain conditions, some heart or lung issues, sleep apnea, pregnancy, call for extra planning or a different approach. This is why an honest, complete medical history matters. You'll also receive preparation instructions, most importantly fasting for a set number of hours beforehand and arranging a ride home. These aren't formalities, following them is part of what keeps sedation safe. ## What to expect afterward The medications wear off gradually. For the rest of the day you'll feel groggy, and your judgment and coordination aren't fully back. Plan to rest, don't drive, and avoid important decisions until the next day. Most patients feel normal again by the following morning. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is IV sedation the same as being put to sleep? No. IV sedation is a deep relaxation where you breathe on your own, distinct from general anesthesia. Most patients drift through the procedure and remember little of it, but it's a lighter state than full general anesthesia. ### What are the risks of IV sedation? Serious complications are rare. Minor, temporary effects like grogginess, nausea, or bruising at the IV site are more common. A thorough medical screening beforehand is how uncommon risks are kept low. ### Will I remember the procedure? Most patients have little or no memory of the procedure itself, which is part of why IV sedation is valued for anxious patients and longer surgeries. ### Do I need someone to drive me home? Yes. The medications affect coordination and judgment for the rest of the day, so a responsible adult must drive you home and ideally stay with you for a few hours. ## Discuss your options The right anesthesia depends on your procedure, your health, and your comfort. We'll review all of it with you at your consult.

The honest answer is that most people feel substantially better within a week, but recovery has distinct stages, and knowing what each one looks like makes the process far less stressful. This is the timeline we walk our patients through at OMS Associates. Your experience may run a day faster or slower depending on how many teeth were removed, whether they were impacted, and your own healing. ## The first 24 hours The first day is about clotting and rest. A blood clot forms in each socket, and protecting it is the single most important thing you can do, it's the foundation of healing. - Keep gauze in place with gentle pressure for the first hour or two - Use ice on the cheeks, 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off, to limit swelling - Stick to cool, soft foods and avoid straws, spitting, and smoking - Take pain medication before the anesthetic fully wears off Most patients sleep much of the afternoon. That's expected, especially after IV sedation. ## Days 2 to 3: peak swelling Counterintuitively, you often feel worse on day two or three than on day one. Swelling peaks here, and your cheeks may look puffy. Mild bruising along the jaw is normal. This is not a setback, it's the inflammatory phase doing its job. Switch from ice to gentle warm compresses after 48 hours to help the swelling resolve. Begin warm salt-water rinses, but let the water fall out of your mouth rather than spitting forcefully. ## Days 4 to 7: the turn This is when most patients feel the shift. Swelling subsides, pain becomes manageable with over-the-counter medication, and energy returns. Many people go back to work or school around day four or five, especially for desk-based jobs. You can begin reintroducing more substantial soft foods, pasta, eggs, soft fish, but stay away from anything crunchy, chewy, or small enough to lodge in a socket. ## Week 2: routine follow-up By the two-week mark, the gum tissue has closed over most of the socket and you're typically back to a normal diet. We see patients for a post-operative check around this time to confirm the sites are healing cleanly. Full bone healing underneath the gum continues quietly for several months, but it doesn't restrict you, by week two, recovery is functionally complete for most patients. ## When recovery isn't going to plan Call your surgeon if you notice: - Severe, throbbing pain that starts around day three to five: this can signal dry socket, where the clot is lost - Fever, or swelling that worsens after day three instead of improving - Bleeding that won't slow with gentle gauze pressure - A bad taste or discharge that doesn't resolve with rinsing These are uncommon, and they're very treatable when caught early. Recovery problems are far easier to manage than to ignore. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does wisdom teeth recovery take overall? Most patients return to normal daily activity within 3 to 5 days and a normal diet within about 2 weeks. Impacted-tooth surgery and IV sedation cases sit at the longer end of that range. ### When can I exercise after wisdom teeth removal? Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 3 to 4 days, since raised blood pressure can disturb the clot or restart bleeding. Light walking is fine sooner. ### How long should I take off work or school? Two to three days is enough for most desk-based work. Jobs involving heavy lifting or physical strain may need closer to a week. ### What slows recovery down the most? Smoking, drinking through straws, and forceful spitting are the biggest avoidable risks, all can dislodge the clot and trigger a painful dry socket. ## Talk to an oral surgeon If you're planning [wisdom teeth removal](/wisdom-teeth-removal) or recovering and unsure whether something is normal, our team is happy to help.
