Phenomenal painless tooth extractions with moderate sedation. Post operative pain controlled with hydrocodone, Tylenol and ice packs. Ten days post operative I’m able to chew with minimal to no discomfort. Looking forward to implant placement in 3-4 months after bone graft and gum has healed. Long process but well worth replacing failed porcelain caps which continually fall off despite rebonding.

The Institute of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice of Dr. Frank E. Scarbrough, located in Pooler, Georgia. The practice provides a broad range of oral and facial surgical care including wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, tooth extractions, bone grafting, corrective jaw surgery, oral pathology, facial trauma care, impacted teeth exposure, pre-prosthetic surgery, jaw joint (TMJ) treatment, 3D imaging and anesthesia options. It serves patients across Chatham County, Effingham County and surrounding communities, including Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Garden City and Port Wentworth.
For patients considering dental implants, the practice describes implant placement as a team effort between the oral surgeon and your general dentist. Dr. Scarbrough performs the implant surgery, along with any tooth extraction or bone grafting that may be needed, and your dentist makes the temporary and permanent replacement teeth. The office notes that healing time after implants are placed varies from person to person depending on the quality and quantity of bone, and that several follow-up visits and X-rays may be needed during the healing process. Dr. Scarbrough advises each patient on follow-up care and the timing of healing.
The practice's surgeon is Dr. Frank E. Scarbrough, DMD, FACOMS. Dr. Scarbrough earned a Bachelor of Arts from Mercer University in 1989 and his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia in 1993. He completed an internship in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Louisiana State University Medical Center in 1994, a four-year oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the Medical College of Georgia in 1997, and served as Chief Resident there in 1998 before opening his own oral surgery practice in 1999. The practice's website states that he is a member of the American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Georgia Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
