I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed during 1 procedure and it was perfectly fine. Dr Tate did a great job, no pain, no dry socket, was very responsive with me excessively calling with questions they had already answered.
Michelle and Heather at the front desk were very helpful also! ^^
Overall a great experience as someone with anxiety around dentistry in general.

I highly recommend Dr. Tate and his staff. They removed my son's wisdom teeth. They were both professional and caring during and after the procedure and he had great results. Dr. Tate's expertise and experience as well as his staff's kind and helpful manner were what made this a very positive experience.

I am a repeat patient of Oral & Facial Surgery Group of East Texas and I couldn't be more happy with the entire experience at their office,. From the consultation visit to the actual day of surgery, everything was so pleasant and easy. The staff is great and Dr. Tate made sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend using this office.

I had 2 wisdom teeth with curved roots surgically removed. I had zero pain during or after the procedure. I didn’t even have to take any pain medication while healing. The staff is friendly and caring and Dr. Tate is amazing. Highly recommend!!

I went in for a consult the first week of March, they examined everything and help me determine the best next steps. The following week I was back for my extractions. 10 of them. The staff were amazing dealing with anxiety and it was 100% painless. Here I am a week later and Dr. Tate has taken his time on Saturday night to text me about something I thought was a complication, he reviewed via pictures and stated I was likely ok but just come in to check. Service is top notch, the care is incredible, and if I ever had to go somewhere again it would definitely be here!
