Dr. Gardner extracted all 4 of my (impacted!) wisdom teeth 3 weeks ago and the experience was excellent from start to finish! Everyone I spoke to at every step of the process was very kind and understanding. I was so nervous, but they were very patient with me and answered all my questions. A few days after the procedure I was forming a dry socket and they worked me in right away to take a look. They placed a medicated pack that took care of the pain almost instantly! I haven't had any issues since then but I know if I had, they would be there to help. Every step of the way I felt respected and well cared for. I am so grateful to every member of the staff! Thank you all!

A few years back I went in and had a growth removed from the roof of my mouth. I was told the recovery was going to be awful however it was quite the opposite, I had a painless and quick recovery. I recently had 3 wisdom teeth removed and also had a very similar experience, the staff was kind and professional and they kept me very comfortable up to the surgery. Dr. Dymon and his staff were incredible

I had a great experience getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth out. The staff were nice and took their time explaining the procedure. I was worried about my IV because my veins are small and most nurses have to try more than once to get blood or a IV started. When I explained this to Dr.Gardner he understood and made sure to find the best vein he could. I didn't feel a thing when he started the IV and the surgery went quickly and smoothly. I have no complaints and would recommend Dr Gardner and this place for a wisdom teeth removal. Thank you.

I’m currently a little over 1 month post OP from my wisdom teeth removal. I had all 4 removed by Dr. Gardner, the staff and him were excellent. Incisions were clean and small, almost no pain afterwards and smooth recovery with no complications. Highly recommend this place for a smooth surgery and highly recommend Dr. Gardner.

First of all all my life I've had dental anxiety. After getting an infection in a cracked tooth and needed another tooth extracted I was referred here to Dr Gardner. 10/28/22 after having a consultation a week prior I chose to be sedated and the procedure was done in under 30 minutes. Phenomenal is an understatement of how smooth it went. Receptionists and Staff are Amazing as well. I highly recommend any and everyone to this BEAUTIFUL professional office and Dr. Gardner. I thank God for them for making it so easy with ZERO pain.

About Virginia Oral & Facial Surgery
Virginia Oral & Facial Surgery is an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice with seven offices across the greater Richmond, Virginia area, including this location at 7481 Right Flank Road, Suite 120 in Mechanicsville. The practice offers the full scope of oral surgery, from wisdom tooth removal and dental implant procedures to bone grafting and facial reconstruction, and also diagnoses and treats TMJ (jaw joint) disorders. The Mechanicsville office is open Monday through Friday, with hours starting at 8:00 AM most days.
For patients considering dental implants, the practice's surgeons place single stage implants, which do not require a second procedure to uncover them, and in some situations an implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction. Related services described on the practice's website include bone grafting for implants, implant supported overdentures, and treatment options for patients missing all of their upper or lower teeth. The oral surgeons perform the implant surgery, extractions, and any needed bone grafting, then work with your restorative dentist, who makes the final replacement teeth. Online patient registration and appointment requests are available through the practice's website.
