What Is an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a dentist who has completed an additional 4–6 years of hospital-based residency training beyond dental school, with rotations in medicine, surgery, intensive care, ENT, and anesthesia.

This training gives them the skills to safely treat complex conditions involving the mouth, jaw, and face.

Why Choose a Specialist?

Some treatments — like wisdom teeth, implants, and surgical extractions — benefit from the additional training an oral & maxillofacial surgeon receives.

Dr. Weinstock completed a full hospital-based residency in oral & maxillofacial surgery and holds two advanced credentials:

  • Specialist (מומחה) — recognized by the Israeli Ministry of Health
  • Board Certified — American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS), under the AAOMS

This combination reflects extensive surgical training in both countries, helping ensure safe, predictable care.

FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about oral and maxillofacial surgery, surgical treatments, anaesthesia options, recovery, and treatment planning. This information is designed to help you understand the process, ease concerns, and make an informed and confident decision before treatment.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery focuses on surgical care of the mouth, jaws, and facial structures. You should see a specialist when a procedure is complex or involves important anatomical areas, such as impacted wisdom teeth near major nerves, dental implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, exposure of impacted teeth, or evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders.
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a dentist who has completed a formal, accredited multi‑year hospital residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This residency includes extensive training in anesthesia, facial trauma, pathology, complex extractions, bone grafting, dental implants, and surgical management of the jaws and facial structures. It is important for patients to know that terms like “oral surgeon” or “dental surgeon” are sometimes used by clinicians who have not completed this residency. These titles can be confusing, so patients should always verify the provider’s official specialty certification and training background. Choosing a surgeon with recognized residency training ensures that complex procedures are performed safely and predictably.

Board Certification (through the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons) is a voluntary rigorous credentialing process that goes beyond basic licensing. It requires passing extensive written and oral examinations, a peer review of surgical case logs, and ongoing recertification to maintain the credential over time. Because it’s voluntary, holding it is a meaningful signal that a surgeon has chosen to be evaluated against a national professional standard, rather than simply meeting the minimum requirement to practice. as an oral & maxillofacial surgeon.  Dr. Weinstock is Board Certified in the United States, in addition to being a recognized specialist in Israel.

The title of “specialist” in Israel is an official recognition granted by the Ministry of Health, awarded after review of a physician’s training and successful completion of examinations administered by the Scientific Council. It’s a legally protected designation — not every dentist who performs oral & maxillofacial procedures necessarily holds it — confirming that a physician’s qualifications meet Israel’s national standard for the specialty.
Most procedures, including wisdom tooth removal, implant placement, bone grafting, and minor jaw surgery, can be performed safely and comfortably in a clinic setting. Modern equipment and techniques allow for hospital‑level care in the office. What matters most is that the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon.
Our clinic offers local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and oral sedation for patients who need a higher level of relaxation. We plan to expand our services in the future to include additional sedation options.
Most patients experience only mild and temporary discomfort. With proper care, medication, and clear post‑operative instructions, recovery is usually smooth and manageable. A supportive environment and an experienced surgeon contribute significantly to a comfortable healing process.
Dental implants are suitable for most patients missing one or more teeth. Certain medical conditions, such as active gum disease, smoking, or systemic health issues, may require additional evaluation. After a thorough examination and imaging, we can determine the safest and most effective treatment plan.
A personalized treatment plan is developed after a clinical examination, advanced imaging such as CBCT scans, and a detailed understanding of the patient’s medical history, functional needs, and aesthetic goals.
We combine deep professional expertise with extensive surgical experience, delivered through a calm, clear, and supportive approach that guides patients before, during, and after every procedure.
