Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I go straight to an oral surgeon without a referral?
Yes. Cherry Creek Oral Surgery sees self-referred patients from across Denver every day. Many come directly for wisdom teeth, implants or a painful broken tooth. If you were referred by a dentist or orthodontist, bring their notes and X-rays and we will coordinate your care with them.
What is the difference between an oral surgeon and a dentist?
A general dentist completes dental school. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon completes dental school plus a four- to six-year hospital surgical residency that includes anesthesia, trauma and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Nesiba also earned an MD during his six-year residency at the Detroit Medical Center and is triple board-certified.
How much does oral surgery cost in Denver?
It varies widely by procedure. Published market averages range from a few hundred dollars for a simple extraction to several thousand for implants, bone grafting or jaw surgery. These are averages, not our fees. We are in-network with most major dental plans and offer financing, and Dr. Nesiba gives an exact written quote after your exam. book a consultation to get yours.
Is oral surgery risky?
Serious complications are uncommon when surgery is performed by a board-certified oral surgeon with medical training. Dr. Nesiba is an MD and DDS with ACLS and PALS certification, performs more than 2,000 sedation cases a year, and holds privileges at several Denver-area hospitals. Risks specific to your procedure are reviewed in detail before you consent.
Will I be put to sleep for oral surgery?
Most surgical procedures at our Denver office are done under IV sedation administered by Dr. Nesiba, so you are comfortably asleep and remember little. Local anesthesia and nitrous oxide are also available for simpler procedures. You will need a driver on the day of sedation.
