Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dental specialists, Dr. Goodove, Dr. Zagursky and Dr. Green manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions.
You may not have anything to eat or drink (including water) for eight (8) hours prior to the appointment. A responsible adult must accompany the patient to the office, remain in the office during the procedure, and drive the patient home. The patient should not drive a vehicle or operate any machinery for 24 hours following the anesthesia experience.
The removal of impacted teeth is a serious surgical procedure. Post-operative care is very important. Unnecessary pain and the complications of infection and swelling can be minimized if the instructions are followed carefully. Restrict your activities the day of surgery and resume normal activity when you feel comfortable.
After tooth extraction, its important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. That's why we ask you to bite on a gauze pad for 30-45 minutes after the appointment. If the bleeding or oozing still persists, place another gauze pad and bite firmly for another 30 minutes.
Some bleeding or redness in the saliva is normal for 24 hours. Excessive bleeding (your mouth fills up rapidly with blood) can be controlled by biting on a gauze pad placed directly on the bleeding wound for 30 minutes. If bleeding continues please call for further instructions. Swelling is a normal occurrence after surgery.

My son was referred to Dr. Goodove by his dentist to have all four of his wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Goodove and staff took really good care of my son. Even with a minor mixup between pharmacies for my son's post surgery meds, Dr. Goodove quickly responded and everything was straightened out. Thank you Dr. Goodove and team. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Goodove is the best! I had 4 teeth removed with one being infected and didn't even need a pain pill. I followed the instructions and had no problems. The staff is efficient and professional in every way. This is the best place to go and don't mind driving 45 minutes because I trust the quality care. Thank you Dr. Goodove and staff for your care and patience with me.

Everyone in the office is professional, helpful, and polite. I was a little anxious and Dr Goodove was patience and explained everything. Years ago he did my daughter's wisdom teeth and we had a great experience then too. I will use them if I have any future incidents and refer anyone I know to them.

My experience with Dr. Goodove has been excellent. I am in the third stage of a multi-visit procedure and have been very impressed with each trip to his office so far. I expect the rest of my dental operation will go every bit as smoothly. I would certainly recommend Dr. Goodove for anyone who needs dental surgery.

Dr Goodove is a wonderful surgeon. Very Very professional and makes sure his patients are comfortable and relaxed before he starts the procedure. His staff is also very pleasant and professional when taking and taking our information. I Highly recommend Dr Goodove to anyone who needs to have dental work done.

My orthodontist provided me a referral to Dr. Goodove to have my wisdom teeth removed. The experience at this office was fabulous! All of the staff were so friendly, supportive, and helpful. On my initial visit to discuss the removal they walked me through the procedure step by step and helped me select the past plan for myself. On the day of the surgery, everything went amazing.
It was honestly easier than receiving a filling in my opinion. After leaving, I had a small concern with some bleeding and was able to get a hold of them immediately for assistance. Overall, I do not have a single complaint and would highly recommend this oral surgeon to anyone!

The surgeon is doing much better with communicating with patient instead of just coming in working and leaving. This was my last visit here but I could see a great improvement in his interaction with me. His assistant was wonderful and made me feel comfortable he was attentive to my pain and asked how I was doing throughout. He actually smiled and had a little small talk which Mia much different than a year ago when I started here.
They are moving in the right direction. Now to fix the decor to make it more bright and inviting. Also make sure the waiting room isn't freezing. My experience this time was as good as it's ever been. Thumbs up!

Dr Goodove extracted a tooth from my nephew's upper jaw. My nephew was in considerable pain and we were desperate to get it taken care of. I was able to get an quick appointment with our referral. The whole team was professional and best of all caring and friendly. The procedure was completed quickly and painlessly! Dr Goodove is just the best! There has been no trauma, minimal pain, no swelling after the procedure. I am so grateful to Dr Goodove! If you want the very best oral surgeon then he is definitely your man!

What can I say? I am not a fan of the dentist, hence the reason I had to go to Goodove Oral Surgery. They were fantastic! Jackie made me feel comfortable and relaxed (for the most part). My only nerves were from her kind conversation and knowing I had to leave. My surgeon was fast and I didn't feel anything, other than the normal pushing pressure. They followed up with me to make sure I was ok and having no complications. If I need anything else done, I will request them again!
