We are honored that you have selected our office for your oral surgery needs, and we are excited to meet you. It shouldn't be like pulling teeth to persuade your family, or even yourself, to go see an oral surgeon when there are dental issues. Our goal at Mid-Michigan Oral Surgery is to work with each of our patient's needs and expectations, whether it is removing teeth or placing a dental implant to restore your dentition. Our team is here to help you establish and maintain good oral health so that going to the dentist never has to be painful.
Services
Dr. Mark Beckman joined the practice in 1995, and Dr. Vincent Benivegna joined soon after in 1997, following retirement of the practice's founders. To meet the growing demand, Dr. Sean Pack joined our team in 2019. Dr.'s Beckman, Benivegna, and Pack continued to uphold the vision and standards set forth by their predecessors.
At Mid-Michigan Oral Surgery, our doctors strive to care for all of your oral surgery needs. Our desire to offer our patients state-of-the-art maxillofacial surgery, with an emphasis on implant surgery and extractions, continues to remain strong after 45 years in mid-Michigan. For your convenience, a complete list of our oral surgery services is provided below.
For your comfort, we offer several different anesthesia options including local anesthetic, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and IV sedation. Prior to your procedure, our team will review your medical history and discuss your concerns to determine the best type of anesthetic to use for your surgery. Local anesthetic is a medication that causes the absence of pain sensation and is injected into the surgical site prior to the procedure. There are no eating restrictions prior to the use of local anesthetic and you are able to drive yourself home after your procedure.
A dental implant is a biocompatible, man-made substitute that replaces missing tooth roots. Usually made of the space-age alloy titanium, implants come in various shapes and sizes to fit your mouth. Your Lansing implant dentist will place these cylindrical bars into bone allowing them to lay undisturbed while the bone heals around them, locking them in like an anchor.

I just had my wisdom teeth pulled today. I was pretty surprised by how little communication happened at my appointment; as soon as I sat in the chair, they were small talking each other while they were hooking me up to their machines. I had a very brief conversation with a surgeon about information on my registration form, and I was VERY surprised that no one made a comment about this being my first surgery where I'm administered anesthesia (I wasn't able to get a consultation, as my teeth were already impacted and my dentist urged me to get them removed as soon as I could).
My friends all described to me a distinct point where their anesthesiologist let them know when they were administering the gas ("count down from ten" or "are you ready?") - I was in the middle of a small-talk conversation with him about my studies when I got knocked out. I wound up having a very negative reaction to the anesthesia. Had a pretty bad anxiety attack, and I don't get those often.
Couldn't breathe, uncontrollable crying, shaking knees. These side affects didn't subside until hours after I got home. This was my first ever surgical operation, and I'll say, I'm pretty surprised and disappointed by the experience. The experience was pretty traumatizing for me and my family that went, and I don't think I'll be following up with them.
You would think that a team of healthcare professionals who are performing an operation on you would at least make an effort to inform you of the process, give information as they're prepping and avoid surprising their patient. I could probably find better healthcare at ACE Hardware - I don't recommend this clinic to anyone.

Had my wisdom teeth removed today and the experience was smooth and easy. I went in with a lot of anxiety about the procedure and concerns about my asthma but Dr. Beckman and the staff were understanding and walked me through each step of the procedure. I opted for just IV sedation rather than laughing gas, and it was incredibly helpful to be concious of what was happening as the doctor continued to let me know what he was doing throughout the procedure. Incredibly thankful for how this office made a very anxious experience as calm, quick, and pain free as possible.

The worst office staff I have ever encountered. They charged us for x-rays they insisted we had to have for insurance and then forgot to send them in. I had to call them multiple times because they would not/could not seem to work with my insurance company and I had to be the middleman. The office staff are short and condescending with their patients and do not give all of the information you need.
Simple questions are treated with impatience, disdain and derision. I think they forget that most of their clients do not work in the industry. I dealt with this not only on the phone with them but saw it first hand with other clients while waiting in their office. The oral surgeon we met with was nice but we will not be back.

My son had all four wisdom teeth taken out just over a week ago. My experience with this office is great. I had reschedule 3 times due to a different health issue my son was dealing with, they were courteous and understanding each time. Dr. Pack made my son feel at ease. They listened to my concerns and answered my follow up questions. My son experienced some minor discomfort, nothing the ibuprofen and Tylenol couldn't handle. He had no bruising or swelling, but we did follow the aftercare instructions very closely. I will be bringing my daughter here when she needs her wisdom teeth out as well.

I had 3 teeth extracted from here at the beginning of August 2020 (2 impacted wisdom teeth and a molar destroyed by one of the impactions). I am low income with no dental insurance, so I had to pay a steep price out of pocket. After paying upfront before the procedure even took place I found out I was overcharged. While they did send me a refund for a few hundred dollars, it has now been a month & a half and I am having complications.
I did everything right to take care of my sockets and blood clots, but now I have sharp pieces of bone or tooth sticking out of my otherwise healed gum. I do not have the funds to go back and get the shards removed, so now I am stuck trying to pull these shards out with a tweezer. It is horrific because it is large enough that it actually looks like a new tooth is growing in.
I was never warned that something like this could happen, never told if they left in broken pieces of bone or tooth. It just goes to show that Dr. Beckman did a rush job during my procedure. I feel like my trust was broken when I had no where else to turn.

I had four teeth extracted today as a result of my braces treatment. Everyone in the office was very friendly and professional. Mark Beckman performed my actual extractions, and he was wonderful! He thoroughly explained what was happening every step of the way, continued to make sure I was comfortable - and really just made it as positive of an experience as it could be. 11/10 would recommend.

Poor customer service. I understand we have a pandemic to manage, but that shouldn't be an excuse for poor customer service. I received a voicemail on Friday about my daughter's wisdom teeth surgery today, but because the office is closed on Fridays, I had no way to speak to anyone in the office and ask questions. When we got there, it took some time for them to rework payment since it had been over a year since our last visit when that could have been done before we got there.
Then I'm made to sit in my car and burn my gas, after they had already taken me into the waiting room, gotten my temperature and payment of course. I'm told to park in the handicap spot for them to bring out my daughter to the parking lot post surgery. I was never given any oral instructions on how to care for her after the surgery. Just a piece of paper. They need new management or a better way to explain things to people.

If I could give a Zero for communication I would. My daughter had an appointment last Friday, granted we were 10 minutes last but i called to inform the office about us arriving a few minutes late. When we arrived we wee turned away, the receptionist said we had to reschedule because we were 10 minutes late. She never checked the voicemail because if she did she would have called to inform us that we would have to reschedule.
I was furious! I work in an office that have a 15 minute grace period, an i was very offended bein that I work in a dentist office as well. Needless to say we were never informed prior to scheduling that if we were 10 minutes late we would be reschedule. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND VERY RUDE STAFF! NEVER GO HERE THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU THEY WILL TURN YOU AWAY AFTER 10 MINUTES!
