Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons (OMS) are men and women who have graduated from 

dental school with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD)

degree.   They have trained an additional four to six years in a hospital setting along with

medical interns, residents and fellows in various disciplines of medicine and surgery.  A

significant amount of the OMS resident's training is spent on medical and surgical rotations

in areas such as internal medicine, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, neurosurgery,

cardiology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, general surgery, pulmonary medicine, radiology

and  trauma surgery.  The OMS resident who completes the six year residency also gets a

Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree.  All OMS are trained to treat a wide range of oral and facial

conditions.  Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are highly regarded by their medical and dental

colleagues alike.  

You can rest assured that your TSOMS OMS member is held to a high peer-review standard. 

All TSOMS OMS members have to pass an anesthesia inspection to ensure that you are 

treated appropriate to your needs .
