Background Information

Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires many additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school in a hospital based approved Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Russell Bass manages a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. Dr. Bass practices a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery. This also includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries, pathology of the mouth and jaws and facial, jaw, and teeth fractures.

Dr. Bass has over 20 years of anesthesia experience and maintains his Advanced Cardiac Life Support training. Dr. Bass’ offices have also received their certificates from the Texas Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for Emergency and Office Anesthesia Evaluation. Our staff is trained in assisting with Intravenous (IV) sedation or outpatient general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art office setting. Patients are continuously monitored during and after surgery.
