Connecticut Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Centers

Dental Implants

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence. 

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. The pressure from the erupting wisdom teeth may move other teeth and disrupt the alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom teeth. Early removal is recommended to avoid such future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure. 

Oral Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, the doctors manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. Our doctors practice 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, and fractures.

I needed a painful wisdom tooth extracted! The office was very accommodating by giving me a prompt appointment! I’ve been to this office many times, however, I never had Dr. Hoang . All the doctors are great, but I was very impressed by Dr. Hoang. He was personable and very capable! I didn’t even realize that he had my tooth out! No pain! He was wonderful!! I highly recommend him, as well as this office!!

Dr. Hoang performed my wisdom teeth removal (all four) 2 weeks ago and I’m feeling so grateful with how smooth the whole procedure and recovery went! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I was very nervous for weeks leading up to the surgery, but it went SO much better than expected and everything healed properly. I would recommend Dr. Hoang to anyone, and I already have to my family and friends! Thank you to everyone in the West Haven office.

I was very nervous about having my lower right wisdom tooth removed, because it had been causing me sensitivity issues for over a year, and I have had issues with other dentists getting that area numb enough to work on. I told Dr. Berkley about my feelings, and he magically removed it, without any pain at all!! I didn't even realize he pulled it, because he didn't tell me, and he must have been extremely graceful!! THANKS to him and his staff, I'm toothless now in my wisdom area.

I was put at ease & treated with great care. As a person desperately fears the dentist, my experience here was 5 star in every catagory especially Dr. Brocher.

My 15 year-old daughter was quite anxious about getting a few teeth extracted. Dr. Boucher was incredibly kind and patient, reassuring her that her feelings were normal. She talked her through what to expect. Emily, the nurse was also helpful and even held my daughter's hand through it. My daughter raved about the process and their competence and kindness. The entire office staff was helpful and professional. Great experience!

I went for my wisdom teeth removal on sept 1 2021, Lori I was really nervous about feeling the shots so I got laughing gas given to me and at first I didn’t feel it but then I started to feel very calm and my body went numb in a good way don’t want to scare anyone then I got numbing gel and when doctor Claiborne gave me the shots in my mouth I didn’t even feel it they just felt like pinches but it didn’t hurt it was was more uncomfortable but I zoned out when they were putting the shots in and done back in all I felt was pressure no pain I was done with my procedure within 30 mins I’d say or less I have the most awesome experience don’t be afraid I was sooo afraid cause of what I read online but dr. Claiborne And Lori are the best I even got medicine afterwards for my teeth and a certificate and a little bag telling me about after care and it had extra gauze in it :))))

As a new patient scared and in pain the overall rating for this staff and office is beyond measurable. They were polite, helpful even when it came not understanding some of the medical questions the girls at the front desk were helpful as well as the nurses in the back. Doctor Berkley was exactly what his reputation brought him to be, helpful honest and incredible work and I did not feel any pain. This office is definitely a place I'd recommend to family or even my own mother. Definitely grateful for all of their help and compassion behind what they do. Thank you again and don't hesitate, you're in pain get in there it will be well worth it. Thanks again to everyone at the west haven office.

I saw Dr. Sayles today for an extraction. I was very nervous but the assistants were very kind and helped me relax. Dr. Sayles was excellent, he explained my situation and made me feel at ease. Before I knew it my tooth was removed, my anticipation of the appointment was far worse than my experience. I have not even needed any pain medication. So relieved, Great Dental Team...

I was very scared and in pain going in for an extraction after being referred from another dentist . The receptionist who took my call was amazing and understood I couldn’t wait for this broken tooth to come out. She booked me the first spot of the day the next day. The assistant was wonderful and I was so nervous . The Dr. Numbed me up very well with only three pokes in the mouth and some gas. Closed my eyes counted to ten he was done. I was amazed . I literally cried tears of relieve and gratitude. Thank you so much to everyone who works at the New Britain office!!!

I received excellent care! Dr. Berkly was very kind, funny and professional in explaining the process of the procedure which helped tremendously to ease my anxiety about removing my wisdom teeth. With nurse Jackie’s help, Dr. Berkly removed three of my wisdom teeth. He was gentle and quick with the removal and the quality of his work testifies to his skill and experience as a surgeon. I felt close to no pain after the surgery! Though he prescribed pain medicine, I didn’t need it. For the first two days after surgery I took over the counter 200 mg Advil to alleviate some discomfort and that was all! Thank you Dr. Berkly for making what would have been a stressful and uncomfortable time, a painless one!

I had an infected wisdom tooth extracted. April was amazing. Dr. Berkley was knowledgeable, experienced, detailed, extremely informative, and answered all questions. He was finished so quickly just like a pro. He is the epitome of a perfect doctor. I highly recommend. I gave 4 stars on staff bc the front desk can be a bit more humble and smile a bit, it makes a huge difference on how the front desk staff greets and treats patients anywhere. A bit of kindness goes a long way way. Again I would highly recommend as the doctor and staff in the back are top notch! Also the office if very clean.
