Health & Wellness Oral Surgeon Dumaguete

You may not have luck finding a true oral and maxillofacial surgeon in this small town. A quick check in google defaults to dentists when searching, not the specialty of dentistry you are looking for. When you can get to Cebu, Dr. Sia has his practice in Chong Hua hospital. May be the real thing. May be only good option.

I'm not sure why you referenced my post?
Generally I don't slag off the medical professionals here but since you mentioned a few I'll comment.
The Ong clinic gave me a price to repair my screwed up dental implants without even taking an x-ray. So they were scratched off my list in a heartbeat.
Chung Hua took a 5000 peso CT scan/x-ray and then came up with a sketchy plan where they would try something. If that failed......and on and on.
Dr Cordeta looked at the CT scan/x-ray and pointed out a massive sinus infection from 2 implants that intruded into the sinus cavity. That infection had to be corrected before anything could be done. There was bone loss around the implants due to infection. Chung Hua wanted to stuff some implant material to make up for the missing bone. The implant material never would have integrated into the jaw.
Chung Hua has many dentists so possibly you had a different person.
As with everything here: milage may vary and terms and conditions may apply.

 

You are correct; that was not the right post to reference, my mistake. No comment on the rest as you did not provide any new information as requested as to where to find an oral surgeon.

You are absolutely correct I didn't provide any new information on where to find an oral surgeon.
What I did provided was a heads up to some of the less than competent members of the proffession.

 

In the US that is probably true. I know in Canada my wisdom teeth were impacted and I had to be hospitalised using the service of an oral surgeon. My friend had a simple wisdom teeth extraction at a dentsit specialized in that work. I'm not sure if dentists here go out and get "specialist" qualification for doing implants and root canals. From what other people tell me about my first dentist is he has trouble pulling a tooth. Total incompetence.
Good Luck

 

I have been to the dentist many times but never had the inclination to wear earrings. I wasn’t aware of this as being an issue for dental patients who wear earrings, but as an engineer I would have thought that if there was so much x-ray leakage that it would heat up metal if I “were” to wear it, I would definitely never agree to have x- rays performed by that dentist.

This dentist specializes in budget dental work for lower income patients and does not have an xray machine on site... We went to 4 or 5 dentists for work on my Asawa including a botched root canal that had to be pulled ... if going to Cebu is not a problem then look up Green Apple dentistry https://www.facebook.com/GreenAppleAyala/?rf=286874581363911 might be the answer.. they are located close to hotels and shopping so there is that
