ARIZONA ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS (AZOMS) TO OPEN IN RANCHO SAHUARITA

ARIZONA Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AZOMS) is proud to announce expansion into the Rancho Sahuarita community. AZOMS is the longest standing oral and maxillofacial surgery practice in Southern Arizona and has been serving the greater Tucson community since 1971. AZOMS is pleased to provide oral surgical care to patients requiring a variety of oral health care needs. AZOMS doctors are board-certified specialists, who provide services such as dental implants, bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, facial trauma repair, jaw surgery, comprehensive anesthesia services, among other surgical procedures as experts in face, mouth and jaw surgery.

Many people wonder, “What is the difference between my general dentist and a dental specialist such as an oral surgeon?” Oral and maxillofacial surgeons go through an additional 4-6 years of additional surgical training in a hospital-based residency, beyond the 4 years of dental school that a general dentist completes. During this training, oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive training in a broad scope of surgery, including training in trauma, facial cosmetic procedures, complex facial surgical reconstruction, and extensive dental implant and wisdom tooth extraction training. In addition, oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive extensive training in the safe delivery of general anesthesia.

AZOMS’ surgeons, Dr. Nicholas Coles, Dr. Negin Saghafi, Dr. Robert Wood, and Dr. Jerome Holbrook, have several decades of combined experience. The doctors pride themselves on staying current with the latest technological advances in a rapidly evolving specialty. AZOMS has continued to be leaders in the local dental community, providing continuing education to our dental colleagues, and headlining the Tucson Dental Implant Academy, to enhance the education and quality of dental care within the Tucson dental community. “Same day dental implants” have become a standard procedure at AZOMS. Patient’s come to them with a tooth or teeth that need to be replaced, and quite often dental implants can be placed the same day. This can be as few as one tooth that needs to be replaced, or can be a full set of teeth to be replaced, many times in a single surgical appointment! As dental specialists, the doctors at AZOMS work with your general dentist, to be your dentist’s specialist for any specialized surgical procedures you may need. Each of their offices are equipped with the most advanced technological equipment, including 3D cone beam CT scanners, and intraoral digital scanners.

AZOMS also has a rich history of giving back to the communities which they serve. For each of the past 7 years, AZOMS has provided its annual “second chance” program to provide a full arch dental implant replacement for individuals who could not otherwise afford such a procedure. AZOMS also provides its “wisdom for wisdom” program to provide prospective college students with free wisdom teeth extractions in order to offset the everincreasing costs of education.

Dr. Coles spoke of programs such as these saying: “We feel it is important to give back to the communities we serve, and we are proud to offer these and other programs to the Southern Arizona communities we serve.”

He also shared about their upcoming opening, inviting area residents to their Community Open House at the new office (located at 16045 S. Rancho Sahuarita Blvd.) on Thursday, November 17th, 2022 from 2:30 – 7:30 p.m. The event is open to the public.

“We look forward to meeting you and showing you what we do at AZOMS!” 
