Registered Specialists in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Stephen Goth, Dr. James Olsen and Dr. Shawn Higashi are Registered Specialists in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Alberta. They are Fellows of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada. The main focus of their practice is the safe and comfortable removal of impacted wisdom teeth and the surgical placement of dental implants. Their scope of practice also includes corrective jaw surgery and bone grafting procedures, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of facial injuries and oral pathology.
Dr. Goth, Dr. Olsen and Dr. Higashi have been trained in IV anesthesia techniques and emergency care. In our outpatient surgery facility we often work with Medical Anesthesiologists to maximize patient comfort. At your initial consultation, the Oral Surgeon will discuss which anesthesia options are appropriate for your case.
Our clinic has been specifically designed to provide sedation and general anesthesia. Our facility has been fully inspected and accredited as a Non-Hospital Surgical Facility/Dental Surgical Facility by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta and the Alberta Dental Association & College.
Our staff members are trained in assisting with IV Sedation and General Anesthesia, and our doctors and nurses are certified in CPR, ACLS, and PALS.
