Oral Surgeon Near Bernalillo, NM

We understand that undergoing any surgical procedure can make patients anxious or nervous, which is why we offer various anesthesia options for our Bernalillo patients. Dr. Steel has extensive training and experience in anesthesia administration, ensuring your comfort and safety during any procedure.

Depending on your specific needs and the complexity of your treatment, we may recommend local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), IV sedation, or general anesthesia.

During your consultation, we'll discuss which option is most appropriate for your individual case and answer any questions you may have about the anesthesia process.

We strive to accommodate our Bernalillo patients as promptly as possible, especially those experiencing dental emergencies. For standard consultations, we can typically schedule appointments within 1-2 weeks. However, if you're experiencing pain or have an urgent situation such as facial trauma or severe infection, we make every effort to see you on the same day or within 24 hours.

We value your time and understand that oral health issues can significantly impact your quality of life, which is why we maintain flexibility in our scheduling to serve Bernalillo residents efficiently.

We accept most major dental and medical insurance plans for our Bernalillo patients. Our administrative team is experienced in working with insurance providers to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

We understand that navigating insurance can be confusing, so we're happy to verify your coverage before treatment and explain what costs may or may not be covered by your specific plan.

For patients without insurance or those requiring treatments not fully covered by insurance, we also offer flexible payment options to make quality oral surgery care accessible to all Bernalillo residents.
