William B Bohannan DDS, MD, PC

updated

This is a long overdue review.
Last year in March I got into a bicycle accident, flying out of my bike and landing face-​first to the ground. I lost teeth and broke some. My dentist found Dr. Bohannan in the network and I immediately called them for an emergency surgery. I was really happy that Dr. Bohannan and his staff were able to schedule me in quickly (within a week) even though they were already booked. They put me to sleep and then I woke up with all the broken teeth gone and with bone grafting set in place. Surprisingly the recovery process wasn’t bad. Of course, there was pain from my accident and all the extraction procedure but there’s always prescribed drugs to help with the pain.
Dr. Bohannan was very professional, knowledgeable and very sweet. He told me all the steps that would be needed to take for my full recovery, aka having a full set of teeth! He also told me the potential bad news, such as losing the teeth around the impacted area. I really respect his professional opinion and he was really transparent about everything.
I ended up having to extract one tooth that he thought he couldn’t save and then he added more bone grafting. A dental specialist was able to save a tooth at the other side of the impacted area with a root canal. I’m still in the process of waiting for the bone grafting to harden so the next step is to get four dental implants, which hopefully will be with me permanently til I die.
His staff were also professional and sweet, and I’ve always felt welcomed and cared for. They also play music when you’re awake for a quick extraction.
I highly recommend Dr. Bohannan for your oral surgery needs!

Dr. Bohannan is really great!
I had four infected molars that
he extracted all in one office visit.
I never experienced that before.
Dr.Bohannon told me that
it would be the same level of pain
whether I just had one pulled or
all four pulled out in one day.
He was completely right.
He did it using only novacaine,
After I stopped taking the pain killer,
I barely had any pain,
only occasional phantom pains from
the painful infections in the teeth and
jawbone.
And, that stopped as time passed.
I had absolutely no problems at all!
What a difference a really
great oral surgeon makes!
Thank you so much, Dr. Bohannan!

Had a great experience with Dr. Bohannan. My implant procedure was practically painless, and I’m very happy with the results. The staff was very friendly, and the assistant Sergey was extremely helpful. They also gave me a great recommendation to a cosmetic dentist who put a crown on my new implant.

I was long over due to get my wisdom teeth removed but was having a hard time picking which dentist to go to. I heard about Dr. Bohanan from my father so I decided to schedule an appointment. The people at the front desk were friendly and explained everything to me and assured me that everything would be fine. I came back today (a week later) and got my wisdom teeth removed! I’ve been terrified about doing this but the procedure was so fast and I felt so comfortable. It’s been 4 hours now and I fortunately haven’t felt any pain yet. Definitely would recommend Dr. Bohanan and his team!

I hate going to the dentist and the idea of oral surgery freaked me out so much I waited until it became an emergency situation to get my wisdom teeth yanked.
I would up with an infection and my dentist was able to push through an emergency extraction from my insurance company. They gave me Dr. B’s name and I called, explaining the situation. The nice lady at the front desk asked when we could be there for an evaluation and I told her we were 5 minutes away. Come over now, she said. And so we did.
The staff here is wonderful like that. I walked in, gave the front desk the x rays my dentist had taken and the code my insurance (delta) had provided
Two pages of health questions, and Five minutes later I was having a full panoramic x ray done. Five minutes after that I was in an exam chair and watching a silly movie about extractions! The doctor came in, looked at the xrays, at my teeth, confirmed the infection and read over my extensive medical history. We discussed options, and he wasn’t pushy in the least. Even though I’m in the medical field, the anesthesia options confused me. He took the time to explain them, and the pros and cons of each in regards to this situation.
Mind you, this was all on a Tuesday following the long thanksgiving weekend. He had to have been busy.
After a talk with the insurance lady (she’s so nice) we booked my appointment for Thursday morning. The even offered to fit me in that day, but I had several meeting lined up that I couldn’t get out of. So I was given a few sheets telling me what to, expect and not to eat before surgery.
It’s just over a week from that appointment and my infection is gone, thanks to the prescription dr. B gave me. My two upper 3^rd molars are long gone, too, and I feel so much better. The surgery wasn’t painful, but I’m glad I went the sedation route. I recommend it to anyone who can safely go under.
Not that I have other wisdom teeth to extract (thank you genetics for only giving me 2), but I’d highly recommend dr. B and his wonderful staff!

Both my teenage boys had four wisdom teeth removed. The front staff was very accommodating and scheduled our surgeries back to back for our convenience. (They skipped lunch to make it happen!) This was after the front staff went through the somewhat arduous task of getting insurance approvals.
From the consultation appointments, through the surgeries and right to the follow up appointments we could not have asked for a better experience. The office is professional, friendly (but not overly so) and clearly have this process down pat.
We felt comfortable with Dr. Bohannan, Jen (front office) and Christina (medical assistant) and recommend them whole heartedly!

My dentist referred me to Dr. Bohannan to have a cracked molar removed. I read some of the Unilocal reviews, and was somewhat apprehensive, so I called two other oral surgeons. After speaking with the other oral surgeon offices, I chose Dr. Bohannan. I was very impressed with Natalie who spent allot of time on the phone explaining the process of tooth removal and bone graft, etc.
I then saw Dr Bohannan, I was comfortable with his directness, and attention to details so I scheduled the extraction and bone graft. Unfortunately prior to my appt. my tooth became very painful. The office got me in immediately to remove the tooth. After the numbing took effect it was no more than 20 minutes and the tooth was removed and the graft put in place. The office had previously talked to me about the care of the site and graft along with instructions, so after the removal I was good to go. Dr. Bohannan called me the following day (Saturday) to insure I was doing well. It has been two weeks and all is well.
I am very pleased with Dr. Bohannan, his assistant and staff. I would definitely recommend him.

I went to Dr. Bohannon for the removal of a very «mad» wisdom tooth today and I am so impressed with the dr’s skill level, bedside manner and staff. I was so nervous for my appointment I even had my mother come for support but as soon as I walked through the door I felt comfortable. From the consultation all the way to the tooth removal the process was seamless. The removal itself took about 10 minutes and it has been roughly 6 hours since the surgery and I feel like my old self again! Thank you Dr. Bohannon for making the process so easy!!!

I’ve been to Dr. Bohannan’s office so many times now that I’ve lost track of the count. True, a lot of those have been consults, follow-​ups, or check-​ins, but in the span of three years, I think I’ve gotten to know the doctor and his team pretty well after three major oral surgeries in his office. Believe me, for wisdom teeth extraction, bone grafting, and implant surgery, you want the best of the best to do the job right and well. That’s what Dr. Bohannan does!
Even though I was so freaked out that the surgeries would leave me swollen for days and bed-​ridden from pain, I ended up having no post-​surgery pain at all. And I mean absolutely zero. There may have been very mild soreness and swelling, but I never once had to take the prescribed painkillers. Not even Advil! It was amazing.
Aside from pain-​free surgeries, the best part about this office is Dr. Bohannan, Christina, and Catherine! They are truly the most caring and friendliest dental professionals I have ever met (and I have met quite a few). They really care about their patients and go to bat for them (insert evil, insurance story here). I couldn’t recommend a better office to anyone looking for an oral surgeon. You’ll be in great hands.

Dr. Bohannon is a skilled surgeon with an aptitude for aesthetic precision. He is able to do many things beyond teeth extraction, implants and jaw realignment. I went to him for Botox which seems a bit underkill for him but why not get the DDS and MD when usually it is an NP?!

Dr. Bohannan took care of me after a bad bike accident where I knocked out my front tooth and did some good damage to some of the other ones around it. He took great care of me while I was freaking out after coming from the hospital and having a horrible experience with another dentist who was threatening to pull my teeth out on the spot after admitting that she had only done something like this once before.
He did some significant implant surgery on one of my front teeth, and moved the other one back into place after it had been shifted back. He was able to see me right away, and his entire staff as well as himself handled me so well while I sat there freaking out about the whole thing. He also recommended a great dentist in the city for me to see to get caps on the teeth that he was working on, and made sure that everything was going smoothly throughout the whole year and a half process.
I moved out of San Francisco to New York about half way through the whole long process, and Dr. Bohannan adjusted his schedule and came in even at times he was not scheduled to be there to work with my schedule when I came back to town, making the whole process much easier for myself and my family.
Catherine at the front desk is amazing and wonderful– I was living in San Francisco at the time, and she offered to pick me up and drive me to the office for my surgery. I have been back multiple times for follow up appointments, and every time I found Dr. Bohannan and his entire staff to be kind and easy to deal with.

My bottom wisdom teeth were so impacted that they were practically parallel with my jaw. Dr. Bohannon still got them out so cleanly that I was back to my normal diet and habits 5 days later. I would send anyone needing oral surgery straight to him.

I was very pleased with the removal of my wisdom tooth. Bada-​Bing, Bada-​Boom, I was in and out of the chair in no time with no pain. Read and followed the instructions given me after the procedure. Couldn’t have gone smoother.
Nice guy, nice office staff. A pleasure.

I highly recommend Dr Bohannan. I am not an easy patient to deal with. I have extreme anxiety any time I have any dental procedures. My procedure last week went very well. Thanks to Dr Bohannan. His expertise in dealing with patients of all kinds is evident. The before– and after-​care I received from Dr Bohannan and his office staff was outstanding and very much appreciated.

My 15 year old son had to have 8 teeth extracted (4 bicuspids and 4 wisdom teeth) before he had to have braces. We were referred to him by his orthodontists. This Dr was going to put my son under. At the consultation my husband and I mentioned that he was allergic to PEANUT and SOY. He was so confident that, at his age it would be a smooth surgery and that he has doen this so many times. I questioned the sedation medication and the route of delivery. (I am an ICU/​ED RN) I never mentioned to him that I was, because I just wanted to hear his perspective. He kind of got offended by my questions and he said that he does everything. The IV insertion, the titration of medications (he was going to give him propofol, versed and fentanyl) and even mentioned that he had a reversal medication. Fast Forward a month later… we had to go on vacation and had enough time alloted for the healing process and off he goes to 10^th grade…
I prep my son, for the surgery like «he’ll ask you to count to 10 backwards and by the time you get to nine you’ll be out» … About 20 minutes later AS he was in the room and I waiting in the front room, I heard a loud CRASH!!! The phones were ringing, the receptionist ran in the room and had to help. The commotion was killing me, because that is my son in there. I had this gut feeling that something went wrong… I was pacing the reception hall and about 20 minutes later the receptions told me that my son was combative, pulled the iv, attempting to get up and they had to hold him down. There were three people holding him down. 7 teeth were out but the 8^th teeth was a bit difficult. I wanted to go in there sooo bad. When the surgery was done, he was in a wheelchair with 2 huge pads and a hairnet looking thing around his jaw. He looked like Princess Leia. I asked this dentist. «SO, what happened?» and I specifically asked him «did he have a reaction to the medication? which one do you think?» and he said… with his red face «Ahh, it could be either of them» NO EMPATHY. I was soooo pissed… WTF… if this was your son? Did he pushed it too fast? (Oh, he was also late for the surgery.) did he give too much??? did he not realize that propofol is SOY based!!! I just took my poor son home and he was kind’a loopy and that is understandable. FAST FORWARD a week later my son was still swollen and I expected like an explanation… but para que? SO, Dr. Bohanan if he was your son would you could have done any different? GGGRRRR I wish I did tell him I was a nurse. This was a NIGHTMARE… so consumer’s BEWARE. I still have to talk to the orthodontists about this incident. ALthough what can I do it was HELL for my son. All I can do is just tell you guys what happened and if you decide go to this person I have Unilocaled the incident… this is the only way I could do my son justice. If I only knew… how he was, I WOULD HAVE NOT let him touch him or any of my family with a 10 foot pole!!! The rating would not allow me to do an 0 star. 1 star for the sweet receptionist. She told me more about it than the dentist. God Bless her…
My son has started 10^th grade and still tender on the left lower side, so braces would be delayed… Thanks Bohanan… CONSUMER’S BEWARE… I have told my nurse friends, friends and family about this .and do yourself a favor no matter if the orthodontists referred you… do your own research… that was my mistake…

I went to see Dr. Bohannan for the removal of my severely impacted wisdom teeth. I was somewhat nervous b/​c I had been told that it was going to be quite the gnarly process to get those buggers out. Dr. Bohannan immediately made me felt at ease. He managed a great balance of humor and professionalism which is something I value in the person who will be yanking the teeth from my skull. It allowed me to feel comfortable. He assured me that I would not be in much pain following the procedure and he was right. I was pleasantly surprised with the experience.
On a side note he installed (probably not the correct term) an implant for my dad. It’s one of his front teeth so he was obviously worried about people being able to tell that it was a fake tooth. He did a beautiful job. It’s stayed in there for many years so far and you would never guess that it was a fake tooth.
I would recommend Dr. Bohannan for any sort of crazy dental need that a regular dentist can’t fix for you.

What? 4 reviews and 5 stars … oh PLEASE.
I actually recall seeing a 2 star review for this Surgeon but now it’s gone.
And the fact that he is a DDS and MD, well other more qualified surgeons are too.
I went there since my so very nice dentist referred me to him, She is really good, so I thought this Surgeon might be good too.
What a disappointment! He saw me in 5 min, They made me watch some videos first… before I even talk to the doctor, Then he came in, saw my x-​ray (that my dentist gave me), And he started to make «funny mad» faces, and then he was scolding me for being on my 30’s and still have my wisdom teeth in. With a not so very nice «This is your fault» attitude.
Just to clarify, It was the first time a dentist suggested to get them out.
So the very sensible Dr Bohannan, told me something like:“Your lower teeth is touching the nerve, so I give it 90% chance of getting damage, I can not tell you if it will be permanent, there is other procedure but I do not do it“
And some very brief explanation went on for 1 more minute. He didn’t even check on my mouth!
Then as I got out in shock from the very good news he gave me, The lady in the front desk was very ready to schedule the surgery!
Lucky me for finding a more professional, rational, capable, and sensitive surgeon, who got my 4 teeth out with no complications and was giving me lots of options on how to deal with my situation. (CHECK MY OTHER REVIEWS)
I will give a star because I think the front desk lady was actually very nice.
So happy he didn’t touch my mouth at all!

So… I’m a dentist, and in dental school, there were requirements to graduate. x number of root canals, x number of fillings, etc… You get the point.
Well, I needed a root canal… and one of my friends in school needed to do a root canal to graduate. So, I let him do it. Fast forward fifteen years later… the root canal became re-​infected. Turns out he missed a nerve, and the tooth fractured. The tooth had to be pulled out. No bad feelings, shit happens.
But then I had to consider who would replace the tooth with an implant. Since I am a dentist, I know several surgeons who are very capable and skilled. However, there was no hesitation. I chose Dr. Bruce Bohannan because:
1. He was in my class so I know how brilliant and skilled he is
2. He went to medical school after dental school. Crazy?! But it shows again how smart the guy is
3. He’s just such a nice, confident and caring doctor
4. He’s not bad on the eyes. I overheard another patient mention that he looks like a soap opera star. Yeah. I must agree≠)
No one wants to lose a tooth… but if you have to, you will not regret seeing Dr. Bohannan!

I have to admit, the first time I met him I thought he looked a little young to be a DDS and a MD at the same time. I had this really weird impacted wisdom tooth that a few surgeons didn’t even want to touch. And after speaking with Dr. Bohannan, he assured me it was no big deal. The staff was great in taking care of my insurance getting me preped for the procedure.
On the day of my surgery, Dr. B had assured me that everything was okay. I was really nervous and he made sure I was ready before he injected the anesthesia. The next thing I remember, was on my way home. His office even called that same day to make sure I was doing okay.
It’s been a year, and I feel great. Highly recommend!
