Fairfax Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Dr Peter Smith is truly awesome. I had my four wisdom teeth extracted (bottom ones are impacted) at the same time. I was so scared and could even fall asleep before the surgery. He is so nice and explained to me step by step how he’s gonna remove my teeth. I was put to sleep so didn’t feel anything during the surgery but the most incredible thing is that after the surgery I only took pain killer ONE time which was at two hours after the surgery. No more pain killers needed after that since I didn’t feel any pain at all. I didn’t even take any antibiotics! My right face did swell a little bit but that’s totally normal. I started eating soft food (pasta, noodles etc) right on the next day and all my friends were so surprised! What can I say, Dr Peter Smith is the best!!!

Stay away!!! Terrible place. Horrible experience.

I actually saw Dr. Parker, I believe. The whole office was friendly, prompt, and attentive and the Dr., in particular, was awesome. He was incredibly knowledgable and took the time to explain things to me (so rare in any Doctor in this area, right?). He even pointed out I might be able to save a tooth I had been told was a goner and recommended a periodontist. I’d recommend this office a million times over.
The only thing I will point out is they don’t check out your insurance coverage for you. I’m not super familiar with oral surgery practices so I don’t know if it’s common but, dental insurance sucking like it does, I’d recommend checking it out yourself beforehand.

Great experience
I had three wisdom teeth extracted and I have them knocked me out. The doctor is a very nice person. Even though I was a little nervous when I sat on the chair, he talked to me in a funny way and made me feel better.
Either the dentists/​dental assistants kept checking on me after I woke up and before my ride arrived. They showed concern and care. I had great experience with every single one of them.
EXCEPT when I heard the front desk loudly saying, «WHAT?!» after the other front desk told her that my ride will be arrived in an hour. I could have made a better arrangement. I don’t mind if she said anything bad behind my bad, but for customer service stand point, they should have talked about it quietly and «smartly» .at least just don’t let me know.
The doctor showed care and left me a voice message for me and asked me how I felt. He also reminded me that the office will be opened over the weekend if I need anything or have any questions.
I didn’t have to take any of the pain killer. Of course I feel the cut in my mouth, it’s a surgery at the end. but seriously, I didn’t feel much pain at all, I didn’t need any pain killer.
All I did was putting icepad on both of my face once I got home. I kept icepad on my face for 2 — 3 days. on the third day, I can start having soft food like fish.
GREAT EXPERIENCE!

For 20 years, I have avoided having the last 2 wisdom teeth removed after very bad experience having a broken wisdom tooth removed. Dr. Theberge of
and his staff made this experience wonderful. After a nice consultation, I did IV sedation, 20 sec after IV went into my arm, i was out, my next memory was opening my eyes in a reclined chair in their recovery area 35 min later with wife sitting next to me. Have minimal post op pain, they were not impacted. His bedside manner AND staff was great.

My husband and I both came to the Fairfax Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery office to get our wisdom teeth surgically extracted. I saw Dr. Park and my husband saw Dr. Smith. Both doctors were great to work with and answered any questions we had. Dr. Smith even called my husband the day after the surgery to see how he was feeling.
My recovery time was a bit longer, but I don’t attribute that to bad work– just problematic teeth :) (Or maybe I’m just bitter because I could only eat jello for a week and my husband was eating pasta on day two!)
Their prices were comparable ($ 1200 for general anesthesia and four extractions, two of which were bony impacted).

All of them… every single doctor in the practice, all of the assistants, everyone, they are all fantastic! I have had more than my fair share of dental procedures and happened upon this group having moved to Reston and cannot say enough good things about them!
I have had a tooth pulled, a root canal and an emergency extraction done by these guys and they always make me feel so much better. By the time i get in to a dental chair, I am in a state of total panic and usually extreme pain. They treat you like you are the first person ever to feel that badly and sometimes that is just so comforting… particularly before being drilled, prodded and whatever. I have gone for the sedation on all occasions since i am a total wuss but even in the time leading up to and following being put to sleep, i felt like i was in excellent hands. The manner is that you are important but that this is no biggie for them and their relaxed vibe is so soothing.
As for price, i have never once felt like they charge too much. As a matter of fact, they are considerably cheaper than my last oral surgeons. They have offices all over so if there is an emergency, you can always find one open or one that is easy to get to.
In conclusion, if you are in the horrible situation of needing an oral surgeon, i promise these guys will take great care of you and will make sure you have the best procedure possible. :-)

Dr. Smith and the team of assistants at Fairfax Oral Surgery are wonderful. I went in to get my wisdom teeth surgically extracted and couldn’t be happier with the quality of service from scheduling to follow-​up (I got a personal call from the doctor himself the night of my procedure).
Because Dr. Smith belongs to a large oral/​maxillofacial surgical group, I was afraid that scheduling would be a nightmare. I was surprised to get a consult scheduled within the same week of my call during the most busy time of year for these guys (kids out of school, etc). I was then able to schedule my surgery (with general anesthesia) for a week and a half later! There was a little bit of a wait once I got to the office, but I didn’t mind… the overall service makes up for it in the end.
I would highly recommend Dr. Smith to anyone that needs attention from an oral surgeon, especially if you have anxiety about getting dental work done. He’s so friendly and easy going that I immediately felt comfortable under his care.
