Seattle Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

About a month and a half ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth out here, and the experience was a (relative) breeze. They were able to book me the very next day after my consultation, and were nothing but kind and courteous the whole way through. I had no complications afterwards, thanks to their good work and careful aftercare instructions. If I have my way, I’ll come back here for any other issues that arise.

Dentist phobia? I am queen of that! But alas, I needed an unfortunate tooth extraction, and thank goodness I saw Dr Wasson. Great staff, great dentist, and great experience … well, as good as a tooth extraction can get.

I had my wisdom teeth removed this weekend. I haven’t had any dental surgeries before this so this was the first time my dear teeth was about to be pulled out. The staff was really nice and made sure I was comfortable. Doctor Michael Wasson had honest opinion about what options I had while deciding to go for tooth removal or not. That’s rare these days. The surgery went very smoothly and I had negligible pain the following day. Doctor Wasson even made sure that I was doing ok by making a follow up call. Thanks to the whole team for making it a pain free surgery!

I had my wisdom teeth out 3 days before needing to fly across the country to get back to school. Staff was incredibly professional and friendly, and Dr. Wasson was clearly an expert surgeon. Well deserving of my first Unilocal review.

I brought my daughter to Dr. Wasson’s office for tooth extraction. They were incredibly helpful getting her in quickly on a day when she had no school and were willing to do the consult and procedure the same day.
The office is clean and professional. Both Dr. Wasson and his assistant gave very clear explanations. We had plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Billing and paperwork were easy.
Dr. Wasson called the next day to see how she was doing (absolutely fine) and I have no doubt that he would have been available and accessible if she’d have had any complications.

As an MD I’m perhaps more fussy (and aware) than most. This was my first major dental surgery, Dr Wasson and his whole team were exceptional from first to last. The procedure under sedation was pain-​free and pleasant, I was thoroughly impressed and grateful. Simple touches such as a soft-​pudding care package and next-​day phone call add to the positive impression. Thank you.

I had my 4 wisdom teeth extraction with Dr Wasson. The entire surgery only took less than 45 mins and I don’t feel any pain during the surgery and won’t even call it painful after the surgery.

I was referred to Seattle OMS for wisdom teeth extraction due to an infection. I was in extreme pain so I called and left a message on a Saturday so they could call me first thing Monday when they opened. I didn’t have to wait that long, Dr. Wasson called me back that same day (of course, I missed the call) and told me to call back on Monday when they open and they would see me for a consult same day. I called Monday, they got me in for a consult that same day when I would be off of work. Everyone in the office from the Doctor himself, the front desk staff and the dental/​medical assistants are absolutely wonderful. My consult was Monday and the surgery was Wednesday morning. My surgery felt like it took all of 5 minutes and then I was on my way home. They set me up with my prescriptions prior to my surgery so I wouldn’t have to go to the store after surgery. I didn’t feel any pain until later that after noon, even then it was minimal. The next day Dr. Wasson called first thing the next morning to check in and answer any questions I may have had. Wonderful experience with their office. If it was possible to regrow wisdom teeth, I would choose them everytime! Thankfully, they do not regrow :) thank you all so much again

I was referred to Dr. Wasson from my dentist and had a great experience. Dr. Wasson and his team were wonderful from beginning to end. I was dreading getting my wisdom teeth removed after a bad experience years ago and had put it off for years. Dr. W is very professional, straight forward and down to earth. My surgery and recovery went well and I highly recommend him.

I can’t say enough great things about the entire process. The office was sharp, clean and professional. The staff was amazing. Lisa at the front desk was knowledgable and helped me navigate all of my insurance questions. Dr. Wasson was knowledgable and patient. He even called me at home the day after my surgery (Saturday) to make sure they I was healing ok and to address any questions or concerns. His call was reassuring and made me feel like I had someone on standby just for me. The doctor’s assistant Caitlin was hilarious. She kept me engaged in the process, calm when needed and laughed at my terrible jokes. The dentists office and the operating room can be scary places, Caitlin made me feel more at home.

I called Seattle OMS on a Monday to get my wisdom teeth pulled, and I got in for a consultation on Friday and had the surgery on Saturday. Every staff member I interacted with was fantastic, including the front desk staff who were incredibly welcoming and answered all of my payment and scheduling questions, and the dental assistants who were very friendly and efficient and put me at ease. Dr. Wasson is awesome. He went over all of my options with me and made me feel like I was in control of how I wanted the procedure to go, which put me at ease.
I decided to stay awake with local anesthesia and nitrous oxide. I was a little nervous going into the procedure, so Dr. Wasson let me listen to my ipod while he and the dental assistant were working on me. But honestly, I didn’t even need it. He let me know what he was going to do each step and told some corny jokes along the way, so that was helpful. After the procedure, which felt way faster than I thought it would, he went out to the waiting room to talk to my fiancé to give him instructions on my after care. And the following day, which was a Sunday, Dr. Wasson called to check up on me.
In general the whole experience was way easier and more pleasant than I ever thought dental work/​oral surgery could be. I highly recommend Seattle OMS.

I had my wisdom teeth removed this weekend by Dr. Wasson. The whole staff was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. I never thought having oral surgery would be that simple, especially under general anesthesia.
My recovery process after surgery was great. Dr. Wasson did a follow up call to check up on me and see how I was recovering. I missed the call, but the voicemail was very informative and answered any questions I would have had.
I was very happy with my experience and would recommend anyone who needs their wisdom teeth removed to use Dr. Wasson and his incredible staff.
Double plus: they do surgery on Saturdays :)

I’ve never had any major dental surgeries before, so as you can guess I was pretty nervous! Everything from the consultation to follow up phone call/​email was very informative and reassuring!
Awesome staff, Caitlin one of the assistants was super fun and helped ease a lot of my nerves! Dr Wasson was very professional and calm throughout the whole procedure!
I would definitely love to come back if I ever needed another oral surgery (but hopeful not… Lol).
Parking wise: come a little early to find street parking (up to 4 hours if you pay).
They did mention having a parking garage but I never got the details on that, all I know is it was closed on Saturdays!

My son had all four wisdom teeth out last week and the whole process was exceptional. They had him in and out in about an hour with no complications. They even helped him into my car for the ride home.

I was referred here by Elliot Bay Dental Clinic (excellent place) for removal of four wisdom teeth. One had deteriorated, another was side impacted and both teeth above had to be removed also.
I got a consultation the same day and an appointment promptly for surgery. The secretary was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was friendly and engaging and set the tone for my visits there.
Dr Michael Wasson was excellent. He has a calm and professional bed (chair side?) manner. He explained the state of my teeth and options very thoroughly, making it clear decisions were mine.
On the day of teeth extraction him and his staff were good at spotting my initial nervousness and did a great job. Post-​op he personally called me within 48hrs to check on my progress and clarify questions that I had.
The physical space is clean and appealing. I only have two issues with this practise that prevent a 5star.
1. The intake sheet took me 15mins to complete (admittedly on my Iphone not computer) and some questions felt redundant.
2. The office is on Roosevelt Way (kitty corner to Portage Bay). I was lucky because I am familiar with the area to get parking, but there is no dedicated parking around the building. You have to hunt the side streets for free or Main Street for paid parking.
These are small quibbles. The service was impeccable and I would encourage anyone to use them without hesitation. If I could award a 4.5 star rating I would.
One last thing: my wife was very impressed that after my extraction (under general not local) Dr Wasson went to waiting area and spoke with her about my condition and gave her information about my prescriptions. It made her feel at ease.

I had three wisdom teeth removed today at this office. Dr. Wasson and his staff turned a completely unpleasant experience into one that was bearable. Throughout the procedure, under local anesthesia, the doctor and his assistant made sure to check that I was OK. They made me as comfortable as possible. They also explained what they were doing before it was done, to ensure I wouldn’t be too shocked. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, and they put me at ease. My husband also had his wisdom teeth removed at this office, and they did a great job in explaining my husband’s procedure and what to expect afterwards. I don’t think anyone would be excited to have their wisdom teeth extracted, but if it must be done, I highly recommend this office!

I was treated very well at this office and Michael is very nice and friendly. All of my questions and concerns were addressed and taken care of before my surgery. Considering this was a surgery, I still had a relatively enjoyable experience because Michael and his assistant were fun to be around and allowed me to feel comfortable.

I had to have oral surgery and a implant after a tooth broke off at the gum line. I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Wasson and his entire staff. Very knowledgeable and professional but has the caring ability to really listen to your needs and concerns as well.
I highly recommend them and would certainly go back if ever needed again.
Dr. Wasson even called the next day to make sure everything was ok.
