Katy Oral Surgeon Reviews
Satisfied Oral Surgery Patients
"Dr. Shepard was THE BEST! I have extreme anxiety and had been putting off my impacted wisdom tooth, which kept getting infected for over 3 years. The staff are all friendly. No attitudes. You feel very well taken care of and in good hands. My veins are tiny and hard to find so I started to panic and then BOOM, I woke up and it was over in what seemed like 1 minute. I don’t even remember pain after. Just the first day after the medication wore off but I took my pain medicine and I slept like a baby. Fully healed and back to eating regularly in like two days I believe. I am so grateful I went to this place! No more wisdom tooth pain and I wish I would have gone sooner. Thank you to everyone there! Kind regards!"
"My experience at Piney Point was an amazing one. I got my wisdom teeth out here and it was a fun experience. I would like to thank Dr. Steve Koo and all the other people who work there. They are all nice and respectable people and their work should not be taken for granted. I am thankful for their work and would recommend coming here. "
"Dr. Shepard and his staff are phenomenal. I called on a Wednesday was scheduled on a Friday and Dr. Shepard perform extraction surgery on the following Monday. He is so kind and super informative. He answered nearly all my pre and post op questions, before I even asked. Rest assured... you’re in skilled, good hands here. "

Frequently Asked Questions
Before you visit us, we want to make sure that you’re as fully informed as possible about our practice and the services we provide. That’s why we’ve taken the time to address some of our patients’ most common questions in the following FAQs. Call us if there’s anything else you want to ask about!
How Do I Find the Best Place for Dental Implants?
When you get dental implants in Katy to rebuild your smile, you want to make sure that you’re choosing the right expert for the job. It’s often beneficial to see an oral surgeon for dental implant placement rather than a general dentist. Not only are oral surgeons extensively trained in the procedure, but they typically perform it more often than general dentists and thus tend to be more experienced.
On top of that, before you choose a practice for dental implants, you should make sure it’s truly a good fit for you. Is it close to your home or place of work? Will it take your insurance plan? Consider your specific needs carefully so that you can search for a practice that’s able to meet them.
How Much Does It Cost to Get Dental Implants?
It’s normal to wonder, “How much does it cost to get dental implants near me?”, but it’s important to realize that the answer isn’t exactly the same for everyone. Several factors could influence the amount you need to pay, such as the number of implants required, the materials used, and any preliminary treatments that might have to be performed. It’s worth noting that your dental insurance plan may not pay for your dental implant posts, but it could still cover related services such as the final prosthesis.
Do I Need to Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
You will likely need to have your wisdom teeth taken out in the following circumstances:
- You are experiencing significant pain toward the back of your jaw.
- Your wisdom teeth have become impacted, meaning they’re partially or completely trapped under the gums.
- You are unable to keep your wisdom teeth clean.
- Your other teeth have started to move out of their correct alignment due to pressure from the wisdom teeth.
- A cyst has appeared on the gums near the wisdom teeth.
Note that wisdom teeth extraction isn’t necessary for everyone. If your wisdom teeth don’t cause any problems, it may be safe for you to keep them.
Does Sedation Dentistry Put You to Sleep?
Our practice offers various types of sedation dentistry to help our anxious patients stay calm and comfortable. However, it should be noted that only general anesthesia causes you to sleep through your treatment. With other forms of sedation – including nitrous oxide sedation, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation – you will be deeply relaxed, but you’ll still be awake, making it possible for you to answer our questions or follow any directions we give you.
