Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Business Cards for OMS and ABOMS Practice

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS) are the most extensively trained dental specialists — completing a 4-year dental degree (DDS or DMD) plus a 4–6 year hospital-based OMS residency (and many earn an MD degree during the residency as well) — specializing in surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. OMS surgeons bridge dentistry and medicine, managing everything from wisdom tooth removal and dental implants to orthognathic jaw surgery, facial trauma, pathology, and reconstructive surgery.

What OMS Cards Include

Your Credentials

• DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) — dental degree
• MD (Doctor of Medicine) — many OMS programs include an integrated MD degree; "MD, DDS" is a powerful dual credential
• ABOMS (American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) Diplomate — board certification; requires completion of OMS residency and passing oral and written examinations
• FACS (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) — honorary distinction recognizing surgical training and practice standards; significant prestige
• AAOMS member (American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons) — the primary OMS professional organization
