Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Business Cards for OMS Practice

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS) are among the most extensively trained dental specialists — most completing a 4-year residency plus often an MD degree alongside their DDS/DMD training. They operate at the interface of dentistry and medicine, managing conditions ranging from the routine (wisdom tooth extraction) to the complex (jaw reconstruction after cancer, facial trauma, orthognathic jaw surgery). Many OMS are hospital-credentialed surgical staff.

What OMS Cards Must Include

Your Credentials

• DDS or DMD + MD (optional) — the MD completion is increasingly common, especially at academic programs; signals medical/surgical depth
• OMS / Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
• Board Certified in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — ABOMS (American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) — the primary certification
• FACS (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) — surgical fellowship — powerful signal for hospital-credentialed OMS
• AAOMS member (American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons)
• State dental license and separate medical license (if MD)

Subspecialty focus:

• Implantology — single implants, multiple implants, All-on-4, zygomatic implants
• Orthognathic surgery — jaw surgery for bite correction, sleep apnea
• Head and neck cancer / Oral pathology — oral cancer resection, neck dissection
• Facial trauma — fracture repair, soft tissue
• Cleft lip and palate (academic / craniofacial centers)
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery — joint replacement, arthroscopy
• Salivary gland pathology

Your Surgical Services

Common procedures:

• Wisdom tooth extraction (all complexity levels including bony impacted)
• Dental implant placement — single, multiple, full arch
• Bone grafting — socket preservation, ridge augmentation, sinus lift
• Tooth extraction (simple and complex, including surgical)

Implant full-arch surgery:

• All-on-4 / All-on-6 full arch implant surgery
• Zygomatic implants (for severe bone loss cases)
• Implant-supported full-arch prosthetics (collaborative with prosthodontist)

Orthognathic / jaw surgery:

• Mandibular osteotomy (lower jaw repositioning)
• Maxillary osteotomy / LeFort I (upper jaw)
• Genioplasty (chin positioning)
• Bimaxillary osteotomy
• MMA (maxillomandibular advancement) — for sleep apnea

Trauma:

• Mandible fracture — ORIF (open reduction internal fixation)
• Zygoma fracture
• Orbital floor fracture
• Naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fracture
• Laceration repair and soft tissue

Pathology and oncology:

• Biopsy — incisional and excisional
• Cyst removal — dentigerous, odontogenic keratocysts
• Oral cancer surgery — primary excision, neck dissection
• Jaw reconstruction — fibula free flap (collaborative with head and neck surgery)

TMJ:

• TMJ arthroscopy
• Total TMJ replacement (alloplastic)
• TMJ arthrocentesis

Anesthesia:

• IV sedation — office-based general anesthesia (most OMS offices)
• Nitrous oxide / local anesthesia
• Hospital OR privileges
