About oral surgery
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon removes impacted and difficult teeth, treats jaw and facial injuries, and places implants, often under sedation. Most patients arrive with a referral from a general dentist.
Paying for a visit
This is a community health center. Federal rules require it to offer discounts based on income and household size, and it cannot turn you away because you cannot pay. How sliding-scale fees work at community health centers
In Texas, adult Medicaid does not cover routine adult dental care. What Texas Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Phillip Iero see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
- Do I need a referral from a general dentist first?
- What income documents should I bring to get the sliding-fee discount?
- What will the first visit cost me, and what will it include?
A dentist registered at an address may work there only some days, or may have moved on. The clinic's front desk can confirm.
