About Arizona Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
Based on East Tanque Verde Road in the Tanque Verde Place area of Tucson, Arizona, Arizona Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons is a dental practice serving the area. Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front, since they arrive last and often into a jaw with no room left. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — one that erupts cleanly and can be kept clean is often left alone.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Beautiful clinic. Exceptional, pleasant staff that go above and beyond to accommodate. Dr Wood came highly recommended by another dentist;he gave me a complete, current assessment/status of my dental condition. Big thanks to Dr. Wood and all his people.
I was very impressed with this practice. Used it for wisdom teeth removal. Dr. Woods was amazing. He probably explains the same thing multiple times a day to his patients but yet took the time to patiently answer all my questions. Highly recommend ! Staff was nice and checked on their patients the next day!
My experience at AZOMS was outstanding! Dr. R. Lifferth and his team performed an urgent extraction and implant in no time by fitting me in quickly and efficiently. They numbed my gums sufficiently and gave me laughing gas to alleviate my anxiety. They answered all my questions. They are an A++ team. I highly recommend this professional team!
Dr. ORTON was incredibly kind and very knowledgeable. He was also very honest, telling me I did not, in the end, need to have my two pulled. Jessica and the rest of the office staff was very helpful and patient. I would highly recommend this office to anyone of any age.
I had a great experience here getting a tooth extracted after being referred by my dentist - it was a surprisingly easy process and was expertly done. Everyone who works here is extremely kind and helpful! I definitely recommend this office!
Despite the potential discomfort associated with dental procedures, this experience was exceptionally flawless, and the staff mitigated any pain effectively. Regrettably, I required extensive dental work. I was referred to Arizona Oral and Maxillofacial by my dentist to address failed implants performed 20 months ago by another office, which is reputed to be the “best in Southern Arizona.” Dr. Orton and his team meticulously guided me through the process, outlining the expected outcomes and duration. Their level of compassion and care is immeasurable. I underwent four procedures, one of which was necessitated by Dr. Orton’s dissatisfaction with the bone growth surrounding one of the implants. His unwavering focus was on the patient’s well-being rather than financial gain. The professionalism and high standards were evident from the outset and persisted throughout the entire process. I cannot express enough positive sentiments about the staff and Dr. Orton. Notably, the cost was remarkably reasonable and significantly lower than what I would have incurred for a redo by the orthodontist responsible for the original work. I extend my sincere gratitude to Dr. Orton and his team for their exceptional job well done. Joe A
I am always nervous going to the Dr., but I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was going to AZOMS. Everyone was so nice. Sarah was friendly and she went through my history carefully. Dr. Lifferth was confident and pleasant. I have a lot of confidence in him. To complete my visit Sarah helped me with scheduling my treatment. She was great. It is so nice I can count on them. Thanks, Sue
Excellent consultation experience for my daughter's wisdom teeth extraction today. Office is clean and friendly. Dr. Wood explained the xray findings, the procedure, and took time to address all our questions. Dr. Wood's assistant, Jessica D., is welcoming, kind, and efficient. At check out, Jazmin was thorough in detailing the financial aspect of the procedure. We were provided all information to feel comfortable moving forward to make our appointment. Thank you for such a a positive experience! ***Professional office that welcomes and clearly communicates to the patient for medical procedure.
Had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted after years of struggling to get a budget friendly consultation and for how top notch this office is, the whole process was also very affordable. I know that differs based on insurances and such but I am extremely glad I was able to come to such a reputable office for this surgery. The team was great and the process was very quick and smooth. Very clear instructions before and after. The team is very knowledgeable and reassuring. The surgery itself took just a little over an hour.
