About First Coast Oral Surgery - Jacksonville

Based on Baymeadows Road East in the Deerwood area of Jacksonville, Florida, First Coast Oral Surgery - Jacksonville 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.

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.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

What services does First Coast Oral Surgery - Jacksonville offer?

What age is best to have wisdom teeth taken out?
Late teens to early twenties is often easier, because the roots are less fully formed and bone is more forgiving, so healing tends to be quicker. Removal is still routinely done later when there is a reason for it.
Why do wisdom teeth cause problems?
They arrive last, often into a jaw with no room left, so they become impacted or come through at an angle. Partly erupted wisdom teeth are also very difficult to clean, which is why they are prone to repeated infection and decay.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
Every six months suits most people. If you have gum disease or a history of decay a dentist may suggest coming more often. The point of regular visits is mostly to catch problems while they are still small and cheap to treat.

I had 2 implants done today ( lower molars ), I get high anxiety and I am out right scared when in comes to oral surgery! Dr. Skigen and his assistant Ashley did such a great job from the moment I walked through the door, as well as his administration staff. I appreciate everything to ensure I was comfortable and removing some of that anxiety.

Saturday, 7/11/2026 Employee on call was very professional - she listened, confirmed, quickly took action, & followed up to keep me in the loop. Great service! Also, the receptionist who checked me in & the assistant for my procedure were both excellent! They explained everything clearly & made sure that I was satisfied & comfortable. Again, great service!

This clinic is absolutely amazing. I was referred here after seeing my dentist and another specialist, so I was a a bit hesitant to see a third person for the same issue. Scheduling was easy and they managed to get me in rather quickly. Front desk staff is so nice and answered the numerous questions I had. The dental assistants are so friendly throughout the whole process as well. Today I had a biopsy done and everyone was so reassuring throughout the whole process. My nerves were getting the best of me but they were so helpful and one even held my hand during the procedure. I’m so so thankful and impressed at not just the customer service, but the genuine care from all the staff. This is a team that cares about what they do.

As with past experiences, everything went well. No tooth extraction is fun, but Dr. Skigen and his staff made it seem seamless. There was very little discomfort and the process was quick. He explained everything upfront and during the extraction made sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend “First Coast Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery”

I had an outstanding experience at First Coast Oral Surgery Center with Dr. Francois. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly professional, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. The level of service I received was truly above exceptional. Dr. Francois and his assistant was not only skilled and thorough, but also took the time to ensure I felt at ease and understood my treatment. I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of oral surgery—you will be in excellent hands!

I just had my bottoms Wisdom teeth extracted today and all I can say is that ever since I walked in through the offices door for my initial evaluation everyone treated me so well! Everything is so organized and the reception staff are so kind! Gotta given-it up for Dwayne for preparing me after I was nervous and calming me down (sorry for my reaction after I woke up from the Anesthesia lol) and Dr.Skigen who did my amazing surgery. 10 hours have passed and feel like I didn’t have anything removed. 10 out of 10! For you guys. Recommend it a 100%

Staff here is sharp, very organized, even funny (Charlie), and it has been a very positive experience both times I have been here. I had a very impacted and stubborn wisdom tooth that needed to go and Dr. Skigen got it out so fast and totally pain free. It was amazing! Dr. Skigen is a master of his craft. It is extremely rare that I say that about anyone and it is always well deserved. Thank you for helping me, Dr. Skigen and Sophia. You guys made my day much better than I anticipated! Keep up the great work!
