Trained in a residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Removes teeth, places implants and plans your sedation with you.
About the practice
A surgeon and an anesthesia partner, side by side
Most patients come to us afraid of the visit, not the tooth. So we split the work in two: Dr. Cartwright does the surgery, and Hala Matar looks after your sedation and nothing else. You meet both before the day, and you hear who is responsible for what.
The office is small. Nina Bostic, the patient coordinator, answers the phone, checks your plans and sends the written estimate.

How we work
- 01
We write it down
The sedation plan, the fee and the after-care are on paper before the day.
- 02
We say who does what
The surgeon operates. The anesthesia partner gives the sedation and watches you.
- 03
We tell you what we don't do
We don't treat children, and we don't do cosmetic work. We send you back to your dentist for the rest.
Meet us before the day
A consultation costs you nothing but time to ask. Bring your questions and your dentist's name.
