Oral & Facial Surgery Center was proud to participate in the Arkansas Missions of Mercy. Through its volunteers, ArMOM provides dental care for those in pain and for those unable to afford dental insurance or dental care.

Thanks to over 120 dental providers and their staff, this two-day event provided much needed care to over a thousand Arkansans in dental pain.

We encourage you to check out the ArMOM website to see this year’s 2010 photo gallery and learn about the 2011 event.

In its tenth year, the Norman A. Grammer Scholarship was founded by Oral & Facial Surgery Center in honor of  one of our longest seasoned oral surgeons,  Dr. Frank Grammer, to commemorate his father who was a highly respected, practicing dentist for 50 years in the Batesville area.

Among students pursuing a degree in biomedical sciences and based on academic achievement, the $1,000 scholarship is awarded annually to a Fayetteville High School student who is personally selected among applicants by Dr. Frank Grammer.  Scholarships are awarded at the senior assembly in May and just prior to graduation.

OFSC is proud to contribute to providing educational opportunities to the NWA community.

Last year, Oral & Facial Surgery Center participated as a Gold Sponsor with the NWA Food Bank who distributed over three millions pounds of food to Arkansas communities.

Kicking off our own “Bite Hunger” campaign, OFSC was pleased to contribute a portion from every wisdom tooth extracted in 2009 and gladly donated over $5,000 to helping feed the hungry in Arkansas.

Thank you to all who chose OFSC for your surgery needs and for taking part in “Biting Hunger” in Northwest Arkansas!

Almost every year since September of 1990, OFSC’s own Dr. Steven Skoch and his clinical staff have, along with other health professionals in the community, participated in examining 250-300 kindergarten and elementary age students at Leverett Elementary School.

Providing dental assistance and treatment at no cost to immediate-need students who have no dental insurance, the kindness reflected for two decades through OFSC is just one more example of how Oral & Facial Surgery Center has cared for the NWA community.

Oral & Facial Surgery Center takes patient and community education on oral health very seriously.  We believe that you’re never too young or too old to learn about oral health and dental care.

Dr. Skoch Presenting Educational Presentation at Butterfield Trail Village

On Thursday, September 2, 2010, Dr. Steven Skoch (one of our board certified surgeons in the Fayetteville AR surgery center) gave an educational PowerPoint presentation on Dental Implants to interested residents of Butterfield Trail Village.  Included in this informative presentation were facts regarding the history and progression of dental implants, the benefits of dental implants over other options for missing teeth, bone grafting, candidates for dental implants and other relevant and interesting information regarding this topic.

Well received by those who attended, an excellent Question and Answer period followed the presentation.
