"Dr. Johnson has performed tooth extractions, bone grafts, and implants for me over the past fifteen to twenty years. Despite my chronic neurological condition, he has conducted these oral surgeries under local anesthesia, causing minimal discomfort both during these procedures and during recovery. I trust that Dr. Johnson will handle each task carefully, always considering my comfort. Additionally, he is a personable man who approaches patients with kindness. His staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well. I recommend this team without hesitation."
"Professional and courteous staff.Great communication and easy to follow pre/post patient instructions are given.Dr Johnson does a great job at helping the patientl feel comfortable and offers options for light sedation for procedures, if needed."
"First time getting teeth extracted. This was a painless procedure. Don’t remember a thing after sedation IV started. No pain and none the next day. Following the post surgery directions. Dr. Johnson and dental tech Ellery. We’re first class and would highly recommend this practice."
"I have had, counting this time, 2 teeth removed that 1 was cracked all the way down the tooth to root end, removed by Dr. Bird (90's)and #2 removed by Dr Johnson. (2024) I was sedated both times and when I came out of it was told all went well and to go with instructions till follow up and did this. 90's tooth was a breeze and no problems at all! Second tooth all was well( Broke tooth under Crown) with it too. Both Dr. and there are great at what they do and after listening to others people used this was a no brainer! Tech's Jessica & Ashley were real good at helping with assisting both Dr.s I had a few bone chips come through on first one ( This is normal especially if tooth is damaged bad. 2nd tooth will take longer as I am an old guy now and we heal slower. My advice is Dr. Jay A. Johnson. Professional , explains everything in detail to assure you of what will take place and the sedation was great for if you want or as with me he stated I needed to be and I totally agreed. Came out of sedation quickly and was on my way home to recuperate. Not only are they great at Oral Surgery but pricing was nearly 1/2 of what most people were charging huge $$$ for sedation. So if you need wisdom teeth or facial surgery Dr. Johnson is the man to see!"
"My wife is a patient of Dr. Johnson, and she absolutely loves him. He exudes self-confidence, and continually reassures his patients throughout the procedure. His assistants are very caring. I received succinct instructions following my wife’s tooth removal from one of his assistants, and she personally wheeled my wife down to the office of our dentist (in the same building), as my wife had been under sedation. She highly recommends Dr. Johnson for your oral surgery procedures."
"Consult before molar extraction. Am relieved that IV sedation available as I am scaredy cat & don’t tolerate dental or medical procedures well."
"Dr Johnson did an outstanding extraction of my wisdom tooth and adjaces molar today. Local anesthesia was painlessly administered and the extraction was swift and painless. In addition, staff is cheerful and professional! I recommend Dr Johnson to anyone requiring skillful oral surgery."
"What can I say. Lol finally getting around to writing this review. I had a very scary case of an upper wisdom tooth, with another tooth growing in the front of it. I must say in the beginning it was a bit awkward with the idea of having to sign a waiver for anesthesia so quickly, but Dr. Byrd was only trying to get everything rolling ASAP. I've never had to be put out for anything in my life, so all this was slightly off putting to me. Anyways... I opted for the local novacaine, because , ney on the sedation lol. Let me repeat myself, Dr. Byrd and his assistant are freaking MASTERS! When it came to the day of surgery, 3 or 5 novacaine shots later, everything went buy within like 20 minutes I swear! It's just remarkable because I've never had to have stiches, and they even stiched it all up with no feeling at all! They know what they are doing! Even Dr. Byrd reassured me wisdom teeth are a piece of cake for him, and he's right! He's just and old soul, and likes to get right to it lol don't let any of that make you feel off. This was my first time with Dr. Byrd's office. The price was amazing! The office is nice, it's small, and yeah not the Ritz or whatever, but everything else shows when it comes time to get stuff done right. The staff were all great too, nobody seemed like they hated their job, and they went above and beyond if I had questions as I had quite a few. Bottom line , this was a definite essential need to my oral situation, and super value at that. They even sent me a get well card ;) try one of the most , if not THE most experienced oral surgeon in Brevard Dr. Byrd"
"Dr. Bird is a phenomenal dental surgeon. I was referred to him years ago by my primary (now retired) dentist, Dr. Lowe for some extractions. I have had the unfortunate genetics of bad teeth, so I’ve seen Dr. Bird probably at least a half dozen times. Each time he was very kind and very informative of exactly how the procedure would work. He removed my wisdom teeth as well... and while painful after (like many people!), he had a difficult and stubborn set to work with and still managed to do the best job. I always opted for the anesthetic (exact name is slipping my mind right now!) that made me unaware of the time passing/what was going on - hence no pain. I actually remember asking the dental assistant, “will he be in to do the (four) extractions soon? I think the anesthesia is wearing off.” To which she replied, “Oh, you’re all set. He already did the extractions a bit ago.” LOL.I’m sure I will see him again in the future because there is still unfinished dental work I need taken care of. Definitely wouldn’t want to go to anyone else now, and for anyone looking for a new dental surgeon, I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Bird and his staff."
"This was a great pain free surgery, I expected it to be rough, I had multiple uppers removed including my 2 fronts that had been repaired in the past. I prefer full sedation due to some unpleasant procedures I had in my youth. A quick check in at the front desk & I was in the back within 3 minutes and the procedure started quick. Before I could realize it I was in my friends car & on the way home. There is no way I believe that any one could do a better job. Very happy with Dr. Johnson's work A+"
