About Tyler Longview Oral Facial Surgery
The doctors and staff of Tyler Oral and Facial Surgery are proud to be part of the East Texas Healthcare Community serving the people of a region we love. With our new facility, we offer many of the state-of-the-art safety features found in hospital settings.
Tyler Oral and Facial Surgery center and it’s adjoining outpatient surgery facility, Turtle Creek Surgery Center, represent the realization of a dream—to provide our patients with the latest medical technology while providing thoughtful, individualized care. We offer consultation offices and surgery suites all in one location, employing many of the same fail-safe systems available in most advanced hospital settings.
Turtle Creek Surgery Center is a Texas Department of Health Certified Facility designed for more advanced surgical and anesthesia needs. Procedures such as facial cosmetic surgery, TMJ surgery and advanced dental implant surgery can be accomplished safely in our offices. We are one of the few Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practices in the nation to provide such services. And with four surgeons at our facility five days a week, it means optimum convenience for our patients. We can typically schedule a consultation within one week and emergencies can be handled quickly and efficiently
Despite these advanced features, our fees are comparable (and in many cases less costly) when compared to similar practices in the region. Each doctor has a qualified staff who works with your insurance company and we also offer 0% interest, flexible financing plans to those who qualify. Our little extras—convenient parking, a pleasant atmosphere, a caring and courteous staff, and flexibility in scheduling—all ensure comfort for our patients and their families.
Please contact us with any questions about our facility and the services we can provide. Thank you for your interest—we look forward to serving you.

Beyond the operating room, Dr. Terres values time with his wife Veronica and his son, Jayden.
