Surgical Note Precision
Oral surgery notes require detail: flap design, bone removal, root fractures, closure type, suture material, and post-op instructions. ButterNote captures and structures all of it.
Document High-Volume Surgical Days
Oral surgeons often see 15–25 patients in a surgical day. ButterNote handles documentation for every case, from simple extractions to full-arch procedures.
Medicolegal-Grade Records
Oral surgery carries higher liability exposure. Complete, accurate, timestamped clinical notes generated immediately after each case protect your practice and demonstrate standard of care.
Procedures covered
ButterNote generates accurate notes for the full range of oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures, including:
- check_circleSurgical extraction — erupted tooth (D7210)
- check_circleRemoval of impacted tooth — soft tissue, partial bony, full bony (D7220–D7240)
- check_circleAlveoloplasty and socket preservation with graft (D7310, D7953)
- check_circleIncision and drainage of abscess (D7510/D7511)
The Apple Watch integration is especially valuable in oral surgery. Both hands are occupied during procedures — ButterNote lets you dictate findings, technique, and complications verbally while operating, then generates a complete note from that dictation the moment you're done. No reconstruction from memory at end of day.
Frequently asked questions
Can ButterNote document impacted wisdom tooth surgery?
Yes. ButterNote supports all impaction classifications — soft tissue, partial bony, and complete bony. The AI generates notes capturing the impaction type, anesthesia, surgical approach, complications if any, and post-operative instructions.
Does ButterNote support biopsy and pathology documentation?
Yes. ButterNote supports biopsy procedure documentation including lesion description, location, size, excisional vs incisional technique, and lab submission notes. The AI generates the procedure note; lab report documentation remains your practice workflow.
Can Apple Watch recording work during oral surgery?
Yes. The Apple Watch enables completely hands-free recording — critical in an oral surgery setting where both hands are occupied. Tap your wrist before beginning the procedure and dictate findings and steps verbally.
