The Oral & Facial Surgery Center is a dedicated oral and maxillofacial surgery practice in Oklahoma City offering extractions, dental implants, wisdom tooth removal, corrective jaw surgery, and bone grafting under multiple sedation options. It operates as a standalone surgical center rather than as part of a larger dental group, which means patients referred for complex cases often move between their general dentist and this practice without in-house restorative or preventive care.
The practice handles third-molar extractions, including impacted and surgical cases; single and full-arch dental implant placement; tooth extractions for orthodontia or other reasons; bone grafting for implant site development; and corrective jaw surgery. Patients can choose from local anesthesia alone, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or general anesthesia depending on procedure complexity and personal preference. IV sedation and general anesthesia are available on-site, a significant advantage for anxious patients and those undergoing longer procedures. Specific sedation pricing is not published online; confirm these costs directly when scheduling, as they vary by type and duration.
Dental implants at this practice typically range from $3,500 to $6,000 per implant (fixture and abutment), depending on bone quality, grafting needs, and surgeon choice if multiple providers are available. The full timeline from extraction or assessment to final crown placement usually spans 4 to 6 months to allow bone integration. A consultation visit includes imaging (often a 3D CBCT scan) and a surgical plan; some patients learn at this stage that bone grafting is necessary, which adds $800 to $2,000 per site and extends the timeline by 4 to 6 months before implant placement can begin. Confirm all estimates at your consultation, as individual anatomy varies.
Oklahoma City has several other oral surgery options, including surgeons embedded in large dental group practices (such as those affiliated with Greenberg Dental or Canyon Creek Dental) and independent practices like Premier Oral Surgery. The key difference: surgeons within group practices often allow you to complete implant crowns under one roof, reducing transitions between providers, but may have longer wait times for scheduling due to shared operatory space. The Oral & Facial Surgery Center, as a dedicated surgical facility, typically moves cases faster for extractions and implant placement but requires you to return to your general dentist for crown placement. Choose this practice if you already have a trusted general dentist and value surgical efficiency; choose an in-group surgeon if you want continuity of care and have no established dental home.
This practice is ideal for patients with complex extractions (impacted teeth, previous failed removals), those seeking implants, and anxious patients who benefit from IV sedation in a controlled surgical environment. It also serves patients referred by orthodontists for extractions before bracing. It is not the right fit if you need same-day restorative work immediately following an extraction or if you strongly prefer one provider for the entire implant process. Patients without a general dentist should establish one before surgery, as post-operative care and crown placement will occur elsewhere.
The first visit is a consultation, not surgery. You will undergo imaging (CBCT scan) at the office, meet with the surgeon or surgical coordinator, and discuss your medical history, medications, and any allergies. The surgeon will outline the procedure, explain sedation choices, and give you a written estimate and timeline. Allow 60 to 90 minutes. You will receive pre-operative instructions (when to stop eating, which medications to pause), sedation consent forms, and a post-operative care sheet. Most practices ask that you arrange a driver if you choose IV sedation or general anesthesia, since you cannot legally drive the same day.
The Oral & Facial Surgery Center operates Monday through Friday during standard business hours (typically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but verify current hours by phone, as surgical schedules occasionally shift). Parking is on-site or in a shared lot. Because surgery appointments are scheduled in advance, you do not walk in. If you need to reschedule, call as soon as possible; cancellation policies vary by practice, and last-minute cancellations sometimes incur fees. Pre-operative antibiotics or other medications prescribed before surgery must be filled ahead of time.
A dedicated surgical center with in-house sedation capability and no compromise on operative time makes the Oral & Facial Surgery Center a logical choice for Oklahoma City patients facing complex extractions or implants who want to move through the surgical phase quickly.
