Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Greenville, SC
A guide to the 11 oral and maxillofacial surgery providers in Greer, what the work involves, and how to judge which practice fits your case.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers the procedures that go beyond routine dental care: tooth extractions (including impacted wisdom teeth), bone grafting, jaw surgery, treatment of facial trauma, and the surgical placement of dental implants. For anyone researching implants, this is usually the step that happens before a restorative dentist attaches the crown or bridge. Greer has 11 practices listed in this category, ranging from oral surgeons who focus almost entirely on implant placement and extractions to broader practices that also handle jaw reconstruction and TMJ issues.
When comparing providers, look at the surgeon's training and board certification, whether they do their own imaging (3D CT scans matter for implant planning), what sedation options they offer, and how they handle complications like bone loss or sinus proximity in the upper jaw. Ask how many implant cases they place in a typical month, since volume tends to track with comfort handling harder cases. It's also worth asking directly who does the surgical placement versus who does the restorative work, because those are sometimes two different offices.

Common questions about oral & maxillofacial surgery
- How much does oral surgery for dental implants typically cost in Greer?
- A single implant placement (the surgical portion only, before the crown) commonly runs from around $1,500 to $3,000 per tooth, with costs rising if bone grafting or sinus lift procedures are needed. Wisdom tooth extraction typically ranges from a few hundred dollars per tooth to over $1,000 for impacted teeth requiring more complex surgery. Get a written treatment plan that separates surgical fees from restorative fees so you can compare quotes accurately.
- How often do people need oral and maxillofacial surgery?
- Most people only need it a handful of times in their life: often once for wisdom teeth in their teens or twenties, and then possibly again decades later if they lose teeth and pursue implants. It's not routine maintenance like a cleaning, so a referral usually comes from your general dentist when a specific problem or restoration plan calls for it.
- What should I expect during recovery from implant surgery or an extraction?
- Expect swelling and soreness for a few days, a soft-food diet for about a week, and full bone healing around an implant taking two to six months before it can support a crown. Most practices schedule a follow-up within a week or two to check healing, then space out visits as osseointegration progresses.
- How can I judge the quality of an oral surgeon before committing?
- Check board certification, ask whether they use 3D CT imaging for treatment planning, and ask about their experience with cases similar to yours (bone grafting, full-arch implants, or complex extractions). Patient reviews that mention clear communication about risks and realistic timelines are a good sign, as is a surgeon willing to explain alternatives rather than pushing one option.
