Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions for missing or failing teeth. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced 3D imaging to place titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue, supporting natural-looking crowns. This procedure restores chewing function, prevents bone loss, and improves facial aesthetics while offering long-term durability compared to traditional dentures.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We specialize in removing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth to prevent infections, crowding, and jaw pain. Our surgeons employ minimally invasive techniques with various anesthesia options to ensure patient comfort. Early intervention helps maintain oral health and prevents complications from partially erupted or misaligned third molars in adolescents and young adults.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting procedures restore lost jawbone volume to support dental implants or correct facial deformities. Using autogenous bone or synthetic materials, we rebuild structural integrity for patients with bone loss from trauma, periodontal disease, or congenital defects. This enables successful implant placement and improves overall facial aesthetics and function.
Facial Trauma Care
Our team treats facial injuries including fractured jaws, knocked-out teeth, and soft tissue lacerations. Emergency interventions stabilize acute trauma while reconstructive procedures restore form and function. We manage complex cases involving dental avulsion, orbital fractures, and soft tissue injuries using specialized techniques to minimize scarring and preserve facial aesthetics.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects misaligned jaws to improve bite function, alleviate temporomandibular joint pain, and enhance facial symmetry. We perform surgical repositioning of upper and lower jaws in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, addressing developmental abnormalities or post-traumatic deformities that affect chewing, speech, and breathing.

The nurses are AMAZING! My dad is 87 and has dementia and had to go in for X-rays and procedure. Shelby was beyond careful, kind, and willingly went the extra mile to ensure my Dad felt comfortable. Less 1 star only because I can't speak to the doctors here. Highly recommend.

I have had a number of implants done by Dr. Coles, over the years. The Oro Valley office is beautiful and the staff is always friendly, welcoming and caring. Dr. Coles is just an all around nice, compassionate, down to earth, fun, but professional oral surgeon. I am completely comfortable there.

This is my third dental implant and I would have to say, this time around was a piece of cake. I had no pain after the procedure and the healing process was a success. I also appreciated the check ins from the office staff while I was healing. I wish Dr. Coles would have done my other two implants. I highly recommend. Thanks again Dr. Coles.

Dr. Woods and his team are the best! They took such good care of me before and after the procedure. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed until I fell asleep and after I woke up. They were so sweet and made very clear post-op instructions for us to take home

I had a great experience. The surgery went well. I had no complications after the procedure. During the follow up appointment, they made sure there is no sign of infection and the gum is healing well. Would definitely recommend them
