The staff were extremely friendly. Dr. Sikes explained the detal procedure in detail without so much medical terminology. Overall, they made my child and I feel less anxious about the procedure.. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a caring staff. Great people!

I am very grateful for the excellent care of my child received during her wisdom teeth extraction. The doctor was kind, patient and thorough in explaining the procedure and aftercare. My child felt comfortable and well cared for before, during and after the surgery. As a parent,.that peace of mind means everything. I highly recommend Desert Southwest Oral & Facial Surgery Dr. Sikes and his team. Thank you

Just Awesome! My entire experience was professional and impressive in every way. The staff were extremely polite and efficient. Dr.Sikes was on time, engaged, concerned and unrushed. All of my questions and concerns were thoroughly explored and completely answered. I have big procedures upcoming but feel like I definately made the right decision to forgo a general dentist and seek out an oral maxillofacial surgeon! Meeting Dr Sikes for my prepratory visit was, indeed, a pleasure and all of the anxiety, fear and worry I had about my surgery just simply vanished. Now I feel like I'm in the best possible hands and look forward to completing my surgery. I cannot recommend him high enough! I will update...

I had two extractions and two implants done. Dr Sikes provided great service and and showed top skills throughout the process. Professional up to the minute equipment and surroundings combined with staff's personal touch were reassuring.

Desert Southwest Oral & Facial Surgery is an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice located at 33 North Elm Street, Suite B in Cortez, Colorado. The practice describes itself as the area's first dedicated oral and maxillofacial surgery provider, bringing specialist surgical care to patients in the Cortez community who previously had no local access to an oral surgeon. Dental implants are a central focus, with the website covering single tooth implants, All-on-4 implants, implant supported dentures, and multiple teeth replacement, along with information comparing implants to dentures and bridges and a page on the cost of dental implants.
For patients who need preparation before implant placement, the practice offers bone grafting services including socket preservation, ridge augmentation, sinus lift, and jaw bone grafting. Other services listed on the site include wisdom teeth and impacted teeth extractions, TMJ care, corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma, oral pathology, frenectomy, and facial aesthetic treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers. Sedation dentistry, including intravenous sedation and general anesthesia, is available to help anxious patients feel comfortable. The practice notes that it accepts Medicaid and offers Cherry financing, and the office is open Monday through Thursday.
The practice is led by Dr. Justin Sikes, DMD, who founded Desert Southwest Oral and Facial Surgery in Cortez in 2022. A Georgia native, Dr. Sikes earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and began his career as a general dentist in Shiprock, New Mexico, serving the Navajo Nation. He went on to complete an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at the University of Washington, where he trained in facial trauma, dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, and wisdom tooth removal. He has made Cortez his permanent home and is known for a calm demeanor and small-town, patient-first approach.
