Nock Oral Surgery

About Nock Oral Surgery

Nock Oral Surgery is an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice located at 2643 Patterson Road, Suite 501 in Grand Junction, Colorado. The practice focuses on surgical dental care rather than routine cleanings, offering tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, and bone grafting. For patients missing one tooth or many, the office places titanium implant posts that bond with the jawbone to serve as a stable foundation for replacement teeth, then works together with your regular dentist or prosthodontist, who fits the final crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture. The practice also offers guided implant placement surgery, which uses three-dimensional imaging and surgical guides to plan and place implants with a minimally invasive, highly precise approach.

Comfort options are a point of emphasis. Depending on the procedure, care can be provided under local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia, and Dr. Nock discusses these options with each patient to manage stress and pain. Because implant surgery in this office is performed by a board certified oral surgeon with advanced anesthesia training, patients with anxiety, complex extractions, or jawbone loss that requires grafting can have their treatment handled in one specialized setting. The practice serves Grand Junction and the surrounding Western Slope area and welcomes both dentist referrals and patients who contact the office directly at (970) 242-4433 to schedule a consultation.
