Recently had to have a wisdom tooth removed and I was absolutely terrified. Dr. Smagalski did a fantastic job, I couldn’t believe it was over so quickly. Nora the dental assistant assured me they were going to take good care of me, and I’m so glad she was able to calm me down with her pleasant, caring nature. Thank you to both of them, would not hesitate to go back if I needed to have oral surgery again.

I had to have a toothe that was close to my sinus removed. Dr. Smagalski was fantastic. He walked me through the procedure very clearly. It was done within 15 minutes with ZERO PAIN.
I see the lower ratings here are mainly from the interactions with the office staff (which I also had no problem with and found very friendly). Personally I think the ratings should be based soley on the surgeons performance which was outstanding.

Wonderful!! I can't say enough good things about my experience. I had an infected impacted wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Smagalski. He was excellent!! Tender, caring, informative during the procedure. He even called me personally at the end of the day to see how I was doing. Highly recommend!

Excellent!!!! Dr.Smagalski was great when I needed a molar removed due to a dentist that had shoved a crown that was too small for the tooth. It did not take long and I was very comfortable and numbed and did not feel a thing. The nurse, Katlyn was informative after the extraction. My first call the the office was also great, Cheryl, was my first contact and was very nice and helpful. I also had received a voicemail from one of the surgeons that had been on call over the weekend and left his cell number if I had problems. Toady, I got a voicemail to check on me. I did call to ask some questions that were answered. I was very impressed with the follow up and highly recommend Oral & Dental Implant Surgery. Thank you to all in the office.

A big thank you to Dr.Smagalski and the entire staff in this office for being so incredible. The nurse couldn’t have been kinder and explained everything they would be doing. I was reassured I would feel no pain - and I didn’t. They made me feel at ease.
I know if I have any other issues that require an oral surgeon again, I would 100% choose this office.
