About Owen Oral & Implant Surgery
Owen Oral & Implant Surgery is a locally owned oral and maxillofacial surgery practice at 702 West 42nd Street in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, serving families throughout Western Nebraska and nearby Wyoming communities, including Gering, Mitchell, Alliance, Bridgeport, Sidney, Kimball, Chadron, and Torrington. The practice describes itself as the only board-certified oral surgery office in the region and has served the area since 2015. Dental implants are a core focus, with services that include single tooth replacement, treatment for patients missing all upper or lower teeth, implant-supported overdentures to secure loose dentures, bone grafting for implants, ridge augmentation, sinus lifts, and socket preservation. Dr. Owen performs the implant surgery, any needed extractions, and bone grafting, then works with the patient's restorative dentist, who designs and fits the final crown, bridge, or denture.
Beyond implants, the office provides wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions including full mouth extractions, pre-prosthetic surgery, oral pathology and biopsies, impacted canine exposure, and 3D imaging. In-office intravenous (IV) sedation is offered for surgical procedures, and no referral is needed to schedule a consultation. The practice emphasizes a personal approach: the website states that every patient receives Dr. Owen's private cell phone number and that he personally calls each patient after their procedure. The office bills insurance as a courtesy, offers online patient registration, and is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
