Shavano Park Facial Surgery

About Shavano Park Facial Surgery

Shavano Park Facial Surgery is the San Antonio practice of Dr. John P. Schmitz, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon located off Loop 1604 near Shavano Park. The practice focuses on surgical solutions for tooth loss, including dental implant placement, the All-on-4 technique for full-arch restoration, and guided implant surgery for same-day teeth replacement. Patients also come to the office for wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, and treatment of oral pathology such as cysts and lesions, so the team is equipped to handle both routine extractions and more complex surgical implant cases in one location.

Before entering private practice, Dr. Schmitz served as the attending oral surgeon at University Hospital in San Antonio and taught residents at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, and the practice's own materials describe him as a board certified oral surgeon with decades of surgical and teaching experience. The office uses a 3D digital CT scanner to plan implant cases and offers guided, incision-free implant placement for patients who qualify, which can shorten recovery time compared to traditional implant surgery. The practice works with a range of dental and medical insurance plans and takes time during consultations to walk patients through a personalized treatment plan before any surgery is scheduled.
