West Mesa Oral Maxillofacial

About West Mesa Oral Maxillofacial

West Mesa Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is located at 4801 McMahon Boulevard Northwest, Suite 230, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving patients throughout the West Side as well as nearby communities such as Bernalillo, Corrales, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe. The practice is led by Dr. Stephen H. Christiansen, who provides a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgery services, from wisdom tooth removal to the diagnosis and treatment of facial pain. For patients missing teeth, the practice performs dental implant placement, bone grafting, and full arch solutions including All-on-4 treatment, which are designed to replace missing teeth with a stable foundation that looks and functions like natural teeth.

Patients considering dental implants at this office can expect care from a team trained to assist with intravenous sedation, offered within the practice's own office setting rather than requiring a separate facility visit. This can make more involved procedures, such as full arch implant restoration, more comfortable for patients who are anxious about surgery or who need to be sedated for extended treatment. The practice's focus on oral and maxillofacial surgery, rather than general dentistry, means the team works specifically with the surgical side of implant treatment, often coordinating with a patient's restorative dentist to complete the smile. Anyone exploring dental implants in the Albuquerque area can call the office directly to schedule a consultation and discuss whether they are a good candidate for the procedure.
