Joseph Katz, DMD

Oral surgery needs don’t always announce themselves in advance—sometimes a referral arrives on short notice, or a sudden issue makes a specialist visit unavoidable. Joseph Katz, DMD handles those situations from an office on Center Drive, just off the medical corridor near the University of Florida campus. The practice concentrates on procedures that general dentists typically refer out: wisdom-tooth removal, dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, bone grafting, and treatment for facial trauma or pathology. Patients who prefer local anesthesia or IV sedation can discuss options during the initial consultation; the same team also manages follow-up care and any necessary adjustments. Directions to the office at 1395 Center Dr, Gainesville, FL 32610 are easiest to pull up on a map before the first visit, especially if you’re navigating the one-way loops around Shands Hospital. When questions arise about insurance coverage or appointment availability, a quick call to (352) 273-6739 can clarify next steps. The practice keeps regular weekday hours, though exact times shift slightly between semesters—best confirmed by phone rather than assumed.
