Dr. Stephanie Zastrow

Oral surgery covers a lot more than extractions—it’s a specialty that bridges medical and dental care, handling everything from impacted wisdom teeth to reconstructive jaw procedures. Many patients first encounter an oral surgeon when a general dentist refers them for complex tooth removals, dental implants, or treatment of facial trauma. Others arrive with long-term issues like misaligned jaws or persistent TMJ disorders that require surgical intervention. The field demands precision, but it also relies on coordination with orthodontists, periodontists, and primary care physicians to map out treatment plans.

Dr. Stephanie Zastrow’s practice operates at 3914 9th Ave W Bradenton, FL 34205, a stretch of West Bradenton where medical offices share the area with quiet residential blocks and the occasional café. The location puts it within easy reach of both downtown Bradenton and the neighborhoods spreading toward the Manatee River. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of service people seek casually; it’s often the next step after exhausting less invasive options. Whether the need is urgent—like an infected tooth requiring immediate removal—or planned, such as preparatory work for dentures, the goal remains the same: resolving issues that simpler dental care can’t address.

Some procedures sound routine but carry nuances—removing wisdom teeth, for example, might involve sedation options or post-op guidelines tailored to the patient’s health history. Others, like bone grafting for implants or corrective jaw surgery, require meticulous pre-op planning and follow-up. Recovery timelines vary; a single extraction could mean a day of rest, while major reconstructive work might involve weeks of healing. Questions about what to expect, how to prepare, or when to schedule a consultation are best directed to the practice phone: (813) 264-2286.

For those mapping out a visit, the office is pinned on Google Maps with current directions and street-level details. West 9th Avenue connects to several main roads, including 34th Street West and Manatee Avenue, which simplifies access from neighboring areas like Palmetto or the beaches. Parking in the vicinity tends to follow the rhythm of the surrounding businesses—functional, without the congestion of a commercial hub.
