Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral surgery often feels like a category people hope to avoid—until a wisdom tooth flares up or a dental implant becomes necessary. Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery covers the spectrum of procedures that general dentists typically refer out: impacted teeth, jaw realignment, facial trauma reconstruction, and bone grafting for implants. Unlike routine dental visits, these appointments usually arrive with a mix of urgency and apprehension; having a specialist who focuses solely on surgical outcomes can simplify the decision-making process.

The practice operates out of a professional suite in Lake Zurich, a suburb where medical offices cluster along State Route 22. This stretch of road—dotted with strip malls, chain restaurants, and the occasional standalone clinic—serves as a hub for residents of northern Cook and Lake counties. Parking here follows the usual suburban logic: shared lots, clear signage, and the kind of layout that assumes most visitors arrive by car. Inside, the focus remains on procedures that blend medical precision with dental expertise; think corrective jaw surgery, cyst removals, or preparing the mouth for complex restorative work.

Booking a consultation or follow-up starts with a call to (847) 438-2220. First visits often involve a 3D scan to map out the anatomy in question—whether it’s an un erupted molar or a misaligned bite. The administrative side tends to move efficiently, given that many referrals come from dentists who’ve already outlined the issue. Still, questions about anesthesia options, recovery timelines, or insurance coordination are best addressed directly with the staff; oral surgery rarely fits neatly into a single appointment slot.

For those mapping out the visit, the office sits at 950 W State Rte 22 STE 165, Lake Zurich, IL 60047. The entrance is on the building’s north side, near the intersection with Quentin Road. Double-checking the directions helps—especially if arriving during the afternoon rush, when Route 22’s traffic patterns shift unpredictably.
