Dr. Neil Dunbar

Oral surgery covers a lot more ground than most people realize—wisdom teeth, implants, corrective jaw procedures. Dr. Neil Dunbar handles the kind of cases that general dentists refer out: complex extractions, bone grafting, facial trauma reconstruction. West Des Moines doesn’t have endless options for this level of specialization, which makes the practice a go-to for patients needing surgical intervention beyond routine dental work.

The office sits at 1469 29th St, a stretch of the city where medical offices and small businesses blend into the residential fabric. It’s not the kind of place you’d stumble upon by accident; people come here with referrals in hand or after searching for solutions to problems that can’t be fixed with a filling or a crown. Oral surgery isn’t something anyone looks forward to—but when it’s unavoidable, proximity to a specialist who deals with it daily matters more than aesthetics or amenities.

Questions about procedures, recovery, or insurance? The phone line—(515) 262-6035—connects directly to the front desk. For first-time visitors, the map cuts through any confusion about where to turn off Grand Avenue. And if you’re mapping out the next few days around a procedure, just remember: ice packs and soft foods are your new best friends.
