Among the specialty dental practices in Columbia’s Century Plaza East, oral surgery providers are fewer than general dentists—but they handle the more complex cases. From wisdom teeth extractions to corrective jaw surgery, this is one of the places where referral patients end up after a standard dentist recommends further intervention. The office sits on the fourth floor of 10630 Little Patuxent Parkway, a stretch lined with medical suites and professional buildings rather than retail storefronts. Unlike routine cleanings or fillings, procedures here often involve sedation options, implant placements, or treatment for facial trauma—areas where a board-certified oral surgeon’s training differs from that of a general practitioner.

Booking a consultation typically starts with a call to (443) 324-1999, whether the referral comes from a dentist in Ellicott City or a physician in Maple Lawn. While the practice doesn’t advertise walk-in availability, the scheduling process tends to accommodate urgent cases like infections or post-injury assessments. For first-time visitors, the map pinpoints the suite inside a building that also houses orthodontists and dermatologists—a cluster of specialists that reflects the area’s density of healthcare providers. The surrounding neighborhood, a mix of office parks and residential communities, keeps foot traffic minimal but ensures easy access from Route 29.
