Dr. Jean-Luc Niel, DMD

Oral surgery isn’t anyone’s idea of fun. But when you need it, you want someone precise—especially in a field where millimeters matter. Dr. Jean-Luc Niel, DMD handles the procedures that general dentists don’t: wisdom teeth extractions, dental implants, bone grafts, and corrective jaw work. Ellicott City has its share of specialists, yet oral surgeons remain a niche; finding one who balances technical skill with clear explanations can feel like a relief.

His office sits on Dorsey Hall Drive, just off Route 29—a stretch of Ellicott City where medical plazas blend into quiet residential streets. The address, 5140 Dorsey Hall Dr, Ellicott City, MD 21042, places him close enough to Columbia for easy access but far enough to avoid the mall traffic. Patients from Howard County and beyond make the drive, often after referrals from dentists who trust his work on complex cases like sinus lifts or full-arch restorations.

Need to schedule a consult? His team picks up at (410) 997-5826—no automated menus, just a direct line to book or ask questions about recovery times or insurance. Procedures like apicoectomies or exposure of impacted teeth require follow-up, so having a number that connects you to actual people matters. Ellicott City’s mix of families and professionals means his patient base ranges from teens getting wisdom teeth out before college to adults replacing missing molars before they affect their bite.
