Chesapeake Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral surgery often sits in that awkward space between routine dental care and full-blown medical procedures—neither a filling nor a hospital stay, but something in between. Chesapeake Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery handles the kind of work that most general dentists don’t: wisdom teeth that refuse to cooperate, jaw realignment for those whose bite has gone rogue, and the occasional dental implant when a gap needs more than a bridge. It’s the sort of place people end up when their dentist says, “This is beyond me.” The practice operates out of a suite on Three Notch Road, tucked into the kind of low-slung professional building that dots the edges of California’s more suburban stretches.

The address, 22966 Three Notch Rd Suite 103, puts it in a stretch of St. Mary’s County where the traffic thins just enough to suggest you’ve left the immediate hustle of Waldorf behind, but not so far that you’re deep in farmland. Oral surgeons here deal with the mechanical side of mouths—bone grafts, impacted canines, reconstructive work after accidents, and the occasional biopsy when a lesion won’t play nice. There’s no fluff in the work; it’s either fixing what’s broken or preempting what might break later. The kind of place where the front desk probably fields calls from nervous parents of teenagers and adults who’ve put off extraction one too many times.

Booking anything from a consultation to a full procedure means picking up the phone—301-737-7770 is the number—and, given the nature of the work, it’s safe to assume they’re used to fielding questions about sedation options, recovery timelines, and whether ice cream is, in fact, an acceptable post-op diet. Directions are straightforward if you’re coming from Leonardtown or La Plata, though anyone unfamiliar with the area might want to double-check the route. The map confirms what locals already know: it’s just past the point where Three Notch Road starts feeling less like a highway and more like a local artery.

Most people don’t think about oral surgeons until they need one, and even then, the hope is to never need them again. Still, when the time comes, the goal is the same: get in, get it done, and move on. This isn’t the kind of practice that relies on repeat visits for cleanings or whitening strips—just the occasional, “Remember when you fixed my jaw?” years down the line.
