Sara Runnels, D.M.D., M.D.

Oral surgery sounds clinical, but it’s often the quiet hero behind everyday comforts we take for granted. When a tooth needs more than a filling or a jaw demands precise correction, the right specialist becomes essential. In Dedham, that expertise is anchored at Sara Runnels, D.M.D., M.D., where dual degrees in dentistry and medicine meet surgical care.

Eastbrook Road weaves through a neighborhood where old-growth trees shade sidewalks and commuters pause for coffee before heading into Boston. Tucked in a low-slung office building at 20 Eastbrook Rd STE 301, Dedham, MA 02026, the practice handles everything from wisdom-tooth extractions to corrective jaw procedures. Patients arrive from nearby towns, drawn by the promise of precision without the downtown traffic.

What sets an oral surgeon apart isn’t just the title—it’s the ability to navigate the delicate balance between dental health and overall well-being. Here, procedures like dental implants, bone grafting, and treatment for facial trauma are performed with the same attention to detail that defines the neighborhood itself. The practice keeps a steady rhythm, serving those who need more than routine care but prefer to stay close to home.
