Kentwood (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates of Western Michigan)

Oral surgery often involves more than extractions—it can include reconstructive procedures, jaw alignment, and complex dental implant work. Kentwood (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates of Western Michigan) specializes in these areas, handling everything from wisdom teeth removal to corrective jaw surgery. Their scope extends to facial trauma repair and bone grafting, bridging the gap between dental care and broader maxillofacial needs. Such services are typically sought after referrals from general dentists or orthodontists.

On the southeast side of Grand Rapids, the practice operates out of 2000 43rd St SE Suite D, a stretch that’s more clinical corridor than bustling retail zone. The area is practical, with nearby medical offices and easy access to 44th Street for those coming from farther out. Oral surgery centers like this one tend to prioritize function over aesthetic—patients arrive for procedures, not ambiance.

Scheduling a consultation usually starts with a call. The direct line, (616) 281-1112, connects to the front desk for appointments or preliminary questions. Since these surgeries often require pre-operative assessments, the first visit might involve scans or X-rays rather than immediate treatment. Follow-up care, if needed, is coordinated through the same office.

For first-time visitors, mapping the route in advance helps. The directions show the suite tucked within a professional complex—unassuming from the road but clearly marked once on site. Most patients arrive with a referral in hand and leave with post-op instructions, the process as clinical as the setting.
