Dr. Bennette V. York, DDS

Oral surgery often feels like a niche specialty until you need it—then it becomes the most important search on your list. On S 28th Ave, just south of downtown Hattiesburg, a practice handles everything from impacted wisdom teeth to corrective jaw procedures. This isn’t a general dentistry office; the focus here is on surgical solutions for complex dental and facial conditions, including bone grafting and dental implant placement. Patients arrive with referrals in hand, but the practice also accepts direct calls for consultations.

The address, 1422 S 28th Ave, Hattiesburg, MS 39402, places it in a quiet stretch of the city, where the pace slows just enough to make a medical visit feel less rushed. Oral surgeons here address issues that general dentists typically refer out: facial trauma reconstruction, TMJ disorders, and even sleep apnea interventions. It’s the kind of place where a single procedure can resolve problems that have lingered for years—no flashy marketing, just the precision of a board-certified specialist.

Questions about recovery timelines or insurance coordination? The phone line, (601) 264-7611, connects directly to the office, where staff can clarify whether a procedure falls under medical or dental coverage—a common point of confusion. Some visits start with a 3D scan; others begin with a discussion about anesthesia options. Either way, the approach leans clinical, which makes sense for a field where millimeter-level accuracy matters.

First-time visitors might plot their route using the map listing, especially if coming from the USM campus or Oak Grove. The surrounding area is mostly residential, with a few medical offices dotted along the avenue—practical, not picturesque. That’s fitting for a specialty where the work happens behind the scenes, quite literally, in the bones and tissues that most people take for granted until they don’t.
