Dr. Jonathan G. Hanson, DDS

Oral surgery often bridges the gap between dental care and medical necessity—whether it’s wisdom teeth removal, corrective jaw procedures, or complex extractions. Dr. Jonathan G. Hanson, DDS specializes in these areas, addressing issues that general dentistry may not cover. Procedures like dental implants, bone grafting, and treatment for facial trauma fall under this scope, requiring a surgeon’s precision. Such services aren’t just about relief; they’re frequently a prerequisite for long-term oral health or reconstruction. The distinction between a dentist and an oral surgeon can be subtle to patients, but the difference becomes clear when dealing with impacted teeth, cysts, or preparatory work for dentures.

The practice operates at 1400 Southwest Blvd Ste C, Jefferson City, MO 65109, a location convenient for those navigating the southwestern stretch of the city. Consultations typically precede any procedure, so calling ahead at (573) 635-7216 ensures the right paperwork and imaging are ready. For first-time visitors, checking the map can help—Southwest Blvd’s layout isn’t always intuitive near the medical offices. Jefferson City’s mix of state workers and longtime residents means oral surgeons here see a broad range of cases, from routine extractions to reconstructive needs after accidents.
