C. Ryan Wallis DDS

Oral surgery often bridges the gap between routine dental care and complex medical procedures, covering everything from wisdom teeth removal to reconstructive jaw surgeries. C. Ryan Wallis DDS operates in this specialized field, addressing conditions that general dentists typically refer out. Procedures like dental implant placement, corrective jaw surgery, and treatment of facial trauma require precision—and this practice focuses solely on those advanced interventions. The distinction between an oral surgeon and a standard dentist isn’t always obvious until you’re faced with a procedure beyond fillings or cleanings.

Finding a specialist in a mid-sized city can mean navigating a mix of urban convenience and mountain-town logistics. The office sits at 1125 W Kagy Ave STE 201, a Bozeman address that places it near the intersection of Kagy Boulevard and Oak Street, where medical offices cluster alongside retail spaces. This part of town sees steady traffic but avoids the congestion of downtown, making it accessible without the hassle of tight parking. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of appointment you plan around scenic views, yet the location’s proximity to Bridger Canyon Road means patients heading home can transition quickly from procedure to open skies.

Most referrals to an oral surgeon start with a question: *Is this really necessary?* Whether it’s impacted teeth, a misaligned bite requiring orthognathic surgery, or preparation for dentures via bone grafting, these aren’t decisions made lightly. The practice handles the full scope, from preliminary consultations to post-operative follow-ups, without the overlap of cosmetic dentistry or pediatric care. That narrow focus can simplify the process for patients who’ve already been through rounds of X-rays and second opinions elsewhere.

Logistics for surgical procedures often involve more than just the day of the appointment. Questions about pre-op instructions, anesthesia options, or recovery timelines usually come up long before the actual visit. For direct answers, the practice can be reached at (406) 585-1120. First-time patients might also check the map to confirm the suite number—second-floor offices aren’t always marked clearly from the street.
