Dr. Matthew Clark

Oral surgery isn’t just about extractions. From wisdom teeth removal to corrective jaw procedures, the field covers a spectrum of specialized care that general dentistry doesn’t always address. Procedures like dental implants, bone grafting, and treatment for facial trauma require precision—and that’s where focused practices come into play. Most patients don’t realize how much overlap exists between medical and dental expertise until they’re referred to a specialist.

Dr. Matthew Clark’s practice sits at 55 W Red Oak Ln #1, a stretch of White Plains that blends professional offices with the quiet rhythm of Westchester County. The area isn’t flashy, but it’s central enough for patients coming from Scarsdale, Harrison, or even the northern Bronx. Oral surgery often gets lumped in with routine dental work, though the reality is more complex: impacted teeth, cyst removals, and reconstructive surgeries demand a different level of training. This isn’t the kind of place you stumble upon; referrals usually bring patients through the door.

Some assume oral surgeons only handle extractions, but the scope extends to pre-prosthetic surgery, biopsy evaluations, and even sleep apnea interventions. Whether it’s preparing the mouth for dentures or addressing congenital defects, the work ties into broader health outcomes. For those coordinating care—say, between an orthodontist and a surgeon—having a local specialist simplifies logistics. Questions about procedures or post-op protocols? The phone line is open at (914) 500-8985.

The map pin for directions is straightforward: just off the Hutchinson Parkway, where Red Oak Lane curves near the county’s medical corridor. Surgery of any kind carries its own set of considerations; knowing the location in advance cuts down on day-of stress. Double-check the route if you’re arriving from I-287—Westchester’s one-way streets have a way of rerouting even the best-laid plans.
