Dr. Jay Malmquist

Oral surgery covers more than extractions—it’s the specialty handling everything from jaw realignment to facial trauma reconstruction. Procedures like dental implants, cyst removals, and corrective surgeries for cleft conditions often fall under this scope. While general dentists refer out complex cases, oral surgeons train for years beyond dental school to manage both the functional and aesthetic outcomes of these interventions. The distinction matters when recovery and precision are non-negotiable.

In Portland’s South Waterfront district, Dr. Jay Malmquist practices at 1750 S Harbor Way Suite 100, Portland, OR 97201. The area’s mix of medical offices and residential towers makes it a hub for specialized care, with easy access from I-5 or the streetcar line. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of service you seek casually—it’s the kind you research when the need arises, whether for wisdom teeth impaction, pre-prosthetic bone grafting, or TMJ disorders that haven’t responded to less invasive treatments.

Scheduling a consultation usually starts with a referral, but direct contact is an option if questions remain about procedures like sinus lifts or orthognathic surgery. Reach the office at (503) 292-8824. Most patients arrive with a clear diagnosis in hand, though the initial visit often involves imaging and a treatment plan tailored to how the issue affects daily function—not just the teeth themselves.

For first-time visitors, the map confirms what locals already know: parking in the district demands patience. Still, the trade-off is proximity to clinics that handle the procedures general dentistry can’t. No frills, just the next step when a standard exam isn’t enough.
