Oral & Maxillofacial Department

Dental care often splits into general cleanings and the more specialized work that keeps jaws and facial bones healthy. In Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood, where medical offices cluster near the universities, the Oral & Maxillofacial Department handles everything from wisdom-tooth extractions to corrective jaw surgery. They also manage dental implants, bone grafts, and biopsies—procedures that general dentists typically refer out. Fifth Avenue here is a quiet stretch of mid-rise buildings, making it easy to overlook until you need it.

At 3471 Fifth Ave #1112 Pittsburgh, PA 15213, the office sits above street level, so the elevator ride gives you a minute to gather your thoughts. While most people associate oral surgeons with emergency extractions, they also treat sleep apnea with custom appliances and reconstructive work after trauma. The team works closely with orthodontists, so if braces reveal a misaligned bite that surgery could fix, they’re already in the loop. No need to hunt for a new specialist halfway through treatment.

Appointments are scheduled weekdays, and if you’re unsure whether your issue falls under their scope, a quick call to (412) 648-6801 can clarify.

Oakland’s mix of students, hospital staff, and long-time residents means the waiting room is usually a low-key affair—no tourist crowds, just neighbors getting the care they need.
