Utah Orthofacial Surgery

Ever notice how oral surgery offices tend to cluster near medical hubs? Utah Orthofacial Surgery breaks that pattern, sitting instead along Highland Drive’s stretch of specialty practices. This isn’t some downtown high-rise clinic but a low-key suite in a professional plaza, where the focus stays squarely on procedures like jaw realignment, wisdom tooth extraction, and corrective surgeries that bridge the gap between dentistry and facial reconstruction. The address—4046 S Highland Dr #112—puts it just south of the bustle, where parking’s less of a scramble than near the university hospitals.

Oral surgeons often get lumped in with general dentists, but the work here leans more toward structural: think impacted canines, TMJ disorders, or prepping for implants when bone grafting’s involved. It’s the kind of place where referrals likely come from orthodontists or ENTs, not walk-ins spurred by a toothache. The category itself is niche—fewer than you’d expect in a metro this size—so finding one that handles both routine extractions and complex facial trauma cases without sending you to a hospital OR is its own kind of convenience.

Questions about recovery timelines or insurance coordination? They field those over the phone at (801) 273-5600, though you’ll want to double-check which plans they’re in-network with before scheduling. For first-timers, the map shows the entrance tucked back from the main road—easy to miss if you’re watching for a standalone building. Salt Lake’s sprawl means even specialty offices can feel tucked away.
