Lance Smagalski, DDS

Oral surgery isn’t the kind of care most people seek out often—yet when the need arises, it’s one of those quiet essentials that keeps a community steady. Lance Smagalski, DDS, handles procedures like wisdom-tooth extractions, dental implants, and corrective jaw work from an office on Woodstock Avenue. The practice focuses on cases that general dentists typically refer out, offering a level of specialization that can make a difference in recovery time and outcomes.

You’ll find the office at 155 Woodstock Ave in Rutland, a stretch of road that connects the downtown core to the quieter residential pockets just beyond. The neighborhood itself is a mix of small professional buildings and older homes, where the pace slows enough to feel like a place where people actually live—not just pass through. It’s the sort of setting where a medical visit doesn’t feel like an interruption to the day, but rather a necessary pause.

Those who need to schedule an appointment or ask about a referral can call (802) 747-9100. The line is answered during regular business hours, and while the office doesn’t handle emergencies, they’re usually able to see referred patients within a week or two. Most procedures are covered by insurance, though it’s always wise to confirm details ahead of time—especially for more involved treatments like bone grafts or pathology evaluations.

For anyone unfamiliar with the area, the map at this link will get you there without guesswork. If you’re coming from the south, it’s just past the post office on the right; locals usually recognize the brick building by the row of birch trees out front.
