If you need an oral surgeon in Leawood, KS, the question is not just who is closest. It is who is actually trained for this.
General dentists do a lot of things well. Oral surgery is not on that list. Removing impacted wisdom teeth, placing dental implants, and rebuilding bone structure are surgical procedures. They require years of hospital-based training beyond dental school, the ability to administer IV sedation, and a level of clinical experience that a general practice simply cannot replicate.
Midwest Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery serves Leawood and Johnson County, and our Leawood office at 11551 Granada Ln is a dedicated oral surgery location, not a satellite visit or a once-a-week pop-in. This is where Leawood patients come for real answers and real treatment.

Oral Surgery Services at Our Leawood Location
Our Leawood office offers a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures. Whether your dentist referred you or you are coming in on your own, here is what we treat:
Wisdom Teeth Removal — Impacted wisdom teeth do not fix themselves. They crowd neighboring teeth, trap bacteria, and cause pain that gets worse over time. We remove both impacted and non-impacted wisdom teeth at our Leawood location, using sedation options that keep the experience manageable.
Dental Implants — A missing tooth is a structural problem, not just a cosmetic one. Dental implants replace the root and the crown, preserving the jawbone and giving you a permanent, stable solution. Dr. Green and Dr. Wallin perform implant surgery at this location.
Bone Grafting — When a tooth has been missing for a while, the jawbone underneath shrinks. Bone grafting rebuilds that foundation so implants can succeed. It sounds more intense than it is, and we walk every patient through exactly what to expect.
Tooth Extractions — Some extractions are straightforward. Others, involving broken teeth, curved roots, or compromised bone, require surgical skill. We handle the full range at our Leawood office so you are not sent somewhere else mid-treatment.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery — Before dentures or other prosthetics can fit properly, the underlying bone and tissue sometimes need reshaping. Pre-prosthetic surgery prepares your mouth for the best possible outcome.
Oral Pathology — Changes in the soft tissue of your mouth, things like unusual sores, discoloration, or lumps, should never be ignored. We diagnose and treat oral pathology conditions at this location.
Why Choose an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon?
Here is the honest answer: for most of these procedures, a general dentist is not the right provider.
That is not a knock on general dentistry. It is just the reality of what oral and maxillofacial surgery requires. After finishing dental school, oral surgeons complete an additional four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency training. That training covers surgical anatomy, anesthesia administration, medical emergencies, and complex reconstructive procedures.
The difference shows up in a few specific ways:
IV sedation and general anesthesia: Oral surgeons are trained and licensed to administer IV sedation in an office setting. Most general dentists are not.
Hospital privileges: Board-certified oral surgeons often hold hospital privileges, meaning they can treat patients with complex medical histories that would be unsafe in a typical dental chair.
Surgical scope: From impacted teeth buried in bone to full-jaw reconstruction, the scope of what an oral surgeon can address is categorically different from a general practice.
When the procedure involves cutting, bone, or sedation, you want the person who trained for exactly that scenario. Our Leawood surgeons are board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons. That credential matters.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Most people feel some level of anxiety before oral surgery. That is normal. What helps is knowing what actually happens.
Your first appointment is a consultation, not a procedure. Here is how it typically goes:
Arrive with your referral (or without one): We accept both referred patients and self-referrals. If your dentist sent you, bring the referral slip and any X-rays they provided. If you called us directly, that works too.
Consultation and imaging: Your surgeon will review your medical and dental history, take any necessary imaging, and explain your diagnosis in plain language. No clinical jargon without an explanation.
Treatment planning: You will leave the first visit knowing exactly what treatment is recommended, what your options are, and what the process looks like. Nothing is rushed.
Same-day surgery: In some cases, surgery can be performed on the same day as your consultation. Complex cases may require a second appointment.
Bring your insurance cards, a list of current medications, and a driver if sedation is planned. That is the whole checklist.
