Oral Surgeons

What Oral Surgeons does

Oral Surgeons, PC is a private oral and maxillofacial surgery practice headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, founded in 1975 and operating four offices across the Des Moines metropolitan area (Des Moines-Fleur Drive, Des Moines-Ingersoll Avenue, Ankeny, and Clive). The practice employs eight (formerly nine, following the December 31, 2025 retirement of Dr. Jeffery Schwarzkopf) board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, several of whom hold dual DDS/MD degrees and dual board certifications, supported by an in-house team of registered nurses, patient care coordinators, insurance and billing specialists, an office manager, clinical coordinator, HR, and a marketing and referral relations function. Its core services span wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement with cone-beam CT-guided surgical planning, bone grafting (including sinus lifts and ridge expansion), pre-prosthetic surgery, surgical orthodontics, oral pathology, facial trauma, and surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, all delivered in-office with IV sedation and general anesthesia capability.

The practice's technology stack is centered on an in-office cone-beam CT scanner paired with computer-guided surgical planning software that enables virtual implant placement, surgical guide fabrication, and in select cases flapless implant placement without incisions or stitches. Clinically, the practice applies an evidence-based non-narcotic post-operative pain management protocol (600 mg ibuprofen plus 1,000 mg acetaminophen) reported to be more effective than narcotics for acute oral surgery pain. Services are billed on a fee-for-service professional basis, with reimbursement drawn from patient payments, dental insurance (including Blue Dental and Delta Dental), and medical insurance where applicable; CareCredit financing is offered to expand patient access. Patients access the practice through general dentist referrals or self-referral, with a dedicated referral relations coordinator, online referral forms, and a sponsored Implant Institute study club reinforcing the dentist referral channel that drives the majority of the practice's demand.
