Southern Oral & Facial Surgery

What Southern Oral & Facial Surgery does

Southern Oral & Facial Surgery is a privately held oral and maxillofacial surgery practice founded in 2003 and headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee. The practice operates four clinical locations across Middle Tennessee (Franklin, Thompson's Station, Brentwood, and Murfreesboro) and is staffed by five board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, four of whom hold dual dental and medical degrees (DDS/MD or DMD/MD). Service offerings span dental implants, the All-on-4 full-arch restoration concept, wisdom teeth removal, general tooth extractions, bone grafting, impacted canine exposure, facial trauma repair, oral pathology, and apicoectomy. Supporting diagnostic and comfort services include in-office Cone Beam 3D CT (CBCT) imaging at two locations and a full range of anesthesia options (local, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, general anesthesia), with all surgeons maintaining ACLS and PALS certifications.

The practice monetizes through one-time surgical procedures, with pricing varying by procedure complexity, anesthesia choice, and patient-specific factors such as bone grafting needs; consultation-based estimates are provided rather than publicly disclosed fee schedules. Patient financing is offered through CareCredit, and digital intake and documentation are handled via the CareStack patient portal. Distribution is executed through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct consumer consultations scheduled via website or phone, dentist-driven referrals submitted through an online referral form and the LOOP referral platform, and continuing-education events for referring providers. Brand building relies heavily on a 5-star review footprint across Google and Facebook and an extensive library of patient video testimonials hosted on the practice website and YouTube.

Operationally, the practice is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding events. The organization is HIPAA-compliant, with all surgeons board-certified or board-eligible by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Technology integration is limited to standard clinical and practice-management tooling (CareStack, LOOP, Google Analytics, CareCredit), with no disclosed AI/ML, API, or developer-facing platform capabilities.

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Dental Implants Replacement of one or more missing teeth by replacing both the root and crown of the tooth with an implant and restoration, providing a long-lasting solution that looks and feels like a natural tooth and prevents bone loss. Targeted at adult patients with missing teeth who want a permanent alternative to bridges or dentures.
• Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgical extraction of third molars (wisdom teeth) to prevent overcrowding, misalignment, pain, infection, and impaction. Targeted at teens, young adults, and any patient whose wisdom teeth are causing or may cause complications.
• All-on-4 Treatment Concept Full-arch restoration procedure that uses four dental implant posts to secure a fixed prosthesis, providing patients with a complete and fully functioning new smile as a same-day alternative to removable dentures. Targeted at patients missing all or most teeth who want a fixed full-arch restoration.
• Tooth Extractions Surgical removal of damaged, decayed, or infected teeth by oral and maxillofacial surgeons trained to remove teeth quickly and easily to minimize recovery time. Targeted at patients with non-restorable or infected teeth referred by their general dentist.
• Bone Grafting Bone graft procedures including socket preservation, sinus lift, ridge expansion, and nerve repositioning to restore or rebuild bone in weakened maxillofacial regions and qualify more patients as dental implant candidates. Targeted at patients with bone loss preparing for implant placement.
• Facial Trauma Treatment Treatment of facial trauma including avulsed or displaced teeth, fractured facial bones (cheek, nose, eye socket), jaw fractures, and facial lacerations to restore aesthetics and improve the ability to eat and speak. Targeted at patients with acute oral and facial injuries.
• Impacted Canine Treatment (Expose and Bond) Surgical exposure of impacted canine teeth followed by bonding to an orthodontic bracket so the tooth can erupt into proper position in the dental arch for function and bite alignment. Targeted at orthodontic patients with impacted canines.
• Apicoectomy Surgical removal of the infected tip of a tooth root when a prior root canal has failed to completely clear an infection. Targeted at patients with persistent apical infection after endodontic treatment.
• Oral Pathology Evaluation Evaluation and biopsy of bumps, patches, and abnormalities in the mouth to determine whether cancerous pathology is present. Targeted at patients presenting with oral lesions or suspicious tissue changes.
• 3D CBCT Scanning Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) 3D imaging for accurate diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial issues, surgical planning, and monitoring patient progress throughout treatment, with lower radiation exposure than traditional X-rays. Available at the Franklin and Thompson's Station offices as a standalone diagnostic service and as part of surgical planning.
• Anesthesia Services Sedation and anesthesia options including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), IV sedation, and general anesthesia, administered by ACLS/PALS-certified oral surgeons for patient comfort during oral surgery procedures. Targeted at patients undergoing any surgical procedure who require or prefer sedation.
