Eastern Iowa Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center

What Eastern Iowa Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center does

Eastern Iowa Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center is a private oral and maxillofacial surgery practice founded in 2016 and headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a second office in Marion. The practice is operated by four board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons — Benjamin Fuller, DDS; James Tagoni, DMD, MD; K. Jeff Westlund, DDS, MS; and Kevin Nowins, DMD — with training pedigrees from the University of Iowa, Harvard / Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas. The practice delivers a full scope of oral surgery services including dental implants (with a same-day Teeth in One Day offering), bone grafting (socket preservation, ridge augmentation, sinus lift), wisdom-tooth removal, impacted canine treatment, tooth extractions, orthognathic jaw surgery, oral pathology, and office-based IV sedation / general anesthesia. Diagnostically, the practice operates an iCAT Flex cone beam CT 3D imaging system for field-of-view-customizable low-radiation imaging, and uses computer-guided virtual-reality planning software for implant placement.

The business model is fee-for-service: payment is due at the time of service, with the practice processing insurance claims to maximize reimbursement and offering Cherry financing (including a 6-month 0% option) to broaden access to higher-ticket procedures. Patient acquisition is hybrid — direct-to-consumer via the practice website, online registration, and an active Facebook/Instagram presence, alongside a structured referral channel run through an online referral form and Iowa Dental Board-approved Lunch & Learn CE-credit seminars for referring general dentists. The geographic footprint covers Cedar Rapids, Marion, Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Anamosa, North Liberty, and Dubuque across Eastern Iowa.

Technology that distinguishes the practice includes the iCAT Flex cone beam CT scanner (enabling precise diagnosis with minimized radiation) and the Teeth in One Day computer-guided implant protocol (using CAT scan imaging and virtual-reality planning with a flapless surgical technique to reduce postoperative discomfort, swelling, and bruising). Disclosed dental implant success rates are 95%+ for patients missing one or several teeth and 80-90% for patients missing all teeth. No revenue, headcount, or funding data is disclosed; the practice is independently owned by its affiliated surgeons with no parent company or institutional investor disclosed.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• US Oral Surgery Management (USOSM): Specialty DSO that partners exclusively with oral and maxillofacial surgery practices across the U.S. The closest structural peer given Eastern Iowa's similar multi-surgeon oral surgery service mix, referral-driven model, and candidacy for partnership-style consolidation.
• Specialized Dental Partners: DSO focused on multi-specialty dental partnerships including oral surgery and periodontics with strong implant revenue. Highly comparable business model: independent specialty practice paired with referral growth and same-day implant procedures.
• Affordable Dentures & Implants (Affordable Care): National chain focused on dentures and dental implants with same-day and full-arch offerings. Direct competitor for implant case volume in the Midwest.
• ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers: National chain dedicated to dental implants with full-arch "same-day teeth" protocols using 3D imaging and guided surgery. Competes for the same implant patient cases the practice serves in Eastern Iowa.

Broad incumbents

• Pacific Dental Services: Major DSO supporting specialty practices including oral surgery and implants; serves as a benchmark for the consolidator approach the practice could pursue or compete against.
• Aspen Dental: Largest U.S. dental DSO offering implants, extractions, and oral surgery across hundreds of locations including Iowa. Broad incumbent that competes on price and convenience for the patient base overlapping Eastern Iowa.
• Great Expressions Dental Centers: Multi-specialty DSO with oral surgery and implant service lines. Adjacent competitor for referrals and clinical staff in the Midwest region.
• Heartland Dental: Largest U.S. dental support organization supporting general and specialty dental practices. Comparable in scale ambition and as a competitor for referring dentist relationships and associate recruitment.
