What Chicago Oral Surgery & Implant Center does

Chicago Oral Surgery & Implant Center is a private oral and maxillofacial surgery practice founded in 2016 by Dr. Jordan Ledger and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The practice operates three clinical locations in the Chicagoland area — West Loop (opened 2016), Roscoe Village (opened 2023), and Park Ridge (listed as coming soon) — staffed by three board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons (Dr. Jordan Ledger, Dr. Michael Lee, and Dr. Omar Faraj), each with academic affiliations at institutions including Loyola University Medical Center, Rush University Medical Center, and Vanderbilt.

The practice's clinical portfolio centers on dental implant surgery (single implants, All-on-4® full arch treatment, and Zygomatic Implants for patients with severe bone loss), surgical tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth removal), bone grafting, orthognathic corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma surgery, TMJ treatment, impacted canine exposure, and oral pathology. Procedures are supported by advanced imaging, 3D rendering for implant planning, Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) for orthognathic surgery, and sedation options including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation. The practice has cumulatively performed over 2,500 full arch cases using the All-on-4 Treatment Concept.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billing for surgical procedures and direct patient payments, with in-network participation across 13+ major PPO dental insurance carriers (MetLife, Guardian, BCBS IL, Delta Dental Premier, Aetna, United Health Care, Lincoln Financial, GEHA, Ameritas, and others). Patient acquisition is driven by a hybrid sales-led and direct-to-consumer model: dentist referrals are channeled through dedicated online referral forms, while direct patient acquisition runs through the oralsurgerychi.com website (SEO-optimized for 'oral surgeon Chicago IL'), Google Business profiles, Facebook, and patient testimonials. The practice has deployed HIPAA-compliant AI tooling for documentation, scheduling, and patient education, and operates online payment and registration systems (WeaveBillPay, MySecurePractice/TruForm) across its locations. No external funding, M&A, or patents are disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Aspen Dental: One of the largest DSOs in the U.S. with hundreds of branded locations offering extractions, implants, and oral surgery-adjacent services. Overlaps on tooth extractions, implant placement, and insurance-driven patient acquisition, but is broader in scope and not an OMS specialty group.
• Pacific Dental Services: Large dental support organization supporting hundreds of practices with strong PPO insurance relationships. Comparable on the in-network PPO model that drives patient flow, and a major source of general dentist referrals to oral surgery specialists.
• Heartland Dental: Large U.S. dental support organization supporting hundreds of dental offices, many of which refer oral surgery and implant cases externally. Comparable as a major Chicago-area dental brand that influences the referral flow to specialty oral surgery practices.
• US Oral Surgery Management (USOSM): PE-backed management services organization that partners with and acquires oral and maxillofacial surgery practices across the U.S. Not a direct operator in Chicago today, but the most relevant consolidator competing for surgeon talent and referral contracts in the OMS space.

Emerging players

• Archy Dental: Emerging dental support organization building a multi-location platform of general and specialty dental practices. Relevant emerging consolidator that could compete for the same patient and referral pools in the Chicago metro over time.

Direct peers

• Nuvia Dental Implant Center: Multi-location dental implant provider focused on full-arch, same-day permanent implants using a team-based oral surgeon + restorative model. Comparable on the full-arch implant offering, multi-site footprint, and direct-to-consumer marketing approach.
• Affordable Dentures & Implants: Large multi-site dental practice chain offering extractions, implants, and dentures with a value-focused positioning. Overlaps with Chicago Oral Surgery & Implant Center on tooth extraction, bone grafting, and dental implant services across multiple physical locations.
• ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers: National network of dental implant centers specializing in full-arch and All-on-4 style implant rehabilitation. Closest direct comparator on the high-value full-arch and zygomatic implant service line that anchors Chicago Oral Surgery & Implant Center's premium case mix.

Regional players

• Midwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Regional oral and maxillofacial surgery group practice in the U.S. Midwest offering implants, wisdom teeth, and corrective jaw surgery. Comparable on the multi-surgeon, broad-scope OMS group practice model, though operating in a different Midwest sub-market.
• Carolinas Oral & Facial Surgery Center: Multi-surgeon oral and facial surgery group practice in the Carolinas offering dental implants, wisdom teeth, orthognathic surgery, and facial trauma. Comparable as a similarly structured, multi-surgeon OMS group practice with broad procedure menus, though operating in a different U.S. region.
