Conveniently Located for Your Care
Accessibility and convenience are vital components of a stress-free medical experience. Our primary Ann Arbor location is strategically situated to serve the local community and surrounding areas with ease. Located at 2058 S State St, Ste 100, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, our office is just north of I-94 (using Exit 177 for State Street) and sits conveniently across from the University of Michigan Golf Course. We are only a short distance from major local landmarks like Briarwood Mall and the University of Michigan athletic campus, including Michigan Stadium. For those utilizing public transportation, the clinic is highly accessible via TheRide (Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority), with Route 6 and Route 62 offering stops along South State Street just steps from our door.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery
As part of our commitment to patient education, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive regarding our procedures, costs, and recovery processes.
1. How much do dental implants or the All-on-4 treatment concept cost at Michigan Oral Surgeons, and do you accept dental insurance?
The cost of restorative treatments like implants and the All-on-4 concept varies based on your unique anatomy, the number of implants required, and whether you need supplementary procedures like bone grafting. We encourage you to schedule a consultation so we can provide an accurate, personalized estimate. We work with numerous insurance providers and offer clear guidance on your coverage, and you can conveniently make a payment or discuss financing options with our administrative team.
2. What is the recommended age for a wisdom teeth removal evaluation at your Ann Arbor, Plymouth, Adrian, or Dexter locations?
We typically recommend that patients undergo a wisdom teeth evaluation during their early to mid-teens, usually around age 15 or 16. Early evaluation utilizing our advanced 3D scanning allows our surgeons to monitor the development of the third molars and proactively recommend removal before the roots fully form, which often results in an easier procedure and a smoother recovery.
3. What can I safely eat and drink during my immediate post-op recovery following a tooth extraction or oral surgery?
During the first few days following your surgery, it is vital to stick to a soft-food diet. Excellent options include applesauce, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and blended soups served at room temperature. It is crucial that you avoid using a straw, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot and cause complications. For more detailed dietary instructions, please review our General Post-Op Guidelines FAQ.
4. Do the oral surgeons at Michigan Oral Surgeons require a formal referral from my general dentist to schedule a consultation?
While many of our patients are referred to us by their trusted general dentists or orthodontists, a formal referral is not strictly required to schedule a consultation at our offices. If you know you need specialized oral surgery care, you are welcome to reach out to us directly to book your initial evaluation.
5. How do I properly manage swelling and pain after oral surgery, and what should I do if I suspect a post-op complication like a dry socket?
Swelling and mild to moderate discomfort are perfectly normal after oral surgery. You can manage swelling by applying ice packs to the outside of your face in 20-minute intervals during the first 48 hours. Pain can typically be controlled using the specific medications prescribed or recommended by your surgeon. If you experience severe, radiating pain a few days after surgery that does not respond to medication—a potential sign of dry socket—please contact our office immediately so we can provide prompt relief.
