About Our Practice

Oral Surgery Focused on You

Center for Oral Surgery provides advanced oral surgery and implant dentistry in Wheeling, West Virginia, with a strong focus on personalized care, patient comfort, and clear communication.

Led by Dr. Christopher Duplaga, our practice serves patients throughout the Ohio Valley with treatment plans designed around their individual needs, health, and long-term goals. 

Our Difference

Why Patients Choose
Center for Oral Surgery

Choosing an oral surgeon is an important decision. Our goal is to provide the expertise patients expect from a specialized surgical practice while maintaining the personal care and accessibility they value from a local provider.

Personalized Treatment

No two patients or treatment plans are exactly alike. We evaluate each case individually and recommend care based on your specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Advanced Surgical Care

Our practice provides both comprehensive oral surgery and advanced implant dentistry, allowing patients to receive a wide range of specialized procedures in one office.

Comfort-Focused Care

We understand that oral surgery can make some patients nervous. Our team works to create a calm, supportive experience, and IV sedation is available for appropriate patients and procedures.

Modern Technology

Advanced imaging and treatment planning help Dr. Duplaga evaluate anatomy, plan procedures carefully, and approach treatment with greater precision.

Clear Communication

From your initial consultation through recovery, we want you to know what to expect. Our team is available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the process.

Local Convenience

Our Wheeling office provides specialized oral surgical care for patients throughout West Virginia, eastern Ohio, and western Pennsylvania.

Comprehensive Care

Oral Surgery and Implant Dentistry

Our range of services allows us to care for patients with both common and complex oral surgical needs.

Oral surgery services include wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, bone grafting, pre-prosthetic surgery, expose and bond treatment for impacted teeth, treatment for traumatic dental and facial injuries, oral pathology, and IV sedation.

Our implant dentistry services range from traditional dental implants to advanced full-arch and complex implant solutions, including All-On-X implants, same day implants, implant-supported dentures, zygomatic implants, and pterygoid implants.

Having these options available allows Dr. Duplaga to develop treatment plans based on the patient’s anatomy, restorative needs, and long-term goals.

Modern Technology

Precision Starts With Information

Successful oral surgery begins with a clear understanding of each patient’s anatomy and treatment needs.

Our practice uses modern imaging and surgical technology to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care. Detailed imaging can provide important information about teeth, bone structure, nerves, sinuses, and surrounding anatomy before surgery begins.

Technology is an important part of our practice, but it is only one piece of the patient experience. We combine advanced tools with careful evaluation and personalized planning to determine the most appropriate treatment for each individual.
