Patients from St. Clairsville visit us for wisdom teeth, teeth that cannot be predictably restored, bone grafting before implants, impacted teeth, denture preparation, dental or facial injuries, oral tissue changes, and replacement of missing teeth. If you are unsure whether an oral surgery consultation is appropriate, our team can help you consider the next step.

Coordinating With Your Local Dentist
We work with referring dental offices on both sides of the Ohio River. Many patients come to our Wheeling office after a dentist, orthodontist, or restorative provider recommends a surgical evaluation.
Dr. Duplaga may discuss the surgical plan with your provider before treatment and share information needed for care afterward. Coordination is especially useful for implants, expose and bond procedures, and surgery that supports dentures or other restorative work.
