Directions and Transportation Options

We understand that when you are planning for oral surgery, easy navigation is essential. Here is how our locations relate to the Webster Groves neighborhood:

To the South County Location: From the heart of Webster Groves, this is a straightforward drive south. By taking South Elm Avenue or S. Rock Hill Road to Watson Road (Route 366), you can connect easily to Lindbergh Boulevard or I-270 South. This route avoids the heaviest downtown traffic, offering a stress-free drive of approximately 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic flow.
To the Creve Coeur Location: For those located on the northern side of Webster Groves (closer to I-44), the Creve Coeur office is equally accessible. Taking I-44 West to I-270 North allows for a quick highway commute to the Olive Boulevard exit. This trip is generally under 20 minutes, making it a viable option for midday appointments.

While most of our patients arrive via personal vehicle, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available throughout Webster Groves and offer a comfortable “door-to-door” option for patients undergoing sedation who cannot drive themselves home. For those utilizing public transit, MetroBus lines connecting through the Brentwood or Shrewsbury hubs can facilitate travel toward our office corridors.

Expert Care Led by Dr. William Gray

Choosing the right surgeon is about more than just proximity; it is about trust and experience. St. Louis South Oral Surgery delivers expert oral and maxillofacial care, including wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, and corrective jaw surgery, across three convenient locations in the St. Louis area.

Led by board-certified surgeon Dr. William Gray, the practice combines over 20 years of surgical experience with cutting-edge technology to ensure safe, efficient, and personalized treatment. Patients choose us for our proven track record, compassionate approach, and a great track record for surgical outcomes that restore both function and confidence.

Our Core Services

We provide a comprehensive scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery services. Below is an overview of the treatments we offer to our Webster Groves neighbors.

Dental Implants

Dr. William Gray specializes in dental implants. Over the past fifteen years, dental implant techniques, processes, and systems have undergone phenomenal advancement, and our oral surgeons remain abreast of this technology. Implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

For patients seeking immediate results, we also offer Teeth-in-a-Day and full-mouth rehabilitation options. If you are considering replacing dentures, you may want to explore All-on-4 treatment concepts.

Bone Grafting

Dental implants are the preferred replacement method for missing teeth because they restore full functionality to the mouth; however, implants need to be firmly anchored to the jawbone to be effective. If the jawbone lacks the necessary quality or quantity of bone, bone grafting may be required. This procedure not only creates a solid base for implants but also helps preserve the jaw structure, preventing the “sunken” look often associated with tooth loss. We emphasize jaw bone health as a prerequisite for successful restoration.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. They most often erupt (emerge through the gums) during a person’s late teens or twenties. Very often the jaw area is too small to accommodate these teeth, leading to pain, infection, or crowding.

Our team specializes in the comfortable and safe removal of wisdom teeth. We encourage early examination of wisdom teeth, typically in the mid-teenage years, to prevent future complications.

Impacted Teeth

An impacted tooth means that it is blocked or unable to fully erupt and function properly. While this is most common with wisdom teeth, it can also happen with the canine teeth, which are critical for the bite. We offer specialized surgical exposure for impacted canines to help guide them into position, often working in tandem with your orthodontist.

Corrective Jaw Surgery

Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, is performed to correct a wide range of minor and major skeletal and dental irregularities, including the misalignment of jaws and teeth. Surgery can improve chewing, speaking, and breathing. While the patient’s appearance may be dramatically enhanced as a result of their surgery, orthognathic surgery is performed primarily to correct functional problems.

Advanced Technology and Patient Comfort

We believe that modern technology leads to safer surgeries and faster recovery times. St. Louis South Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery features state-of-the-art Cone Beam 3D imaging technology for the best possible patient care. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, this technology provides us with a three-dimensional view of your facial anatomy, nerves, and bone structure, allowing for precise surgical planning.

Anesthesia & Sedation

We understand that the idea of oral surgery can cause anxiety. Several methods of anesthesia are available to make your experience as comfortable as possible. The method of anesthesia that is chosen for or by a patient depends upon the nature of the surgical procedure and the patient’s level of apprehension. Our surgeons are extensively trained in administering IV sedation and general anesthesia within our modern office setting, ensuring you sleep comfortably through your procedure.
