Oral Surgery at Rolla Periodontics and Implant Center
If you are searching for an oral surgeon near me in Rolla, MO, Dr. Daniel Bruin and the team at Rolla Periodontics and Implant Center are here to help. We provide safe, comfortable oral surgery for patients throughout Rolla and the surrounding region, from straightforward tooth extractions to wisdom tooth removal. This page will walk you through what we offer and what makes our approach different from a typical dental office visit.
Specialty Surgical Training Beyond a General Dentist
Not every extraction needs a specialist, but many benefit from one. Dr. Bruin is a board-certified periodontist, which means he completed years of additional surgical training after dental school specifically focused on the gums, jawbone, and structures that support your teeth. That advanced education, completed through the United States Army Advanced Education Program in Periodontics, gives him a deeper understanding of bone healing, complex root anatomy, and how to manage cases that a general dentist might refer out. When you are one of the local oral surgeons patients are searching for, that training matters, especially for impacted teeth, difficult root positions, or extractions near the sinus or nerve.

Comfortable Care with Sedation Options
We know that surgery of any kind can feel intimidating, so we build patient comfort into every visit. Nitrous oxide, sometimes called laughing gas, is available to help you relax during your procedure while staying fully responsive. We also keep warm blankets and warmed, scented face towels on hand so your appointment feels calm rather than clinical. Dr. Bruin will talk through your options with you before any procedure begins, so you always know what to expect and never feel rushed into a decision.
Our Oral Surgery Services in Rolla, MO
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a tooth simply cannot be saved due to severe decay, trauma, or advanced gum disease. When that happens, we perform gentle, precise extractions and talk with you about replacement options, including dental implants, so you are never left with a gap you did not plan for.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Third molars, better known as wisdom teeth, are among the procedures Dr. Bruin performs most frequently. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, crowding your other teeth, or causing pain, we offer thorough evaluations using CBCT 3D imaging and a surgical approach built around your comfort.
