5-Star Dental Patient Reviews
Top-Rated on Google
"I explained to the very kind lady at the front desk that I was really nervous about my appointment. It was immediately apparent that my concern was important to them. When I was greeted by Dr. Stewart, and to each one of his staff, my concerns were asked about and responded to in a professional and gentle manner. In my subsequent visits, I realized that they treat every one of their patients in the same manner. Dr. Stewart and his staff completed my dental work to a level higher than I had anticipated. They are a blessing to me. I thank them for their kindness and expertise."
"Did my research and found these dental surgeons to be the best in the Prosper area. The brand new office, an extension of Dallas office. Dr. John-Michael Stewart was exceptional to work with on my dental implant surgery. Very personable, educational, and patient. The work he did was excellent, really knows his stuff in his field. Lori, the office manager is a pleasure to work with. They will work with you, your insurance, and your other dentist. Highly recommend."
"Wow what can I say… it was a long time coming. Due to fear, I had neglected seeing a dentist. After 30 years, time took its toll. I love how Dr. Walker has such a great staff, and the facility is very state-of-the-art. I am soooooo happy I did this… plus, my teeth are pearly white. I haven’t seen that in ages. Thank you, Dr. Walker, for showing me that going to the dentist is really not bad at all. #Donotfearthedentist"

Frequently Asked Questions
Before having any type of oral surgery performed, it’s important to make sure that you’re as informed as possible. Check out the following FAQs for helpful answers to some of the inquiries that our patients have asked in the past.
What Level of Education is Required to Become an Oral Surgeon?
The first step on the path to becoming an oral surgeon is to enroll in an accredited dental school, which requires earning a bachelor’s degree. Completing dental school usually takes around three to four years; upon graduation, a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) is earned. Afterward, anyone wishing to become an oral surgeon must complete a hospital-based residency, which can take four years or longer.
Like any other kind of dentist or dental specialist, oral surgeons are expected to pursue continuing education to stay licensed. Each state sets its own standards regarding the number of continuing education hours that oral surgeons need to complete.
Should I See an Oral Surgeon for Wisdom Tooth Removal?
While many general dentists offer wisdom tooth extractions, it’s often beneficial to see an oral surgeon in Prosper for this procedure instead. Some cases of impacted or otherwise problematic wisdom teeth are more complex than others; oral surgeons are often better equipped to handle these kinds of situations and deal with any complications that come up thanks to their advanced training.
On top of that, oral surgeons tend to have multiple options for keeping their patients as calm and comfortable as possible during wisdom tooth extractions and other advanced procedures. For example, our team offers IV sedation, which can put you in an advanced state of relaxation where you’re completely unbothered by what’s going on around you; this can be a great option for patients who are anxious about having their wisdom teeth taken out.
Is Periodontal Disease Completely Curable?
The answer to this question depends on how advanced your periodontal disease currently is. If it’s still in the early gingivitis stage, it may be possible to reverse it by adopting better oral hygiene habits. But if it has already reached the periodontitis stage, then completely curing it is no longer possible. That being said, a periodontist in Prosper can help you effectively manage your periodontal disease so that it doesn’t grow any worse.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Oral Surgery?
It’s important to bear in mind that not all dental insurance plans are exactly the same. Whether your insurance provider is willing to help pay for your oral surgery depends on the details of your plan as well as the specific type of service that you need.
Our team wants you to be able to get the high-quality care you deserve without breaking the bank, so we’ll be glad to go over your dental insurance plan with you and explain how you can get the most out of your benefits. You can also count on us to file any necessary claims.
