Oral Surgery Associates of Colorado Springs is an oral surgery specialty practice at 5745 Erindale Drive, Suite 100, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The office is in the 80918 zip code on the north side of the city, in the Erindale Drive professional corridor near Austin Bluffs Parkway and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs campus.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the nine recognized dental specialties. Oral surgeons complete four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency training beyond dental school, covering surgical procedures of the mouth, jaws, face, and neck.

Services within the scope of oral surgery include surgical and impacted wisdom tooth extractions, dental implant placement, bone grafting for implant site preparation, apicoectomies (root-end surgeries), and the management of jaw-related pathology and trauma. Patients are typically referred to an oral surgeon by their general dentist or orthodontist for procedures that exceed the scope of general practice.

Patients consulting an oral surgeon for the first time should expect a clinical examination and imaging review before any surgical plan is presented. A written treatment plan with itemized procedural costs and anesthesia fees should be reviewed and understood before scheduling any procedure.

Anesthesia options at an oral surgery practice commonly include local anesthesia, nitrous oxide sedation, IV conscious sedation, and general anesthesia. Patients should ask specifically which anesthesia options are available and what the associated costs are.

Erindale Drive is located near the Austin Bluffs Parkway and North Union Boulevard intersection, making the office accessible from north Colorado Springs communities including Briargate, Stetson Hills, and the Woodmen Road area.
