Oral Surgery Specialists of Tennessee

Oral Surgery Specialists of Tennessee (OSST) is a prominent oral and maxillofacial surgery practice located in Oak Ridge, TN, with an additional location in Crossville. The clinic is dedicated to providing advanced and compassionate oral healthcare to the communities it serves. OSST operates as a clinic, housing multiple board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, including Drs. Andrew Cheung, Lindsey Nagy, and Travis Witherington, who bring extensive experience to their practice. OSST offers a full spectrum of oral surgery procedures. Key services include dental implant-supported solutions for replacing missing teeth, bone grafting and associated procedures to prepare the jaw for implants or improve functionality, and routine and complex tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth removal. They also provide corrective jaw surgery to address irregularities and realign the jaw and teeth for optimal function, as well as treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The clinic is equipped to handle oral pathology, facial trauma, and reconstructive surgery following injuries, and performs pre-prosthetic surgery to prepare the mouth for dentures and exposure of impacted teeth for orthodontic treatment. A significant aspect of OSST's approach is their commitment to patient comfort and safety. They are experts in pain and anxiety control, offering various types of sedation, including general anesthesia/deep sedation and conscious sedation, administered by surgeons licensed by the State of Tennessee. The clinic prides itself on utilizing cutting-edge technology to ensure precise and predictable outcomes. They were the first practice in their area to introduce a cone beam scanner for 3D computed tomography (CT) scans, which provides detailed images of teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures with negligible radiation exposure. This advanced imaging facilitates accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. Furthermore, OSST is a pioneer in East Tennessee for implementing the NAV Dynamic 3D Navigation System, which provides real-time, turn-by-turn guidance during dental implant surgery for optimal implant placement, angle, and depth. This integration of technology enhances the predictability and success of procedures. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the professionalism, compassion, and friendliness of both the surgeons and staff at OSST. Patients consistently report positive experiences, emphasizing the clear explanations of procedures, comfortable environment, and successful outcomes, often noting a pain-free or minimal discomfort experience. The practice also emphasizes collaboration with general dentists and other healthcare providers to ensure a seamless treatment process for their patients. Their motto, "Skilled Hands, Compassionate Hearts," reflects their commitment to both clinical excellence and patient-centered care.
