Team Members

The staff at Wheaton Oral Surgery & Implant Center have one main goal — to ensure patients are informed and satisfied throughout their experience. From our well-versed administrative personnel to our highly experienced surgical staff, each member of the team excels at putting the patient first. The administrative team is always ready to answer questions on billing and finances, while the surgical team is constantly staying abreast of the latest developments in the field.

Wheaton Oral Surgery & Implant Center

For patients seeking services from an oral surgeon, Wheaton Oral Surgery & Implant Center is the premier option. Dr. Scherer and his staff use only the most advanced dental technologies to ensure the patient experience is smooth and easy. Through the use of dental implants, wisdom teeth extraction, bone grafting, and more, our practice has assisted thousands of patients achieve the smiles they’ve always dreamed of.

Dental Implants

Patients who are missing one or more teeth should consider dental implants. They are the premier solution for replacing lost teeth, as they last longer and have better results than every other form of treatment. Dental implants are tiny screws inserted into the jawbone that support replacement teeth. Because they are secured in the jawbone, they are completely stable and won’t loosen or slip out of place.

All-on-4

If patients are considering dental implants, have had a traumatic dental injury, or are concerned about changes to their facial profile, bone grafting is an excellent way to fix these issues. Bone grafting involves taking a small sample of bone from another part of the body or a donor and using it to stimulate bone growth in the jaw. After the graft is placed, the jaw bonds to it for denser bone structure.

Bone Grafting

When patients have multiple or all of their teeth missing, All-on-4 dental implants are the ideal solution for a complete arch replacement. Rather than use a single dental implant for each missing tooth, the All-on-4 system supports an entire upper or lower bridge on just four implants. In many cases, patients start the day without teeth, spend an hour or two in surgery, and then leave Dr. Scherer’s office with a beautiful new smile.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth often cause more problems than they solve. For many patients, these teeth grow in at an angle instead of straight up and down. This causes misalignment, pain, susceptibility to decay, and other issues. Because of that, Dr. Scherer often recommends having these teeth removed before they cause harm. Wisdom teeth removal can be done under IV sedation so patients are completely unaware of what’s going on.

Partnership & Coordination

Referring Doctors

Wheaton Oral Surgery & Implant Center is proud to partner with doctors and other medical practitioners. Our practice kindly accepts referrals from across the healthcare spectrum in an effort to provide coordinated care for patients. For doctors that are seeking an oral surgeon to perform a procedure for a patient, our practice has a convenient referral form that can be filled out prior to their consultation.

Community Outreach

Each professional employed by Wheaton Oral Surgery & Implant Center is dedicated to serving the community. Because of that, we offer several community outreach efforts to make life better for area residents. For example, one program currently available to the public is American Heart Association CPR training classes. Our goal is to be both caring and passionate so we can serve as a role model.
