5 Best Oral Surgeon in Chicago (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Wisdom teeth don't pick a convenient week to start hurting. The oral surgeon practices below have logged 3,249 Google reviews between them, and every single one sits between 4.6 and 4.9, a tighter cluster than you'll find in most Chicago specialties. That narrow spread means the real decision comes down to location and what the reviews describe about the actual procedure day.

Short answer: ORA Oral Surgery and Implant Studio in Uptown leads on volume, rated 4.8 across 1,187 reviews. Chicago Oral Surgery and Implant Center and Cameo Dental Specialists both hold 4.9, with 600 and 681 reviews respectively. All five cluster tightly on rating, so recent review detail (sedation options, same-day availability, follow-up calls) matters more here than the star score alone.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average at time of writing. Review volume measures how many patients have actually left a review, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating against that volume, so a high rating built on a handful of reviews scores lower than one built on hundreds. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does oral surgery cost in Chicago? (2026)

None of these practices publish a fixed price list for procedures like extractions or implants. One reviewer at Chicago Oral Surgery and Implant Center detailed their own April 2026 bill (a consultation and CT scan, then a separate surgical fee for a single extraction), but that’s one patient’s case, not a published rate, and costs vary by insurance, sedation choice, and complexity.

Serving all of Chicago

Between Uptown, West Loop, Bucktown, and South Loop, these cover most of the city’s core without requiring a long drive from downtown. If you’re searching for an oral surgeon near me in Chicago, whichever neighborhood you’re already in is usually the practical tiebreaker.

What to ask before an oral surgery consultation

  • What sedation options are available, and what does each one cost?
  • Is a full cost breakdown provided before the day of surgery?
  • Will the surgeon or a staff member follow up with me after the procedure?
  • What’s the expected recovery timeline for this specific extraction or implant?
  • Does the practice accept my dental insurance, and what’s typically out of pocket?
  • Is there a same-day option if I’m in acute pain?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these picks?

We pulled real Google Business Profile data for oral surgeons across Chicago and ranked them on rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page was last verified in July 2026 using live Google data, and we recheck it periodically as ratings and review counts shift.

Do I need a referral to see an oral surgeon?

Often yes, from a general dentist, though several of these practices also accept direct bookings for wisdom teeth and emergency extractions.

How painful is wisdom tooth removal really?

Reviewers across these practices describe a range from mild pressure under local anesthesia to no memory of the procedure under sedation. Ask about sedation options during your consultation.

The bottom line

With every practice on this page rated 4.6 or higher, you’re unlikely to pick wrong on quality alone. ORA’s review volume and consistent mentions of upfront pricing make it a safe default; just confirm sedation cost and insurance coverage before you book.
