Oral Surgeon in Glen Ellyn, IL
Horizon OMS of Chicago is a full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery practice based in nearby Lombard — about 5 miles east of Glen Ellyn — providing surgical care for wisdom teeth, dental implants, urgent extractions, bone grafting, IV sedation, TMJ conditions, corrective jaw surgery, oral pathology, and advanced implant reconstruction.
Oral surgery care for Glen Ellyn patients
Our office at 6 E Saint Charles Rd in Lombard is a short drive from downtown Glen Ellyn — generally 12–15 minutes via Roosevelt Road (IL-38) or St. Charles Road. We are on the same Metra Union Pacific West line as Glen Ellyn for patients who prefer to take the train.
Many Glen Ellyn patients come to us through referrals from their general dentist or orthodontist; others reach out directly for an urgent problem, a second opinion, or a more complex surgical plan. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Ali Al-Qudsi provides full-scope surgical care with careful diagnosis, modern imaging, and a clear explanation of options.
Our role is not to replace your routine dental care. We work as a surgical extension of your dentist's office, communicate findings clearly, and return you to your referring dentist for ongoing restorative and preventive care when appropriate.
Common reasons Glen Ellyn patients visit
- Wisdom teeth removal, including impacted third molars, pain, infection, or orthodontic-related concerns
- Dental extractions for broken teeth, non-restorable teeth, severe decay, infection, or failed root canal treatment
- Urgent oral surgery evaluation for swelling, dental infection, facial pain, broken teeth, or post-extraction concerns
- Dental implant surgery, implant planning, implant replacement, and coordination with your restorative dentist

- Oral pathology and biopsy for mouth lesions, tissue changes, cysts, or concerning findings
Getting to our Lombard office from Glen Ellyn
From most of Glen Ellyn, the most direct route to our Lombard office is east on Roosevelt Road (IL-38), which becomes St. Charles Road as it crosses into Lombard. The drive is typically 12–15 minutes depending on traffic and time of day.
For patients coming from north Glen Ellyn (near College of DuPage or Crescent Boulevard), St. Charles Road runs directly east into downtown Lombard. From south Glen Ellyn, Butterfield Road (IL-56) and Main Street are useful alternates, especially during rush hour.
Patients who prefer not to drive can take the Metra Union Pacific West line from the Glen Ellyn station to Lombard — both stations are on the same line, with a typical ride of well under 10 minutes. Our office is a short walk from the Lombard Metra station.
Why local access matters
Oral surgery is often time-sensitive. A painful tooth, facial swelling, or a wisdom tooth flare-up can change quickly. For Glen Ellyn patients, being a short drive away makes it easier to schedule an evaluation, review imaging, and coordinate treatment with your dentist without traveling into the city.
Local access also matters after surgery. Follow-up visits, questions about healing, and coordination with your dentist are easier when the surgical office is nearby and communicates clearly.
