Oral Surgeon in Wheaton, IL
Horizon OMS of Chicago is a full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery practice based in nearby Lombard — about 7 miles east of Wheaton — 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 Wheaton patients
Our office at 6 E Saint Charles Rd in Lombard is a short drive from Wheaton — generally 15–20 minutes via Roosevelt Road (IL-38), Geneva Road, or I-355. Wheaton and Lombard are also both on the Metra Union Pacific West line, which makes the rail option straightforward for patients who prefer not to drive.
Many Wheaton 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 such as implant reconstruction, corrective jaw surgery, or TMJ evaluation. 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 Wheaton 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
- Bone grafting, socket preservation, ridge preservation, and implant site development
- IV sedation for patients who need additional comfort or are having more involved treatment
- TMJ evaluation, conservative management, arthrocentesis, and surgical planning when indicated
- Corrective jaw surgery for jaw imbalance, bite problems, airway concerns, and facial harmony
- Oral pathology and biopsy for mouth lesions, tissue changes, cysts, or concerning findings
Getting to our Lombard office from Wheaton
From most of Wheaton, the most direct route to our Lombard office is east on Roosevelt Road (IL-38), which becomes St. Charles Road as it approaches downtown Lombard. The drive is typically 15–20 minutes depending on traffic.
For patients in north Wheaton (near Wheaton College or the DuPage County Courthouse), Geneva Road heading east is a useful alternate. Patients who prefer highway driving can take I-355 north to the Roosevelt Road exit and continue east into Lombard.
Patients who prefer not to drive can take the Metra Union Pacific West line from the Wheaton station to Lombard — both stations are on the same line, with a typical ride of about 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 Wheaton 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.
