Services
We provide dental implants to replace one, several, or all missing teeth. Each implant includes a titanium screw, an abutment, and a prosthetic tooth designed to resemble natural teeth. Dental implants help maintain tooth alignment and support everyday eating. Our team guides patients through every stage of treatment with personalized care throughout the process always.
Orthognathic surgery is an effective option we offer once jaw growth is complete. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and commonly takes two to four hours. We strive to complete surgery from inside the mouth whenever possible. Patients generally resume work or school within one to three weeks. Initial jaw healing typically takes about six weeks.
We provide Wisdom Teeth Removal to address complications caused by impacted, improperly positioned, or overcrowded third molars. Our team evaluates each patient with examinations and x-rays to determine the appropriate treatment approach. The procedure is performed with patient comfort in mind and may help prevent future oral health concerns. Recovery guidance is provided to support proper healing.
The All-on-4 treatment concept offers a solution for replacing multiple missing teeth with an implant-supported prosthetic arch. Our approach places implants at strategic angles to enhance support within the jawbone. We provide careful treatment planning to help determine whether this option can reduce the need for additional procedures such as bone grafting. People

Absolutely wonderful - I'd been putting off my wisdom teeth extraction for quite some time but decided to proceed forward after my initial consult + after seeing the positive reviews about Dr. Wallace's office. On the day of surgery everyone from his clinical team introduced themselves to me & was so kind. They each made me feel comfortable and were thorough in providing post-op instructions to both me & my boyfriend. It was all around such a positive experience and I would recommend Dr Wallace to any of my friends and family - thank you all for everything!

Dr. Wallace was excellent. He has removed the wisdom teeth for all five of our children. The most recent procedure was for our youngest daughter. Dr. Wallace is experienced, personable, and did an excellent job. Our children have never had complications. All of them recovered quickly. If we had any more children, we would take them to Dr. Wallace!

Had to have an implant done to replace a rear molar. Dallas Oral Surgery did the extraction and post placement. They are probably not the least expensive in town but they are certainly one of the best. Excellent equipment, software and imaging so you get a clear picture of what's going to happen. The nicest, most efficient staff that seem to enjoy their jobs and their clients well-being. And, Dr Wallace conveys his knowledge and experience without even trying. Does a great job explaining everything involved and provides the personal touch to give you peace of mind. Shout out to Jennifer, Sherry and all the others for being caring and great at what they do. I am one day post-surgery without any pain. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Here is all you need to know: Dr. McKnight is an excellent surgeon with a caring "bedside manner" that is focused on listening to his patients and addressing their needs for expertise and compassion. Both his office and medical staff were clearly chosen for their high level of competence, as well as their ability to reflect the dedication to a very clear standard of patient care set by the physicians. This, I believe, makes Dallas Oral Surgery Associates first on the list of dental medical providers in DFW when looking for this type of specialized care. And just so you know, I almost never write reviews, but this one practically writes itself!

My dentist recommended Dr Wallace for my implant. I checked his reviews which were all amazing. I was also drawn to the fact that he uses a surgery center and has an anesthesiologist. I researched a few other oral surgeons, but I decided to go with him and he has exceeded my expectations! His implant work was excellent. His team is professional, friendly and extremely efficient. They sent me flowers (thats never happened!) and Dr Wallace contacted me personally by text the evening after my surgery to see how I was doing. Another first for me. The entire experience has been amazing. I highly recommend Dr Wallace and his staff!

Everything is going really well. I only need to take Tylenol for pain and theres really not much of that at all. I breathe better out of my left side of my nose than I ever have how amazing. You did a really good job and your staff is excellent. Sashay did a very nice IV, perfect the very first time. Lindsay had a wonderful way of letting me know what was happening as she put me off into sleep land. Last fall I think Kelli was the nurse that was there when I woke up. She made me feel at ease and knew exactly how quickly to let me move after the surgery. I will call and schedule my two week follow up. I didnt see anywhere on emails or text that one was booked just yet. Keep up the good work and keep that staff. What a great team you are!

I have been working with Dr. McKnight for about 6 months. He has totally restored my mouth from a botched extraction and has provided me with exceptional customer service. My prescriptions were always called in a couple days prior to surgery so I always had all the medications I needed ahead of time. His staff is easy to get a hold of and also provides top customer service. Dr McKnight along with Dr Jackson have been such a great team to work with. After my most recent surgery, Dr McKnight and Dr Jackson sent a beautiful plant as a gift to my house. I could not recommend this group of doctors enough!

I have had my wisdom teeth removed and a separate procedure involving two implants with Dr. Wallace. The staff is as equally professional and courteous as the doctor. Information is vital and The Dallas Oral Surgery Center Associates staff does a phenomenal job of providing you with everything you need on your dental journey.

The most incredible dental/surgery experience of my life.
The staff are incredible and should be acknowledged for the quality of service and professionalism they provide. Dr. Wallace was remarkable; I had oral surgery in the morning, yet was functioning and pain-free by the afternoon. It was as if the surgery never took place.
I cannot recommend a facility and Dr. more highly.

Dr. Wallace and his group did a great job with my wisdom teeth surgery. I knew exactly what to expect going in and felt welcome and comfortable. Even after my surgery, they were checking in and quick to answer any questions I had. Im 2 days post-op and barely in pain/ swelling. Definitely recommend!

I highly recommend Dr. Wallace, who did my tooth extraction and implant. I was extremely anxious about the procedure because I would be put under anesthesia for it. I always have breathing difficulties after waking up from anesthesia, so I have to have a breathing treatment. They were well prepared for this and gave me breathing treatments both before and after surgery. Also, l I take Prolia, which can increase the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a rare condition where jawbone tissue dies, so this was also a concerned. We discussed this during my pre op consultation, and Dr. Wallace assured me it would not be a problem. Several days before surgery, staff called in my prescriptions so I had them at home and ready to use. After surgery, I was sent home with everything I needed for full recovery, and staff gave my husband clear instructions for post op care. My biggest surprise came once I got home. Id drifted off to sleep from the pain med and woke up to see a gorgeous floral arrangement sent from Dr. Wallaces office on my bedside table. Definitely lifted my spirits-good medicine. Dr. Wallace and his team are the BEST! Need oral surgery? Who ya gonna call? Dr. Wallace!

I cannot say enough good things about Dallas Oral Surgery Associates. Our 3 year old needed a tooth extracted and while simple, it is still scary. Dr. Wallace and his staff obviously get this and treat patients and parents with such kindness and empathy. You can really tell they care. The RN, Kelli, immediately put my little one at ease. Lindsay, the CRNA, was so patient with our questions. Everything went exactly as described to us. The procedure was quick and we all left there feeling peaceful and barely rattled by what could have been more stressful. And to top it off we received a personal text from Dr. Wallace that evening to check on my daughter. 10 out of 10 experience.

Dr. Wallace and his staff took excellent care of my daughter, and we couldnt be more grateful. After visiting other oral surgeon around town, I immediately felt reassured by the confidence Dr. Wallace had in her case. The surgery went perfectly, and I was so impressed to receive a personal text from him that evening to check on her recovery. The entire office provides exceptional carelook no further, Dr. Wallace is truly the best!
