Ballard Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, John K. Tidwell (Seattle, WA)

We, the healthcare team of Dr. Tidwell's practice are here to provide the highest quality oral and maxillofacial surgical care to adults and children, in a friendly, caring, safe, and comfortable environment. Oral and maxillofacial surgery encompasses the art and science of diagnosis, surgical and related treatment of disease, injuries, defects and esthetic aspects of the jaw and face. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a dental specialty in much the same way that orthopedic surgery is a specialty of the medical profession. Oral surgeons complete an additional four to six years of hospital-based residency training beyond the four years of general dental training.
