Expert Surgical Care with Compassion and Precision

At the Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center of Santa Fe, Dr. Sean Healy and Dr. Diego Hurtado provide a full range of oral surgery procedures designed to restore your comfort, health, and confidence. Whether you require wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, or advanced jaw reconstruction, our experienced surgeons use the latest technology and gentle techniques to ensure every patient receives exceptional care.

From initial consultation to recovery, we are committed to making your surgical experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our team offers sedation options for your comfort, advanced imaging technology for precision, and compassionate communication at every step of treatment.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Dr. Sean Healy and Dr. Diego Hurtado use advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and healing time after wisdom tooth removal. Sedation can ensure your comfort, and platelet-rich fibrin, containing growth factors, naturally stimulates the healing process. At a follow-up appointment, one of our surgeons will monitor your recovery.

Extractions

If you require an extraction, our surgeons will use gentle techniques to remove your damaged tooth and preserve the surrounding bone structure. Our sedation options can also keep you comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. Often, we can combine extractions with same-day dental implants.

Dental Implants

Dr. Healy and Dr. Hurtado offer several types of implants, including traditional and same-day implants, as well as the All-on-4® method. We are one of the few practices in New Mexico to use a state-of-the-art live navigation surgery system for more accurate implant placement.

Bone Grafting

During bone grafting, our surgeons will replace lost tissue and rebuild your jaw structure. We will typically use a sample of your own bone, taken from your hard palate or another part of your body, or a synthetic material. The new tissue will strengthen the jaw, forming a solid base for implants.

Sinus Lifts

Sinus lifts are similar to bone grafting, and our surgeons may recommend this treatment if you have lost bone volume on your upper jaw. This option will restore lost tissue and also reposition your sinus membranes. In some cases, our surgeons can eliminate the need for a sinus lift by placing zygomatic implants.

Biopsies

In some cases, your general dentist or physician may refer you to us for a biopsy. Dr. Healy or Dr. Hurtado will take a small tissue sample, numbing your mouth so that the procedure involves minimal discomfort. Then, the sample will be sent to a lab, where it will be tested for cancer and other oral health concerns.

Facial Trauma

Following an auto accident, sports injury, or other incident and initial emergency treatment, Dr. Healy and Dr. Hurtado can restore your appearance, oral function, and oral health. Using advanced imaging technology, such as cone beam scans, they will determine the right treatment option for you.

See why our patients love us

My son had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr Hurtado. He had absolutely no swelling or pain whatsoever after the procedure. He even stopped taking pain medicine after the first day, as he stated he did not have any pain and didn't need it. I am truly impressed with this staff and procedure done at this office. I highly recommend them to any parents who are looking for an easy wisdom tooth extraction for their kiddos. Thank you to the Doc and his lovely staff!

Dr Diego Hurtado and his office and staff are just wonderful. Dr Hurtado answered all my many questions respectfully and with much patience and kindness. The extraction went well and the healing process also. He saw me for a follow up. He even noted that I should check out an unrelated tooth with my local dentist which turned out to have a cavity. He is a highly observant oral surgeon that goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Healy and his team provided excellent care for me when I had my wisdom teeth extracted. The preoperative instructions were clear and the surgery day was very organized and went according to plan. I woke up from the procedure without any pain and I only needed one dose of the medication prescribed for the recovery period. Dr. Healy’s office followed up to see how I was doing and I really felt cared for. I recommend Dr. Healy to my friends and family and I would happily return to the practice!

Dr. Healy has performed surgical wisdom teeth removal on both my teenagers and they both had a positive experience. I noticed that even within one years time he changed his practice so when it came to my daughter we followed her regime as given and her recovery went even better than my son's. Dr. Healy has a great patient manner and develops trust with his patients. He takes his time and explains things very well. Thank you Dr. Healy for doing such a great job with both my children. The dental assistants are wonderful!

The entire staff all have hearts of gold. Dr. Healey and his assistant Charlie were amazing with my wisdom teeth extraction. Not only did Dr. Healey have an excellent and professional yet warm and caring manner to him, he truly knows his stuff. I had zero fears about my surgery and I am glad my experience was with him. Highly recommended!
