Meet Your Oral Surgeon
Our practice was founded by Dr. David Minto, an experienced oral surgeon with a passion for gentle, compassionate care. Dr. Minto is known for his amiable demeanor but also for his experience providing dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, and other treatments. Dr. Minto has family ties in the Baldwin County area and is happy to now live so close to Gulf Shores with his wife and daughter.

Our Treatment Options
Minto Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provides a full range of oral surgery solutions. Some of our most common treatments include:
Dental Implants
We meet many patients who have either lost teeth or anticipate having teeth removed. When teeth are pulled, it is crucial to replace them ASAP in order to prevent further bone deterioration. Dental implants represent a secure and convenient way to restore your smile.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Many patients wind up at the oral surgeon’s office because their wisdom teeth have come in and are causing them pain. Wisdom teeth are usually dealt with best through extraction. Dr. Minto has ample experience extracting wisdom teeth.
Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are not the only ones that may need to be pulled. Any tooth can become so damaged or broken that it can no longer be fixed. In these situations, extraction is the best way forward. Dr. Minto can perform both simple and surgical tooth extractions.
Bone Grafting
When teeth are lost, it may cause a loss in bone tissue. This can cause the face to take on a sunken appearance, and it may also make dental implants less feasible. The answer is to restore the lost bone, something that can be done through a procedure called bone grafting.
Sinus Lift
Patients in Gulf Shores, AL, seeking dental implants may require a sinus lift to create enough bone for a secure fit. Those who experience bone loss in their upper jaw can rely on Minto Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to raise their sinus floor and add the bone necessary for proper dental implant placement.
