Dr. Wayne L O'Roark
 

Wayne L. O’Roark, BS, DDS, DABOI, graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science in general biological sciences. He received his dental degree with honors from the same institution. Dr. O’Roark was president of his graduating class, elected to the Gorgas Odontological Honor Society, and Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Society.

He was selected to serve a rotating residency at the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in San Francisco, California. This program is taught by board-certified specialists in oral surgery, prosthetics, periodontology, and general dentistry. In addition, hospital rotations were made through general surgery, orthopedic surgery, and operating room anesthesia. Following completion of this program, Dr. O’Roark was assigned to the staff of the U.S. Public Service outpatient clinic in Honolulu, Hawaii.

A majority of Dr. O'Roark's work is implant dentistry and its associated prosthetics. He has experience extending for over 30 years in the field and has placed in excess of 5000 implants. A  study of his implant patients is showing a success rate of approximately 92% over the entire period, including those designs that are no longer used.  The implants currently being used have shown a success rate in the area of 98%.  This experience translates into confidence in the procedures necessary to transform your particular dental needs into functional, aesthetic, and comfortable prosthetic reconstructions. His constant contact with implantologists throughout the world assures you of the latest technology.

Dr. O'Roark is proficient in all of the implant types and prosthetics and can provide you with the proper implant procedures as dictated by your particular jaw conditions and your desires.  Function is the fundamental reason for implants but this is followed closely by the aesthetic desires.
