Hattiesburg’s Premier Oral Surgery Team

At Hattiesburg Oral Surgery, our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Griffin West, Dr. Alston Owen, and Dr. Evan Sobiesk, provide comprehensive oral and maxillofacial surgical care to patients throughout Hattiesburg and the surrounding areas. Our doctors practice the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, with expertise in dental implants, wisdom teeth and other tooth extractions, bone grafting, IV sedation, corrective jaw surgery, facial injuries, facial pain, and TMJ disorders.

As Hattiesburg’s premier oral surgery team, we believe exceptional care begins with trust, education, and open communication. Our doctors take the time to explain your diagnosis, discuss your treatment options, and walk you through your surgical plan so you know what to expect before, during, and after your procedure. From your first consultation through recovery, our goal is to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your care.

With an experienced surgical team, state-of-the-art advanced technology, and a longstanding commitment to our community, Hattiesburg Oral Surgery combines expertise with personalized, compassionate care—because every patient deserves to understand their treatment and feel confident in the team providing it.

Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Bennett York

For nearly 56 years, Dr. Bennett York dedicated his career to caring for the people of Hattiesburg and the surrounding communities. Beginning his practice in 1970, Dr. York built what would become Hattiesburg Oral Surgery and Implant Center from the ground up, establishing a foundation rooted in exceptional surgical care, compassion, integrity, and a genuine commitment to his patients.

Throughout his remarkable career, Dr. York became much more than a respected oral and maxillofacial surgeon. He became a trusted name in our community, caring for generations of families and forming lasting relationships with patients, dentists, healthcare professionals, and friends throughout South Mississippi. Over the course of more than five decades, he touched countless lives—relieving pain, restoring smiles, improving oral health, and helping patients through some of their most important moments of care.

In May 2026, Dr. York retired from the practice he devoted his life to building. While his daily presence around the office is greatly missed, his influence remains woven into the heart of Hattiesburg Oral Surgery. The standards he established, the relationships he nurtured, and his dedication to putting patients first continue to guide our practice today.

We are incredibly grateful for Dr. York’s nearly 56 years of service to Hattiesburg and the surrounding areas and for the legacy he entrusted to us. As Hattiesburg Oral Surgery moves into its next chapter, we are proud to carry forward the foundation he built while continuing to provide our community with the experience, compassion, and exceptional care that have defined this practice for generations.

Thank you, Dr. York, for a lifetime of service and a legacy that will continue for generations to come.

We provide a state-of-the-art surgery center with a surgery team trained in assisting with I.V. sedation to make our patients more comfortable during the procedure.

Our mission at Hattiesburg Oral Surgery & Implant Center is to provide the highest level of care, delivered by the most qualified surgeons, who are committed to the safety and comfort of our patients before, during and after surgery.
