Welcome to our New Tampa Oral Surgery Practice.

You are fortunate to be discovering an office unique amongst oral surgery offices in the Tampa Bay area, one in which you will see creativity, original work, and a personal drive to find a better way. For example:

Since you will readily admit there are certain things in life you would rather not experience awake, we have developed a niche in providing short-duration general anesthesia with extremely rapid recovery. Gone are the days of recovering for 30 - 60 minutes to still go home sleepy, dizzy, disoriented or nauseated. (read more below)

Our office is a small, boutique-style practice, in the Tampa Palms community of New Tampa, that provides personalized out-patient oral and maxillofacial surgery services like wisdom teeth removal or routine extractions, replacement of missing teeth (roots) with dental implants, and sophisticated, very effective adult anesthesia services that are state-of-the-art and unique to our office.

Dr. Grellner started private practice in Tampa in 1989 and is the only board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon located in the community of New Tampa.

Wisdom Teeth

We welcome and treat wisdom teeth patients of all ages. But, as a result of our many years of experience in doing so, ...

... nowhere else in Tampa Bay will you find an oral surgeon so dedicated to educating parents to the very important advantages that timing, youth and other critical factors bring to making the wisdom tooth experience a good one for your son or daughter.

We have created numerous resources to demonstrate to parents of teens:

• the many problems that wisdom teeth can cause,
• the surgical risks that increase when you allow wisdom teeth to finish growing,
• why removal of wisdom teeth during a specific, short-lived stage of their growth can make the surgical experience the easiest and the least risky it may ever be for your son or daughter. Then...

Let us help you eliminate a potential source of problems for your young adult later in life in as intelligent and easy a way as possible.

New Tampa Oral Surgeon Dr. Grellner's treatment philosophy has changed over the years as he continually seeks ways to create the very best overall experience for his patients. He has found that patients do best when (wisdom) tooth removal and the anesthesia is approached in a very different way.

He realized that a slower, more gentle approach to surgical treatment dramatically reduces complications for a better result and a more comfortable recovery.  Experience has shown us that there is a point where "speedier" treatment (to do more in less time) as well as postponing treatment until later in life can and does increase the chance for problems. Our bodies don't respond as well to more aggressive treatment (unavoidable when bone is older and denser) which can result in greater and more prolonged discomfort afterwards (example: dry socket).

General Anesthesia

This same exacting philosophy applies to our innovative and exciting QuickRecover Anesthesia, the result of years of work by Dr. Grellner in creating a better, more sophisticated approach to short-duration general anesthesia.

When choosing an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, you certainly want a surgeon who is skilled surgically, but isn't the quality, sophistication and safety of the anesthetic just as important? Anesthesia is definitely an art that requires experience and finesse for the best result.

Picture this: If you are fearful of oral surgery, those fears will melt away as you drift off to sleep. After a recovery as short as 10-20 minutes, you will leave the office more alert, with fewer side effects, than ever before. Find out more HERE.

Your Teeth 

Did you know that your teeth could play an important part in your future health in more ways than you realize? While chronic dental infections are now being implicated as a possible cause for cardiovascular disease, amazingly, extracted young vital teeth, whose stem cells have been cryogenically preserved, may play a very important future role in Regenerative Medicine for our kids. Learn more about a new service we are introducing to Tampa patients HERE.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth, especially back teeth, can really make chewing of your foods much more difficult. The molars were specially created with multiple roots for a reason. Find out why HERE and what to do if prematurely lost.

Now it appears that heavy use of denture adhesive containing zinc could lead to neurological problems resulting from zinc toxicity. For more information about this from Fixodent and how the use of dental implants can minimize the need for denture adhesive, click HERE

Finally, we try to be available when you need us so that you can get the care you need without lengthy delay.
