Trusted Arkansas Oral Surgery from Our Doctors
Dr. Matthew McDonough is a native of Northeast Arkansas. After graduating from Jonesboro High School, he obtained his undergraduate education at Arkansas State University, earning a B.S. in biological sciences with a minor in chemistry.
He went on to the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry where he completed his dental education and earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS).
Following dental school, Dr. McDonough completed two one-year internships in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS)—one at the University of Texas Southwestern/John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth, Texas and another at St. Luke’s Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
He then completed a four-year residency and certificate in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he received extensive instruction in the diagnosis and treatment of a myriad afflictions of the face, mouth, and jaws and the management of complex surgical patients.
After graduating from residency, Dr. McDonough worked in private practice in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio for four years before making the decision to return to his hometown to join the well-established practice of Dr. James Phillips.
Dr. McDonough is well-trained and offers exceptional skill in all areas of the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Dr. James Phillips majored in Athletics and Biology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. After graduation, he served as an Army Infantry Officer (SF) in Vietnam and Korea (2nd Infantry Division).
Dr. Phillips entered the oral and maxillofacial residency at Wilmington Medical Center in Wilmington, Delaware, and completed his residency in 1979. In 1980, Dr. Phillips opened his practice in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Dental Implants
Dental implants at Northeast Arkansas Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery consist of three parts: the implant, the crown, and the abutment, which connects the crown to the implant. The implant, made of titanium, is threaded like a screw to secure it firmly in the bone.
Dental implants are primarily used to replace one or more missing teeth, often in conjunction with bridges or dentures. They also help maintain the shape and density of the jawbone, supporting the facial structure and surrounding soft tissues like the gums, cheeks, and lips. Implants provide natural-looking results and make for easier chewing and eating.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Maxillofacial surgery in Jonesboro addresses conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, face, and neck.
When a problem is too complex for standard dental treatments, your dentist or orthodontist may refer you to a maxillofacial surgeon.
There are various reasons you might need maxillofacial surgery, such as correcting overbites, underbites, or jaw asymmetry. This surgery can enhance both your health and your appearance.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
The four molars located at the very back corners of your mouth are known as wisdom teeth and generally emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Wisdom teeth frequently become impacted, which can lead to dental health issues.
If this occurs, Dr. McDonough or Dr. Phillips can remove them to prevent complications like tooth decay, cavities, cysts, and infections.
IV Sedation
Many people feel anxious about visiting the dentist. At Northeast Arkansas Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we offer IV sedation dentistry in a safe, respectful, and compassionate setting to help you feel more comfortable.
IV sedation is delivered through your arm or hand. During IV sedation, patients breathe independently while their breathing and heart rate are monitored, remaining responsive to the doctor's prompts.
