Receive expert care with a Medicaid oral surgeon in Chicago, IL—providing advanced, effective treatments that restore your oral health while accommodating your schedule and insurance needs.
When you need oral surgery, the last thing you should worry about is whether your insurance will be accepted. Unfortunately, many oral surgery practices in Chicago focus exclusively on private insurance or self-pay patients, creating barriers for families who rely on Medicaid for their healthcare coverage. At Sonrisa Family Dental, we take a different approach.
We proudly accept Medicaid and Medicare for oral surgery procedures, including wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, dental implants, and treatment of oral infections. Our commitment to accessible care means more families throughout Chicago can receive the surgical treatments they need without financial barriers standing in their way. Learn more about our comprehensive financing and insurance options.
Our oral surgery team provides a full range of surgical procedures covered by Medicaid when medically necessary. Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures we perform. When wisdom teeth become impacted or cause pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth, extraction becomes necessary to protect your oral health.
Tooth extractions address severely damaged or infected teeth that cannot be saved through other treatments. Whether due to advanced decay, periodontal disease, or trauma, removing a compromised tooth may be the best option for preserving your overall oral health and preventing the spread of infection.
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. While Medicaid coverage for implants varies by plan and clinical necessity, our team will work with your insurance to determine your benefits and explore all available options for tooth replacement.
Treatment of oral infections requires prompt attention to prevent serious complications. Our oral surgeons are experienced in draining abscesses, removing infected tissue, and prescribing appropriate antibiotics to resolve infections and restore your oral health.
Bone grafting procedures may be necessary to prepare your jaw for dental implants or to preserve bone structure after tooth extraction. We’ll discuss whether bone grafting is recommended for your situation and work with your Medicaid plan to understand coverage.
We understand oral surgery can feel intimidating. That’s why we offer various sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. IV sedation, also known as twilight sedation or sleep dentistry, allows you to remain relaxed and comfortable during more complex surgical procedures while our team works efficiently and effectively.
Many Medicaid plans cover medically necessary sedation for oral surgery procedures. Our experienced staff will verify your sedation benefits and explain your options during your consultation. We prioritize patient comfort and safety, using modern sedation techniques administered by trained professionals.
Local anesthesia is used for all oral surgery procedures to numb the treatment area and prevent pain during the procedure. For patients who experience dental anxiety or are undergoing extensive treatment, combining local anesthesia with IV sedation provides optimal comfort and allows our surgeons to complete necessary work in a single appointment.

We work with numerous Medicaid plans throughout Illinois, including traditional Medicaid programs, All Kids, County Care, Meridian, Illinicare, Molina, Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicaid, and other managed care organizations. Each plan has specific coverage guidelines for oral surgery procedures, and our knowledgeable administrative team stays current on these requirements.
Medicaid coverage for oral surgery typically requires the procedure is medically necessary rather than purely elective. Conditions causing pain, infection, difficulty eating, or other functional problems generally meet medical necessity criteria. Our oral surgeons will thoroughly document your condition and work with your insurance company to obtain necessary authorizations.
The pre-authorization process can seem complex, but we handle it for you. We’ll submit all required documentation, including X-rays, clinical photographs, and detailed treatment plans to your Medicaid plan for review. This proactive approach helps avoid delays and ensures you can receive treatment as quickly as possible.
Our commitment to accepting Medicaid for oral surgery procedures reflects our core belief that quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone. While many oral surgery practices turn away Medicaid patients or refer them elsewhere, we’ve built our practice around serving the entire community, regardless of insurance coverage.
Our oral surgeons have extensive experience performing a wide range of procedures, from routine extractions to complex surgical cases. This breadth of experience means you can receive comprehensive care at our practice without needing referrals to multiple providers.
Beyond Medicaid, we also accept most major PPO insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Delta Dental, MetLife, Guardian, and Humana. For patients without insurance, we offer our Open Dental Discount Membership program and flexible payment options through CareCredit and Sunbit.
With multiple locations throughout Chicago, accessing oral surgery services with your Medicaid coverage is more convenient than ever. Our offices are strategically located to serve diverse neighborhoods, ensuring families across the city can reach quality oral surgery care without traveling long distances.
Each Sonrisa Family Dental location is equipped with modern surgical equipment and technology, maintaining the same high standards of care across all offices. This consistency means you’ll receive excellent treatment regardless of which location you visit.
Many of our patients prefer communicating in Spanish, and we’ve ensured our team can serve you in your preferred language. Our bilingual staff members are available to discuss treatment options, explain procedures, answer questions about your Medicaid coverage, and provide post-operative care instructions in Spanish.
Your oral surgery journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination. During this appointment, we’ll evaluate your condition using clinical examination and digital X-rays, discuss recommended treatment options, and answer any questions you have about the procedure, recovery, or your Medicaid coverage.
If surgery is recommended, we’ll verify your Medicaid benefits and obtain necessary pre-authorizations before scheduling your procedure. This advance work ensures there are no surprises regarding coverage or costs. On the day of your surgery, our team will review the procedure, discuss sedation options if applicable, and ensure you’re comfortable before beginning treatment.
Post-operative care is crucial for proper healing. We’ll provide detailed instructions for caring for the surgical site, managing discomfort, and recognizing signs of complications. Our team is always available to address concerns during your recovery period.
