Committed to Excellence

Excellence Training

This Wednesday, our office was closed for dedicated team training — a day focused on continued education and growth. Why? Because we believe that the best patient care starts with a team that never stops learning.

 Whether it’s refining clinical skills, enhancing communication, or staying current with the latest in oral surgery — we invest in our team so we can better serve you, our community, and the referring offices who trust us with their patients.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to provide the highest level of care possible.

Dr. Billy Laun - Oral Surgeon

I’m Dr. Billy Laun, and I’m proud to serve the Southern Illinois community. Growing up on a farm in Nebraska, I learned the importance of hard work and integrity, which I bring to every patient interaction.

After earning my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Nebraska’s College of Dentistry, I completed my residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Buffalo.

In 2019, I took over Dr. Gustave’s practice and founded Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Carbondale. I specialize in procedures like wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, bone grafting and cosmetic facial surgery, always prioritizing patient care and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements.

If you’re seeking personalized, top-tier care, I’d be honored to help you achieve your best health and smile.
