Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Carbondale is dedicated to providing continuing education and professional growth opportunities for our Southern Illinois Dental community. Last Thursday evening, over 40 dental professionals met to discuss how today’s technology and utilizing available restorative options can help to overcome challenges in Dental Implant Restoration. A big thank you to our wonderful speaker, prosthodontist Dr. Mark Montana, who traveled all the way from Arizona, our co-sponsor Dentsply Sirona Academy, and our Dentsply Rep, Beau Mullinax.

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.
