State-of-the-Art Care in Complete Comfort

We’ve designed every aspect of our oral surgical office to help you feel at home. Our supportive team will welcome you to our modern, cozy office, where you can relax while you get the attention you need from a skilled oral surgeon.

We’ve equipped our oral surgical office with state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical technology to ensure every procedure is as precise, efficient, and minimally invasive as possible. You’ll rest comfortably through your treatment with the right anesthesia option for your needs. We offer nitrous oxide, oral, IV, and general sedation to guarantee fearless and pain-free surgery.

As an oral surgeon, Dr. Carey has the expertise to provide advanced surgical interventions. He also has privileges at Kearney Regional Medical Center and Grand Island Medical Center to care for medically complex patients. You’ll have his total support through every phase of your treatment and 24/7 access to him throughout your recovery if you have concerns about your treatment or need emergency care.

Caring for Our Community

Veterans Smile Makeover

In addition to being an oral surgeon, Dr. Carey is a proud US Army veteran. To support his fellow veterans, our practice offers free, comprehensive surgical care to one qualified veteran every year through our online portal. Residents in Kearney, NE, and the surrounding areas can nominate a veteran for a Smile Makeover, which includes all procedures from diagnostics through surgery and prosthesis, free of charge.

Carefree Dental Clinic

Some oral surgery is essential for basic functions like eating and speaking. Patients who can’t afford an oral surgeon’s care but don’t have coverage and don’t qualify for assistance can come to us to get the care they need.

Community Giving Events

We host events like a Thanksgiving food drive and back-to-school backpack drive where our patients can donate food and essentials to the community in return for a free consultation and panoramic image. Start your path to restored oral health with community giving!

Food Drive for Thanksgiving

Experience compassionate care while making a positive impact on the community! When you bring in nonperishable food items to our oral surgical office, you receive a complimentary consultation and panoramic X-ray. Your generosity helps you access expert dental insights and contributes to our efforts in supporting those in need.

Backpack Drive

We’re excited to support both education and oral health in our community! When you bring a backpack filled with school supplies, we offer a complimentary consultation and panoramic X-ray. It’s our way of starting kiddos off on the right foot for the school year while ensuring you receive the best dental care possible.

We’re Here for You and Your Dental Needs.
