Specialist-Level Surgical Care — 55 Minutes from Antigo.
Antigo residents no longer have to drive to Madison or Milwaukee for expert oral surgery. Bublik Dental in Wausau offers full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery with two board-credentialed surgeons, in-office IV sedation, and 3D imaging — right here in Langlade County.
Oral surgery covers the procedures that go beyond everyday dentistry — removing impacted wisdom teeth, placing dental implants, rebuilding bone, correcting jaw problems, and diagnosing lesions of the mouth and face. At Bublik Dental, oral surgery is our daily practice, not a side service.
Surgical Care From Extractions to Full Reconstruction
Wisdom Teeth & Extractions
From straightforward removals to deeply impacted wisdom teeth, we handle extractions with surgical precision and thoughtful sedation options. Most Antigo patients are surprised by how smooth recovery actually is.
Dental Implant Placement
Implants are permanent — so the surgery behind them has to be planned with precision. We use 3D imaging and guided techniques to place implants exactly where your bone and bite need them.
Bone Grafting & Ridge Preservation
When bone has been lost to extraction, trauma, or time, we rebuild it so future implants have a stable foundation. Preserving the ridge at extraction often saves patients years of complication.
IV Sedation & Surgical Safety
Our office is equipped for in-office IV sedation with full monitoring, so you can sleep through your procedure. Safety protocols are hospital-grade — because surgery deserves nothing less.
Board-Certified OMS. Surgical Implantology. Antigo-Area Patients Welcome.
Dr. Shepard is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) — triple-trained in bioengineering (Rice University), dentistry (UT Health Houston), and medicine (University of Alabama at Birmingham), where he served as Chief Resident of OMS. His surgical scope spans implants, corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma, and pathology.
Dr. Bublik trained at Palacky University Olomouc, completing his OMS residency at University Hospital Olomouc before an Advanced General Dentistry residency at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health, University of Rochester. Together they cover the full spectrum — from a single wisdom tooth to full-arch reconstruction. Antigo patients don't need to drive to Madison for care at this level.
