Southwest Oral Surgical Arts describes itself as Southern Utah's only periodontal and oral surgery specialty practice — a merger of two regional practices, Southwest Oral Facial & Implant Surgery and Zion Oral Surgical Arts, that brought five board-certified surgeons under one organizational structure. The combined practice covers both oral and maxillofacial surgery and periodontics from three locations: two in St. George (368 E Riverside Dr, Suite 7 and 1308 E 900 S, Suite A) and one in Cedar City (415 N Main St, Suite 204).
The surgical team — Mitchell M. Gubler, DDS, MS; Jamison P. Metcalf, DDS; John H. Mizukawa, DDS; Matthew K. Mizukawa, DMD; and Erik J. Nielsen, DDS, MD — holds accreditations from the American Dental Association, the American College of Surgeons, and the Utah Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. The practice is credentialed at St. George Regional Hospital for ER oral surgery call coverage and facial trauma care — a clinical commitment that extends well beyond elective specialty dentistry.
Services include wisdom tooth extraction, dental implant placement, bone grafting, orthognathic surgery, TMJ management, and facial trauma reconstruction. The three-location, two-county footprint makes SWOSA the largest independent oral surgery and periodontics group in Southern Utah.
