About This Provider

Dr. Craig Thatcher is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon practicing at River Valley Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Moline, Illinois. He holds certification from the American Board of Maxillofacial Surgery, a credential that requires years of hospital-based surgical training beyond dental school and confirms mastery of the full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial care. Dr. Thatcher treats cases ranging from routine tooth extractions to complex jaw surgery, dental implant placement, bone grafting, impacted canine exposure, and oral pathology diagnosis. He offers patients multiple anesthesia options, including procedures performed fully awake or under sedation, so care can be tailored to each patient's health status and comfort level. River Valley Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery uses 3D imaging for surgical planning, giving Dr. Thatcher a detailed three-dimensional view of anatomy before any procedure begins. For patients with urgent needs, same-day emergency extractions are available on weekdays. Early morning follow-up appointments starting at 7:30 am make post-operative care accessible for working patients and families throughout the Quad Cities area.
