About This Provider
Dr. James Lago earned both a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and a Doctor of Medicine (MD), a dual-degree credential that represents the highest level of training available in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This medical-dental background allows him to manage complex surgical cases, including full arch implant restorations, reconstructive bone grafting, facial trauma repair, and oral pathology, with the clinical depth of a physician and the precision of a surgical dentist. Dr. Lago practices at Precision Oral Surgery and Implants, serving patients across four Chicago-area locations in Park Ridge, Skokie, Buffalo Grove, and Highland Park, making subspecialty surgical care accessible throughout Chicago's northwest and north suburbs. Precision Oral Surgery and Implants uses 3D imaging to plan every procedure with accuracy not available from standard X-rays alone. The practice holds a 4.9-star rating from 278 patient reviews, with patients consistently noting exceptional clinical skill, thorough explanations, and comfortable procedures. Dr. Lago's scope extends well beyond extractions: he treats TMJ disorders, impacted canines, bone deficiencies, distraction osteogenesis cases, and patients requiring complex prosthetic preparation.
