About This Provider

Dr. J. Will Pledger, DMD, is an Associate Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Associated Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, with offices in Peoria and Galesburg, Illinois. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete years of hospital-based surgical training after dental school, a level of preparation that equips Dr. Pledger to handle the full spectrum of surgical care, from routine wisdom tooth removal to complex full-arch implant restoration, corrective jaw surgery, and facial trauma repair. For dental implant planning, he uses ICAT 3D imaging to map bone structure in three dimensions before any procedure begins, allowing for precise placement even in patients who have experienced significant bone loss. When patients need bone grafting before implants, Dr. Pledger applies Platelet Rich Plasma and L-PRF, regenerative concentrates processed from the patient's own blood, to support bone growth and accelerate healing. His surgical scope extends to TMJ disorders, sleep apnea surgery, corrective jaw procedures, and oral pathology, making him a comprehensive resource for patients across central Illinois who face oral health decisions that go well beyond routine dental care.
