Dr. Robert J. Busch is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Associated Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, serving patients at two central Illinois locations in Peoria and Galesburg. He holds both a DMD and an MD, a dual-degree combination that requires completing both dental school and a full medical school curriculum. This advanced level of training prepares him to manage complex surgical cases that cross the boundary between dentistry and medicine, including facial fractures, jaw reconstruction, and surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Busch treats a broad spectrum of conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, and face. He places dental implants using ICAT 3D imaging to map bone structure before surgery begins, reducing guesswork and improving placement precision. For patients who need bone rebuilding before implants are possible, he applies Platelet Rich Plasma and L-PRF technology, using concentrated growth factors derived from the patient's own blood to support faster healing and stronger bone integration. Same-day surgery options are available for patients who need prompt care.
