Dr. Edmund Watkins, DDS

At Omega, Dr. Watkins focuses on the surgical side of dentistry. That includes tooth extractions, from straightforward removals to impacted wisdom teeth, along with dental implant placement and the treatment of conditions affecting the mouth and jaws. Surgery is the part of dental care most patients would rather not think about, and that is exactly why clear communication matters so much here: understanding what will happen before, during, and after a procedure is a standard part of surgical care at Omega.

Working within a multi-specialty practice also changes how surgical treatment unfolds. Dr. Watkins shares an office with a second oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Jonathan Rosenstein, plus endodontists, a periodontist, an orthodontist, and general and cosmetic dentists, so an extraction can flow directly into planning for an implant or a restoration without a referral to another practice. Your records, your imaging, and the doctors involved in your care all stay under one roof, which keeps treatment moving forward and keeps everyone working from the same plan. From the first consultation to the follow-up visit, the surgical chapter of your care stays connected to everything that comes before and after it.

Patients rate Omega 4.6 stars across more than 1,200 Google reviews. Read what patients say on our reviews page — and if a tooth is already scheduled to come out somewhere else, a second opinion here is straightforward: the exam tells you whether the plan you have is the right one.

The surgical side of dental implants in Houston — the extraction, the graft and the implant placement — happens in this same office, so an extraction with an implant plan behind it stays one conversation instead of a referral chain.

Does Omega have more than one oral surgeon?

Yes — two. Dr. Watkins and Dr. Jonathan Rosenstein both practice oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Midtown Houston office, which keeps surgical scheduling flexible: urgent extractions can often be seen the same week, and complex cases get two surgical perspectives under one roof.

Can I book an extraction directly with Dr. Watkins?

Yes — no referral is needed. Simple extractions are $290 per tooth and wisdom tooth removal is $450 per tooth, quoted in writing after an exam and X-rays. Call (713) 322-7474 or book online; see oral surgery in Houston for what to expect.
