Dr. J. Darrell Steele

Dr. Steele has been an accomplished oral surgeon for decades now, and there's nothing he enjoys more than helping patients leave his oral surgery office feeling much better than when they first arrived. He does everything he can to alleviate discomfort quickly, explain treatment options thoroughly, and put a person's smile on the best path moving forward!

When he was a small child, Dr. Steele actually wanted to be a veterinarian. However, once he reached his college years, he had his wisdom teeth extracted by an oral surgeon, who invited him to watch some of his more difficult surgeries because of Dr. Steele's current position as a phlebotomist at the same hospital. After seeing the surgeon finally fix a patient's jaws and teeth so that they aligned perfectly and functioned properly, Dr. Steele was 100% sold on becoming an oral surgeon himself.

After graduating from UTA, Dr. Steele entered dental school at Baylor College of Dentistry. At that time, dental implants were just beginning to make their way into the field of dentistry, but he was already fascinated by them! Following the completion of his dental doctorate, he underwent his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency, where he focused on full-scope procedures like jaw surgery, cosmetic facial surgery, and procedures involving implants.
