Oral Surgery Associates of North Texas (OSANT), a private oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice with multiple locations in North Texas, has opened two additional locations – one in McKinney and one in Prosper. They are located at 2164 N. Lake Forest Drive, Ste. 712, in McKinney; and 540 W. Frontier Parkway, Suite 100, in Prosper.

“Our practice has been treating patients in North Texas since 1984, and since that time, we’ve seen a lot of growth both in terms of our practice and in terms of the communities that we serve. McKinney and Prosper are growing, vibrant communities and we’re honored to be a part of that growth,” said Douglas J. Dingwerth, DMD, MD; senior managing partner of OSANT. “Adding locations here will enable us to better meet the needs of our patients and referrals.”

The McKinney and Prosper offices are open for business, with the doctors treating new and existing patients at both locations. William R. Walstad, DDS, leads the McKinney care team, and Phillip Newton, DDS, MD leads the Prosper care team. Both are board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, the highest credential that can be obtained in the specialty, according to the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Dr. Walstad has been treating patients at OSANT since 1999, specializing in a wide variety of OMS services. Dr. Walstad grew up in Richardson and earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas. He earned his DDS from Baylor College of Dentistry (now Texas A&M College of Dentistry) and completed his OMS residency through Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.

Actively involved with a number of professional organizations, Dr. Walstad is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Dallas County Dental Association. In addition, he is a past president of the North Texas Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Dr. Newton grew up in west Texas and earned his bachelor’s degree from Tulane University, his DDS from Baylor College of Dentistry and his MD from Texas Tech Health Science Center. He completed his internship in general surgery and his OMS residency at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, and joined OSANT in 2016, immediately following his graduation.

During his residency, Dr. Newton gave back to the community by participating as a co-founder and dental care provider at Lubbock Impact Free Dental Clinic, providing free dental care to those in need. Currently, Dr. Newton is a clinical assistant professor at Texas A&M College of Dentistry. Dr. Newton is a member of the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Dallas County Dental Association.
