Dr. Urbanek was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He obtained an undergraduate degree (BS), dental school training (DDS), and a four-year residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery (MS) from The Ohio State University located in Columbus, Ohio. During the freshmen year of his undergraduate degree, he received the freshman scholar award, and in dental school won the senior award for outstanding achievement in anesthesiology. Dr. Urbanek trained under Dr. Larry Peterson during his surgery residency, who was one of the great leaders in the specialty at the time.

During a career in the Air Force, Dr. Urbanek was Chief of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the United States Air Force Academy and Sheppard Air Force Base. He placed the first titanium dental implant at the Air Force Academy in 1994. While still in the Air Force, in 1999 he began moonlighting in Wichita Falls. His services and skills grew immensely. In 2005, he opened his own private practice with emphasis on dental implants.

In the last 25+ years, Dr. Urbanek has placed over 6,000 dental implants. Oral Surgery has improved dramatically over this time. Today’s implant procedures are much more successful, more predictable, require fewer surgical steps, and are less traumatic.
