Working with Dr. Prashant Charugundla

Integrative Oral Surgery

Learn what 'integrative' means at Summit Oral Surgery.

Dr. Charugundla offers a science-backed, highly-skilled surgical practice. While he is not a holistic or biological dentist his approach is enriched by Eastern values that aim for healing beyond the core issue.

We view oral health as inseparable from overall health, recognizing its impact on the whole body. We do our part to bridge the gap between dental and medical care to address systemic implications.

We practice evidence-based care enhanced by Eastern values that prioritize the bigger picture. This approach opens new, patient-centered pathways to healing without compromising the highest standards of care.

We believe collaboration across specialties is vital to optimal outcomes. By partnering with a variety of healthcare professionals, including those in complementary and alternative medicine, we deliver truly comprehensive care.

Trust in healthcare is being eroded through systemic failings – restoring confidence is partly our responsibility. To this end, we consider social, emotional, and spiritual factors, aiming to support opportunities for other healing in our patient interactions.
