A caring, skilled team forms the heart of every exceptional oral-surgery experience. If you are looking for oral surgeons in Gulfport, MS you’ll find a family-owned practice where expertise and empathy go hand in hand. Let’s get to know the professionals who make advanced care feel personal and reassuring.
Dr. Jared Akers, DMD — Leading with Precision & Warmth
With advanced training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, Dr. Jared Akers, DMD delivers patient care that blends technical mastery with genuine compassion. Whether placing dental implants or performing complex jaw surgery, he combines precision, innovation, and a down-to-earth bedside manner that helps patients feel at ease.
He continually advances his skills through the latest technologies — including 3D imaging, guided implant surgery, and virtual surgical planning — ensuring every patient benefits from improved safety, accuracy, and recovery outcomes.
Dr. Bennett York, DMD — Excellence in Implant & Oral Surgery
Dr. York excels in implant placement, bone grafting, sinus lifts and restoring missing teeth. His meticulous attention to detail ensures that implant posts are aligned for optimal stability, helping patients achieve natural, long-lasting results.
He takes the time to explain every step — what to expect, how long healing takes, and how to preserve hygiene — so patients feel informed and prepared at every stage.
Dr. Spencer Remley, DMD — Compassion with Competence
Dr. Remley is a specialist in TMJ disorders, wisdom-teeth removal, corrective jaw surgery and trauma treatment. He approaches each case with empathy, helping patients manage fears or chronic pain through a combination of restorative surgery and comfort-driven care.
He listens carefully to concerns about anesthesia or post-operative pain, offers sedation options when needed, and guides patients through detailed after-care — especially helpful for nervous or medically complex individuals.
Our Gulfport Team Culture — Rooted in Southern Hospitality

Behind-the-scenes support
A dedicated coordinator handles insurance, schedules, and communications so you can focus solely on healing — and not paperwork.
