Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires a minimum of four additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Drs. Lurcott, Hale, Liddell, and Alleman manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. Drs. Lurcott, Hale, Liddell, and Alleman practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery. This also includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries, and fractures.
The surgical staff at Colorado Oral Surgery are experienced, certified oral and maxillofacial surgical assistants, who assist in the administration of IV sedation and surgery. Our front office staff are informed administrative personnel, well-versed in health and insurance policies, and are also CPR certified.
Dr. Gregg Lurcott graduated cum laude from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1994. In 1998, he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Michigan, consistently ranked as one of the top dental schools in the nation. While in dental school, Dr. Lurcott received the Horace Wells Award in Anesthesia. Horace Wells is credited as the father of surgical anesthesia.
Following dental school, Dr. Lurcott completed a one-year internship at the Medical College of Ohio. He then went on to perform a four-year residency in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery through St. John Health Care System and Childrens Hospital of Michigan. Thereafter, Dr. Lurcott entered private practice in the metropolitan Detroit area. During his years in practice, Dr. Lurcott was a member of Head and Neck Tumor Boards, treated children in two Cleft Lip and Palate Clinics and lectured regularly on dental implants. Dr. Lurcott also acted as an attending instructor through the St. John residency program, teaching the principles and art of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to residents in training. After six years of private practice in Michigan and having acquired extensive experience in the fields of sedation, general anesthesia, dentoalveolar and dental implant surgery, tumor management, jaw surgery, reconstructive facial surgery and trauma surgery, Dr. Lurcott decided to move to Colorado with his wife and three children to begin his own private practice in Denver.
Here in Denver, Dr. Lurcott continues to treat patients with congenital and traumatic craniofacial deformities at several local hospitals. As a member of the Facial Trauma Team at Swedish Hospital and the Medical Center of Aurora, Dr. Lurcott corrects the most complex craniofacial injuries and fractures.
To keep at the forefront of his specialty, Dr. Lurcott regularly attends national dental implant and facial reconstructive continuing education courses in order to provide the latest advances and innovations in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to his patients. Dr. Lurcott also maintains Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certifications.
Dr. Michael Hale is a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who completed his specialty training at the University of Minnesota. He graduated from the University of Utah in 2003 with degrees in Biology and Spanish. He then completed his dental training at the Ohio State University, graduating with Cum Laude honors and earning the AAOMS Dental Implant Student Award.
Dr. Hale is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. His primary clinical interests include administration of general anesthesia, dental implant surgery, advanced bone grafting surgery, removal of wisdom teeth, dentoalveolar surgery, jaw correction surgery, and pathology. He maintains certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support.
Dr. Hale enjoys hiking, camping and exploring the mountains with his wife and four children. He grew up playing and teaching multiple genres of guitar and continues to enjoy any opportunity to perform. He enjoys following a variety of sports, most passionately international soccer, and enjoys being a part of Bronco Nation.
As Dr. Hale understands that most of the patients who are undergoing oral surgery treatment are anxious and frightened, he will make an extra effort to provide individualized and compassionate treatment. Dr. Hale is dedicated to his patients as part of the dental team. He looks forward to working with you and your dentist to provide the optimal level of care for you.

I had an issue with the call managers, and Dr Luracott himself called to explain, which was so above and beyond. It truly was a communication issue, which is common Post-pandemic with new staff and labor shortages. Then his kind office manager, Julie called me to check in. I knew Dr Luracott is meticulous and knowledgeable in his work, but now I know he is exceptional in his patient care also. I intend to use CO Oral Surgery for any dental surgery in the future, and Dr Luracott will be my surgeon if available.

Great and very knowledgeable specialists/ surgeon. They were able to identify in minutes what 2 dentists were not able to find wrong with my daughter. He treated her and she was better the very next day! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs any kids of oral surgery or special oral needs.

Colorado Oral Surgery is a state-of-the-art facility with extremely capable staff. The doctor and the nurses put me at ease from the beginning about my tooth extraction. The extraction was done quickly and efficiently and without any pain. The gum was sore only on the day of the extraction. I followed the post operative instructions and the next day I had no swelling and no pain. It was the easiest tooth extraction that I've experienced. I highly recommend this facility and especially Dr. Hamilton and his staff.

I can't thank the entire team at Colorado Oral Surgery enough-- my 13 year old daughter was anxious, nervous, and had a great experience. They were comforting, understanding, the entire team eased her during an anxious time. The worst is behind her and we couldn't have trusted them more!

I had a consultation for my wisdom tooth. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and they take all the necessary steps for pregnant woman. They gave me tons of information on why I should wait till baby comes to have surgery and not torcher myself and have surgery with only Tylenol. They were super nice, quick and professional. I had to bring my children they were very nice to my kids. I highly recommend to all pregnant women if you need oral surgery. They care about you and baby
