Dr. Chris Ward has been practicing dentistry in Oklahoma for over 20 years. Born and raised in Oklahoma, he played small college baseball while studying biology with a pre-med emphasis at Oklahoma Christian University. He continued his degree work at the University of Oklahoma, where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2000. His passion for changing the lives of his patients drives his efforts to excel in implant dentistry. He has received the highest credentials from the American Board of Oral Implantologists, becoming accredited as a Board Certified dental implantologist. He averages over 150 hours per year in continuing education as it relates to implant dentistry (many years over 250 hours).
Dr. Wards dental team has been with him cumulatively for 29 years. They are an integral part of his success, and their support is a big part of who he is today. In 2020, Dr. Ward opened Dental Implant Center of Oklahoma, where the exclusive focus is implant-related procedures and All-on-4 dental implant solutions. Dr. Ward will also be opening Dental Institute of Oklahoma, offering education and hands-on training for dentists around the country to learn implant dentistry from one of Oklahomas best along with some visiting faculty.
Dr. Ward has been married to his wife, Melissa, for 29 years, and they have five children. They are involved in church and their kids athletics and activities. He really enjoys primitive archery hunting, fishing, playing on the lake in the summer, hiking, and any outdoor sports or activities.
Deanna has been married to her husband since 1986, and they have three grandchildren, Owen, Abby and Elliott. She is the third of six children. Her family is very close and has many family events through the year. In her spare time, she enjoys singing, reading, walking with her daughter, and spending time with her husband and grandchildren. Deanna and her husband are very involved with their local church, the Bible Church of Owasso.
I graduated from OU College of Dentistry in 2008 and have worked for Dr. Ward as a registered dental hygienist since 2009. My husband, Wes, and I have two children. My son, Grant, plays baseball, football and basketball, and my daughter, Hannah, loves gymnastics. When we are not busy taking the kids to their activities, we love to be outside.
Bee earned her Bachelor of Science in business management at Baker University. She loves being a part of an amazing team and the endless opportunities to make positive impacts on the lives of others through the change and power that come with beautiful smiles.
When she is not at work, you can find Bee pretending to know what she is doing at the local CrossFit gym! She also enjoys attending her childrens extracurricular activities from sports to stage performances. Bee and her family love the arts and staying active!

My time with Dr. Ward and his associates is always excellent. I am always informed as to what is being done. My pain level is always checked. All those I come into contact with are very kind and personable. Pair that with a job very well done. And, you come away with a great experience, and a great looking smile. I highly recommend Dr.Ward and The Dental Implant Center.

At Dental Implant Center of Oklahoma Dr. ward and his staff made me feel very comfortable and put my mind at ease. They were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns. I had already gone to several other places before going to see Dr. Ward and I can tell you I did not feel comfortable in moving forward with Implants until until seeing Dr. Ward and his team. They walked me through and showed me how they was going to help me and my issue specifically. They have several different options and explained the differences in each one. They also work with you to help you find the best solution that will work with your financial situation. I look forward to seeing them again in the near future. Thank you!

Straightforward, upfront. Today was my initial consultation with Dr. Ward and I must say after a few minutes talking with him I knew that this was the man to do my implants, this will be a complete mouth restoration of all on 4....
