The official oral surgeon for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Dr. James Green treats patients facing extreme dental challenges.

Since 2014, he has cared for the back-to-back Stanley Cup champions, getting players back in the game as quickly as possible.

“Helping patients with a wide variety of problems, whether it is fixing a facial fracture, treating a tumor, doing reconstruction with a bone graft and implants, or just extracting a tooth, is very rewarding,” he says.

Dr. Green is board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and prioritizes continuing education to offer patients the latest technologies and treatment options. He uses the newest state-of-the-art equipment to give patients the best result.

Dr. Green also works with the Dental Lifeline Network Florida, donating dental services to people who could not otherwise afford it.

“I enjoy being able to give back to the community with this and helping people in need,” he says.

Dr. Green has been involved in multiple research projects and has presented at scientific meetings. His research entails oral pathology, reconstruction, and facial trauma. Additionally, Dr. Green is a contributing textbook author.

He holds leadership positions in the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Florida Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, and West Coast Dental Association.

Dr. Green is supported by his wife, Lauren, and two children. He enjoys watching Florida Gator football games, running and spending time with family.
