Meet Dr. Aaron Altman

Board Certified Oral Surgeon in Rockford, IL

I joined Rockford Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2022 after completing my residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I am from Loves Park and chose to move back home so my wife and I could be close to our families who reside in Rockford.

I developed a strong interest in the field of dentistry at a young age. It provided the opportunity to work with your hands while simultaneously allowing you to change someone’s life through changing their smile. As I transitioned through dental school and a rigorous 4-year oral surgery residency, this could not have become more apparent. I fully understand that being an Oral Surgeon is much more than just taking out teeth. My number one priority is patient care. Whether it is you or your kids being treated, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible.

During my training, I was exposed to the full field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Over that time, I developed a special interest in wisdom teeth extractions, dental implants, comprehensive reconstruction and bone grafting, IV sedation, and benign pathology. I remain engaged in frequent continuing education courses which has allowed for the implementation of the newest technology in our office.

In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, exploring new restaurants in Chicago with my wife, and spending time with our two dogs.

My goal is to make your experience at Rockford Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as comfortable and convenient as possible. I am excited and honored to be a part of your journey.
