Dr. Jim Spurgeon

Dr. Jim Spurgeon is an Oklahoma native, a University of Oklahoma graduate and has been practicing in Norman for over thirty years. He is one of only 7% of general dentists who has earned the distinction of a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). He is also a talented “Mr. Fix it”, who spends his free time remodeling his house on Lake Eufaula. Whether it’s building cabinets, furniture, or fabricating a custom faucet from an old cast iron pitcher, he finds joy in creating beauty…both personally and as a dentist! Dr. Spurgeon has advanced training in implants, full mouth reconstruction, dental surgery and Invisalign. This training makes him uniquely qualified to treat a wide array of dental needs, utilizing multiples approaches and techniques to restore patient smiles and confidence. Dr. Spurgeon and his team have created beautiful smiles for hundreds of people, including local Heisman trophy winner Jason White and Mrs. Oklahoma 2008, Allison Greco. He has also been involved with casting calls for hit TV shows, such as “America’s Next Top Model” and ABC’s “Extreme Makeover.” Aside from his “celebrity status” (haha), Dr. Spurgeon is an avid community volunteer and gives his time to the dental D-dent program and Mission of Mercy. He is also an active member of Lindsey Chapel Baptist Church. A great dentist AND a great guy? Yes please! A man of many interests, his hobbies include photography, woodworking, racquetball, snow skiing (moguls are his favorite!), water skiing and scuba diving. Dr. Spurgeon often plans vacations around the landscape photographs that he wants to capture and he loves watching the Mecum Auto Auction—his dream car is a 1965 Shelby Cobra. Vroom vroom.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I have over 30 years of experience in dentistry. Also, I have taken countless hours of continuing education to keep me up to date on the latest techniques. This experience and knowledge help me provide the best care possible for my patients

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

It is fairly common for a new patient to come in ashamed of their smile. My favorite treatment is to create a new smile for them. Not only does it improve their appearance, it usually makes an even bigger difference in their confidence and personality!  I also like placing and restoring implants to give a patient the ability to chew and function normally.
