Oral Surgery: What It Is and What Our Oral Surgeons Do

Advanced surgical care for extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, bone grafting, and IV sedation — provided by our oral surgery team. Medi-Cal accepted.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons patients in San Bernardino and the Inland Empire require oral surgery. Whether impacted, partially erupted, infected, or severely decayed, our surgical team provides safe and efficient extractions. With Medi-Cal accepted, wisdom tooth removal is accessible and affordable for eligible patients.

Dental Implants & Bone Grafting

Missing teeth or bone loss can affect both function and confidence. Our board-certified oral surgeon specializes in implant placement, bone grafting, and ridge preservation to support stable, long-term outcomes. Patients across the Inland Empire rely on our team for advanced implant-related surgical care, with Medi-Cal coverage available when applicable.

Oral Infections & Surgical Extractions

Advanced dental infections that cannot be resolved with routine treatment may require surgical extraction. Our oral surgeons treat infected and non-restorable teeth to prevent the spread of infection and protect surrounding bone and tissue. Medi-Cal is accepted for medically necessary surgical extractions.

IV Sedation & Patient Comfort

For patients with anxiety or complex surgical needs, IV sedation is available when medically required. This option, often covered by Medi-Cal, allows patients to undergo oral surgery comfortably and stress-free. Our surgical team prioritizes safety and support before, during, and after treatment.

Our Oral Surgery Services

Comprehensive oral surgery procedures performed by an experienced surgical team, with Medi-Cal accepted for medically necessary care.

Tooth Extractions

Simple and complex tooth extractions are performed when a tooth cannot be saved due to severe decay, infection, or fracture. Surgical removal helps prevent the spread of infection and protects surrounding teeth and bone. Medi-Cal is accepted for medically necessary extractions.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and crowding. Our surgical team performs routine and complex wisdom teeth extractions using careful planning and modern techniques to support safe healing and recovery.

Dental Implants & Related Surgery

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a stable, long-term solution. Our team performs implant placement and related surgical procedures, including ridge preservation and bone preparation, to support predictable outcomes.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting restores lost bone caused by tooth loss, infection, or trauma. This procedure strengthens the jaw and creates a stable foundation for future implants or restorations.

Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation)

When there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw, a sinus lift may be required before implant placement. Our surgeons perform sinus augmentation to create proper support for dental implants.

Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

Procedures such as alveoplasty and bone reshaping prepare the mouth for dentures or other prosthetics. Pre-prosthetic surgery improves comfort, fit, and long-term function.

Orthodontic Surgical Support

We provide surgical procedures that support orthodontic treatment, including expose-and-bond and tooth repositioning when required. These procedures help guide impacted teeth into proper alignment.

Frenectomy

A frenectomy releases tight or restrictive tissue under the tongue or lip that may affect speech, orthodontic alignment, or oral function. The procedure is quick, safe, and effective for patients of different ages.

Coronectomy

In cases where wisdom teeth are positioned close to nerves, a coronectomy may be recommended. This procedure removes only the crown of the tooth, reducing the risk of nerve injury while resolving pain or infection.

IV Sedation (When Medically Needed)

IV sedation is available for complex procedures or patients with significant anxiety when medically required. Covered by Medi-Cal in qualifying cases, sedation allows for a calm and comfortable surgical experience.

Benefits of Oral Surgery

Oral surgery can restore comfort, function, and long-term oral health when routine dental treatment is not enough.

Relief From Pain and Infection

Impacted wisdom teeth, severe decay, or advanced infection can cause constant discomfort. Oral surgery removes the source of pain and helps prevent infection from spreading to surrounding teeth, bone, or tissue.

Improved Oral Function

Oral surgery can restore proper chewing, speaking, and overall comfort. Procedures such as extractions, implants, and bone grafting help patients return to normal daily activities without limitation.

Prevention of Future Complications

Untreated dental problems may lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, or more complex health issues. Surgical treatment addresses the problem early and helps prevent long-term complications.

Support for Long-Term Restorations

Many restorative treatments, including dental implants and dentures, require a healthy foundation. Oral surgery prepares the jaw and soft tissue to support stable, long-lasting results.

Improved Confidence and Quality of Life

Restoring oral health often improves appearance and self-confidence. Patients frequently report feeling more comfortable smiling, eating, and interacting socially after treatment.

Comfortable Treatment Options

Sedation options are available when medically appropriate, allowing patients to undergo oral surgery in a calm and controlled environment with minimal stress.

What to Expect During Oral Surgery

From consultation to recovery, our oral surgery team provides a clear, step-by-step process focused on safety, comfort, and predictable outcomes.

Your visit begins with a comprehensive exam. We review your dental condition, medical history, and any existing imaging. If needed, additional diagnostics may be recommended to properly plan treatment.

2. Treatment Planning

4. The Surgical Procedure

On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed using modern techniques and strict safety protocols. Local anesthesia or sedation may be used as needed to ensure comfort throughout treatment.

5. Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, you’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions to support healing and minimize discomfort. Our team remains available for follow-up care and any questions during recovery.

Does Vernon Dental Specialty accept Medi-Cal for oral surgery?

Is oral surgery painful? What sedation options are available?

Patient comfort is a priority. Depending on the procedure and medical necessity, we use local anesthesia, IV sedation, or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to reduce anxiety and discomfort. Most patients report minimal pain during and after treatment.

How should I prepare for oral surgery?

Preparation depends on the procedure and sedation method. Patients receiving IV sedation may be asked to avoid eating or drinking beforehand. Our team provides clear pre-operative instructions and answers all questions before surgery.

What is recovery like after oral surgery?

Recovery time varies by procedure. Wisdom teeth removal typically requires a few days, while implant surgery may involve a longer healing period. Patients receive detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to support safe recovery.
