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.

1. Consultation and Evaluation

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

Based on your evaluation, our surgical team explains the recommended procedure, timeline, and expected outcomes. Insurance and Medi-Cal eligibility are reviewed so you know what to expect before treatment begins.

3. Preparing for Surgery

Before the procedure, you’ll receive clear instructions regarding eating, medications, and sedation options if medically appropriate. Our team ensures you feel informed and prepared.

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.

Comprehensive Periodontal Treatments with Medi-Cal Accepted

Gingivectomy

This procedure removes diseased gum tissue to reduce pocket depth and stop infection. It improves access for daily home care and supports healthier gum reattachment. Patients benefit from easier cleaning and stronger protection against future tooth loss.

Gingivoplasty

Reshaping the gumline creates a smooth, hygienic contour that is easier to clean. It enhances both gum health and smile aesthetics. The procedure supports long-term stability and reduces the risk of recurring gum problems.

Frenectomy

A tight lip or tongue frenum can cause gum recession, spacing issues, and speech difficulties. Frenectomy releases this tension to improve comfort, support orthodontic or restorative care, and prevent further damage.

Osseous Surgery

Cleaning and reshaping irregular bone eliminates plaque traps and reduces pocketing. This helps gums reattach more securely and creates a healthier environment for long-term oral stability.

Hard-Tissue (Bone) Grafts

Bone loss from disease or trauma can weaken teeth and limit implant options. Bone grafting rebuilds support, stabilizes the bite, and creates a strong foundation for future implants.

Soft-Tissue (Gum) Grafts

Using grafted tissue strengthens thin gums or covers exposed roots. This protects against sensitivity, recession, and future tooth loss. Gum grafting also improves smile appearance and provides durable protection.

Guided Bone & Tissue Regeneration

Special membranes and biomaterials guide new bone and tissue growth where support was lost. This advanced technique restores the foundation needed for long-term tooth retention and successful implants.

Crown Lengthening

This procedure exposes more natural tooth structure, ensuring proper crown fit and easier cleaning. It can also balance a “gummy smile” for improved appearance.

Gingival Flap Procedures

By gently lifting the gums, deep tartar and infected tissue can be cleaned thoroughly. After treatment, the gums are repositioned for a tighter, healthier seal around the teeth.

Sinus Lift

When bone height in the upper jaw is insufficient for implants, a sinus lift gently elevates the sinus floor and adds bone graft material. This creates secure support for future dental implants.

Ridge Augmentation

Bone loss after extractions can leave ridges too thin for implants. Ridge augmentation rebuilds width and height, restoring natural contours and creating a stable base for implant placement.

Implant Placement & Periodontal Management

Implants are placed with attention to bone density and gum health, ensuring long-term stability. Periodontal maintenance around implants prevents complications and supports aesthetics.

Occlusal Guards

Custom occlusal guards protect teeth, grafts, and restorations from clenching or grinding. They help preserve surgical results and reduce the risk of fractures or gum irritation.
