In-House Oral Surgery for Whittier Families

Many Whittier patients come to us assuming surgery means a referral, a second consultation and a wait at another office. The first questions we hear are simple: can you take my tooth out, who will do it, and do you take my insurance.

At our office, the dental surgeon in Whittier who examines you is the one who operates, and our benefits coordinator checks your PPO plan before treatment. More than 4 in 10 Whittier residents speak a language other than English at home, so our English- and Spanish-speaking team makes sure you understand your plan before anything starts.

After you heal, we can stay your everyday dentist in Whittier for cleanings, fillings and checkups.

Oral Surgery Near You: What We Handle In-House

Each is planned and performed at our Greenleaf Avenue office. Your exam decides which, if any, fits.

Tooth Extraction

Before any tooth comes out, we check whether a crown or root canal could keep it. If not, the doctor who examined you removes it here.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

A wisdom tooth stuck under the gum or coming in at an angle is a common reason for surgery. One causing no trouble may only need watching.

Dental Implants

Placing an implant is surgery, planned with 3D imaging. Whether you are a candidate depends on your exam, X-rays and scans.

Sedation Dentistry

If implant placement makes you uneasy, sedation can help you relax. We go over the options at your free implant consultation.

Emergency Dentist

Sudden swelling or a broken tooth? Call us first. Emergency patients can typically be seen the same day.

Problems That Lead to Oral Surgery

Your exam and imaging decide whether surgery is needed. These are the situations where it most often is.

Wisdom Teeth Without Room to Come In

A wisdom tooth trapped by bone or gum can leave the area sore and hard to keep clean. We check its position first.

A Tooth Too Damaged to Rebuild

Deep decay or a long crack can leave a tooth a crown cannot support. We remove it and talk about filling the space.

Infection Around a Failing Tooth

An infected tooth that cannot be kept may need to come out so the area can heal. Swelling that spreads to the face or neck with trouble breathing or swallowing needs emergency medical care right away.

A Gap Where a Tooth Used to Be

Our doctors place the implant in the jaw and plan the crown that goes on top, so both steps stay in one office.

Several Failing Teeth in One Arch

When most teeth in one jaw cannot be saved, we may recommend full-arch implants, including same-day fixed dentures for patients who qualify.

3D Scans and Guided Planning Before Surgery

Before oral surgery in Whittier, our cone-beam CT, or CBCT, shows the tooth roots and jawbone in three dimensions. Digital scanners and intraoral cameras add detail, and we show you what they reveal.

For implant placement, CT-guided planning sets the implant’s position ahead of time, and our in-house implant fabrication keeps that part of your treatment under one roof.

Using Your PPO Plan for Oral Surgery

We accept all PPO dental plans. If you have had coverage for years and never used it, it may help with your surgery. Our team checks your benefits before your visit, tells you upfront what your plan will pay, and files the claim for you afterward.

For the rest, ask about low initial payments, monthly payment plans, CareCredit and Cherry.

Oral Surgery Questions From Whittier Patients

Will any part of my surgery happen at another office?

Our doctors handle oral surgery in-house when possible, with no referral to an outside specialist. Your exam, imaging and follow-up take place at our office at 6716 Greenleaf Avenue in Whittier, and implant work is planned and fabricated in-house too.

How quickly can I get a surgical appointment in Whittier?

New patients can typically be seen within one week. If you are in pain or have swelling, call us, because emergency patients can typically be seen the same day. We are open Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 6 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM.

Can I go over my surgery plan in Spanish?

Yes. Our team members speak English and Spanish, so you can ask questions about your procedure and your aftercare in the language you are most comfortable with.

Is there parking at your Whittier office for a surgery visit?

Yes. Our Greenleaf Avenue office has easy parking, which helps if someone is driving you.

How much does oral surgery cost at your Whittier office?

It depends on what your exam and imaging show, which procedure you need, and what your PPO plan covers. We tell you upfront what your plan will pay, and any remaining balance can go on a monthly plan through CareCredit or Cherry.
