Oral Surgeon in Walnut Creek, CA
If you live in Walnut Creek and you’re dealing with tooth pain, gum problems, or you just need a dentist you can trust, you’re in the right place. Folks from Rossmoor, Tice Valley, and Walnut Heights walk into our office all the time saying the same thing: “I just want someone who actually listens and doesn’t rush me.” That’s pretty much how we built our whole practice. We slow down, explain things in simple words, and help you figure out what care you need without all the confusing stuff.
A lot of people search “oral surgeon near me” or “dentist in Walnut Creek” when a tooth starts hurting or they hear they need a more serious treatment. If that’s you, you don’t have to wait. Our team helps with everything from simple checkups to oral surgery, and we do it in a way that keeps you calm and informed the whole time.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth cause a ton of trouble around Walnut Creek because many folks don’t even know they’re growing sideways. You might feel pressure in the back of your jaw, swelling, or even ear pain. We walk patients through what’s happening with simple words, show you images, and talk about the best time to take the teeth out. Our oral surgeon handles both easy and tough cases, so even if the tooth is under the gum or tilted, we can help without sending you all over town.
- Dental Extractions
Sometimes a tooth can’t stay, and people worry the removal will be painful or scary. We talk you through the whole thing in a way that makes sense. If the tooth is loose and simple, we do a quick non-surgical extraction. If it’s broken or stuck, we do a surgical one. Folks from Larkey Park and Saranap usually say the same thing after: “that wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought.” We also explain your next steps after the tooth is out, so you heal fast and feel okay.
- Bone Grafting for Implants
If you want a dental implant but the bone is thin or soft, we can fix that with bone grafting. It’s common for people who lost a tooth a while ago or had gum disease. We add new bone material so the implant can hold strong. It sounds scary at first, but when we show you the simple version and explain how it works, most people relax. It’s a big deal for long-term results, and we guide you all the way so you dont feel lost.
- Bone Grafting
Some folks need bone grafting even when they’re not ready for an implant yet. Maybe the bone shrunk, maybe an infection damaged the area, or maybe you just want to keep the space strong. We explain what kind of graft is right for you and how it helps keep your jaw healthy. It helps prevent future problems and gives you more choices for care later on.
- Sinus Lift Surgery
People in Walnut Creek don’t always know that the upper back jaw sits close to the sinuses. If the bone in that area is thin, an implant can’t be placed until we lift the sinus and add bone. We break it down in easy words so you know exactly what’s happening and why it matters. Our oral surgeon does sinus lifts often, so the process stays safe, simple, and planned out step by step.
- Laser Gum Therapy
Laser gum therapy helps clean out bacteria and calm swollen gums without all the scraping people hate. The laser is gentle and works fast. Folks with bleeding gums or early gum disease usually feel way better after treatment. It’s a simple way to jump ahead of gum issues before they lead to bigger problems.
- Nitrous Oxide - Laughing gas
If going to the dentist makes you nervous, nitrous oxide can help you relax. You breathe it in through a small mask, feel calm, and stay awake the whole time. Kids and adults both do well with it. Once we turn it off, you feel normal again in just a few minutes, so you can still go back to work or drive home.
- Oral Sedation
For patients who want a deeper level of calm, oral sedation works great. You take a small pill before your visit, and by the time you’re in the chair you feel relaxed and unbothered. We go over the dose, what to expect, and how long it lasts. Many patients choose this for wisdom teeth removal, extractions, or longer visits.
