Oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Lee Pham, DDS, MD, practices in Carlsbad's La Costa district at La Costa Dentistry and Orthodontics on Via Campanile. His oral surgery residency at UCLA Medical Center and dual DDS-MD training encompass the full scope of maxillofacial procedures, and he holds a California General Anesthesia permit allowing in-office administration of deep sedation for complex surgical cases, a level of anesthesia management that sometimes requires post-operative myofascial recovery through providers such as Carlsbad Chiropractic and Integrative Wellness. Surgical services at the Carlsbad location include impacted wisdom-tooth extraction, dental implant placement, bone grafting, and biopsy of oral soft-tissue lesions. The dual-degree background means surgical training encompassed not only dentoalveolar procedures but also hospital-based management of facial trauma, orthognathic correction, and pathology excision under general anesthesia. Facial-trauma patients requiring post-surgical vision assessment coordinate with providers such as Carlsbad Optometry to evaluate orbital involvement before or after fixation. The highest-complexity procedures involve full bony impaction removal of mandibular third molars positioned adjacent to the inferior alveolar nerve canal, requiring cone-beam CT nerve-mapping and coronectomy consideration to minimize paresthesia risk.
