Dr. John E. Tillner Jr, DDS provides oral and maxillofacial surgery from Chula Vista's Medical Center corridor at 769 Medical Center Court, positioning the practice within steps of Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista. Pre-operative lab work for patients requiring IV sedation or general anesthesia is processed through Sharp Laboratory Services Chula Vista on the same Medical Center Drive campus, streamlining same-day surgical preparation. A graduate of the University of the Pacific's Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry who completed an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Dr. Tillner holds active surgical privileges at both Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Sharp Coronado Hospital. The surgical scope covers wisdom-tooth extraction, dental implant placement with bone grafting, corrective jaw surgery, cleft palate repair, facial trauma reconstruction, and biopsy of oral pathology. Post-surgical rehabilitation for patients recovering from orthognathic jaw repositioning or complex fracture repair is coordinated with Sports Performance Physical Therapy - Chula Vista for guided mandibular range-of-motion restoration. The facility's highest-tier procedures include Le Fort I and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies performed under general anesthesia with rigid internal fixation using titanium miniplates and monocortical screws.
