About

Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon Jonathan Shelton, DMD, MD, practices at The Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Specialists of San Diego, Suite 110, 6386 Alvarado Ct, San Diego, CA 92120. The dual DMD-MD credential reflects completion of both dental and medical doctoral programs, and NPI 1346506201 has been active since April 2012. Shelton works alongside founding partner Paul Koshgerian, DMD, MD, in a practice established in 1995 that now includes a third surgeon, Zachary Mayer, DDS, MS. Pre-surgical medical clearance for patients with cardiovascular or endocrine conditions coordinates through Inspire Wellness: Habib Dalhoumi, MD in Grantville. The surgical scope covers wisdom tooth extraction, dental implant placement, bone grafting, impacted canine exposure, full-arch restoration, facial trauma repair, and IV sedation administration. Alvarado Court sits in the Grantville medical corridor off the I-8 freeway, adjacent to the Alvarado Hospital campus in the 92120 ZIP. The practice offers Stemodontics stem cell banking following wisdom tooth extraction, preserving mesenchymal stem cells from the dental pulp for potential future therapeutic applications. In-office anesthesia options range from local injection to IV sedation and general anesthesia, administered by the surgeons under continuous physiologic monitoring. Surgical complications requiring hospital-level intervention transfer to East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health in Grantville, less than a mile from the practice. Implant protocols use guided surgery with CBCT-derived surgical stents, positioning each fixture within sub-millimeter tolerance of the prosthetically driven treatment plan.
