About

Encinitas Oral Surgery in Encinitas is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgery practice on Santa Fe Drive, directed by a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery who holds both DMD and MD degrees along with a Master of Public Health. The practice's surgical scope covers simple and complex impacted-tooth extractions, bone grafting, sinus-lift augmentation, and endosseous implant placement, with pre-operative allergy and anesthesia screening coordinated through Allergy & Asthma Medical Group for drug-sensitivity assessment. Fellowship in the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and active membership in the American Medical Association, Academy of Osseointegration, and American Dental Association reflect dual medical-dental training credentials. The facility was among the first in San Diego County to install full digital radiography systems, eliminating chemical film processing and reducing radiation exposure during pre-surgical diagnostic imaging. Scripps Health affiliation supports hospital-based surgical privileges for cases requiring general anesthesia beyond the office's in-house IV-sedation capability, while regenerative grafting protocols coordinate with orthobiologic treatment at BIOEVOLVE San Diego Orthobiologics and Sports Center for platelet-rich plasma integration. Complex maxillofacial cases include alveolar ridge augmentation with particulate bone graft and resorbable collagen membrane, guided-surgery zygomatic implant placement for severely atrophic maxillae, and impacted third-molar odontectomy requiring surgical flap elevation and ostectomy.
