About

As a past president of the Academy of Osseointegration, Wheeler Stephen L DDS in Encinitas brings board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgery credentials to a Santa Fe Drive practice that has placed dental implants since the mid-1980s. The full-scope surgical practice covers wisdom-tooth extraction, corrective jaw surgery, and bone grafting, with post-operative musculoskeletal rehabilitation coordinated through providers such as OasisMD Lifestyle Healthcare for TMJ and cervical-spine recovery. As one of the earliest practitioners in the United States to place titanium endosseous implants, the practice pioneered implant protocols that are now standard across oral surgery. The regenerative-medicine caseload overlaps with the platelet-rich-plasma and orthobiologic frameworks used by BIOEVOLVE San Diego Orthobiologics and Sports Center for musculoskeletal tissue repair. Highest-tier procedures include zygomatic implant placement for severely atrophic maxillae and computer-guided full-arch immediate-load implant surgery with intraoperative CBCT verification.
