Frequently Asked Questions From Palms Patients

How far is Wilshire Oral Surgery from Palms?

Our office is located at 12300 Wilshire Blvd #326, Los Angeles, CA 90025. From Palms, heading north on Overland Avenue or Motor Avenue to Wilshire Boulevard typically puts you at our practice in around ten to fifteen minutes, depending on traffic. No freeway is required for most of the drive.

Do you offer sedation for oral surgery procedures?

Yes. Our surgeons are trained and licensed to administer IV sedation and general anesthesia in-office. We offer sedation for wisdom tooth removal, dental implant placement, bone grafting, and other procedures where patients prefer a more comfortable experience or where the complexity of the case warrants it.

What is the difference between an oral surgeon and a general dentist?

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency training after dental school, giving them advanced skills in anesthesia, complex extractions, implant surgery, jaw surgery, and facial trauma. General dentists may perform basic extractions and simple implant placements, but cases with significant complexity, bone loss, or sedation requirements are typically referred to a specialist like our surgeons.

Do I need a referral from my dentist to schedule an appointment?

No referral is required to schedule a consultation at Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center. Many patients contact us directly after identifying a concern or receiving an initial recommendation from their dentist. If your dentist has provided X-rays or records, we encourage you to bring them to your first appointment.

How long is recovery after wisdom tooth removal?

Recovery after wisdom tooth extraction typically involves two to four days of rest, with most patients returning to normal activity within a week. Swelling and mild discomfort are common in the first 48 to 72 hours. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and are available to answer any questions that arise during your recovery.

Does insurance cover oral surgery?

Many dental and medical insurance plans provide at least partial coverage for oral surgery procedures, particularly when they are medically necessary. Wisdom tooth removal, biopsies, bone grafts related to trauma, and certain implant cases may be covered. We review your specific plan before your appointment and provide a clear explanation of what is covered. Visit our insurance and financing page for more information.
