Mar Vista is one of the Westside’s most established residential neighborhoods, tucked between Venice, Santa Monica, and Culver City along Venice Boulevard and the 405 corridor. For Mar Vista residents who need oral surgery — whether for wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, bone grafting, or more complex reconstructive care — Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center is located just minutes north along Centinela Avenue or east via Venice Boulevard at 12300 Wilshire Blvd #326, Los Angeles, CA 90025. The drive from Mar Vista to our office typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, making us one of the most conveniently reachable oral surgery practices for this community.
Our practice is led by two fellowship-trained, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons who bring hospital-level surgical training to an outpatient setting. You can learn more about our team and the credentials that set our surgeons apart from general dental providers.
We provide a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery services for Mar Vista patients at every stage of life. From straightforward extractions to complex reconstructive procedures, our surgical team has the training and technology to deliver the care you need without multiple referrals.
Our goal is to make your first appointment as clear and comfortable as possible. Most Mar Vista patients complete their initial consultation in a single visit, leaving with a full understanding of their diagnosis, options, and next steps.
Mar Vista sits at the intersection of several Westside communities, giving residents proximity to many dental providers. Patients who choose to make the short drive north to our Los Angeles office come for what is difficult to find anywhere on the Westside in a single practice: dual board-certified surgeons, in-house advanced imaging, comprehensive sedation options, and a full range of oral surgery procedures under one roof.

The cost of oral surgery depends on the procedure, its complexity, and whether sedation is part of your plan. We believe financial considerations should never prevent someone from getting necessary care, which is why we provide a clear cost breakdown before any treatment begins. Our team reviews your insurance coverage in advance so you have a full picture of expected out-of-pocket costs before your procedure.
For patients without dental insurance or whose plans provide limited coverage, we offer flexible payment options that allow costs to be spread over time. You can review our insurance and financing information before your appointment. We accept a wide range of PPO dental insurance plans and are happy to answer coverage questions during your initial consultation.
Our office is located at 12300 Wilshire Blvd #326, Los Angeles, CA 90025. From central Mar Vista, the drive typically takes 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic. The most direct routes are Centinela Avenue heading north to Wilshire Boulevard, Venice Boulevard east to Bundy Drive then north, or the 405 Freeway north to the Wilshire Boulevard exit.
No referral is required to schedule a consultation at Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center. Many Mar Vista patients contact us directly after identifying a problem or receiving a recommendation from their general dentist. If your dentist has taken recent X-rays or provided records, bringing those to your appointment can help us plan more efficiently.
We offer local anesthesia, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, all administered in-office by our surgeons. IV sedation and general anesthesia are appropriate for patients with dental anxiety, those undergoing multiple procedures in one visit, or complex cases requiring deeper anesthesia. Our team will discuss which option is safest and most appropriate for your specific procedure during your consultation.
Most patients recover from wisdom tooth removal within five to seven days, with the most noticeable swelling and discomfort occurring in the first two to three days. Patients who receive IV sedation will need a driver and should plan to rest the remainder of that day. We provide complete post-operative instructions and are available to answer recovery questions.
Coverage varies by plan. Some PPO dental plans provide partial coverage for implant placement, particularly when tooth loss is the result of injury or a covered extraction. Bone grafting may be covered under medical insurance when it is linked to trauma or a medically necessary procedure. We review your specific plan before your appointment and provide a clear breakdown of covered versus out-of-pocket costs. See our insurance and financing page for more detail.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete four to six years of accredited hospital surgical residency training after dental school, covering advanced anesthesia, complex implant cases, bone reconstruction, jaw surgery, and facial trauma. This depth of training is particularly important for patients with bone loss, anatomical challenges, or cases requiring sedation. General dentists can place implants in straightforward cases, but patients with more complex needs are typically best served by a board-certified oral surgeon. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons offers additional information on implant procedures and what to expect from a specialist.
