Santa Monica is one of the most vibrant communities on the Westside of Los Angeles, drawing residents and visitors from across the region to its beaches, parks, and health-conscious lifestyle. For Santa Monica 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 east along Wilshire Boulevard at 12300 Wilshire Blvd #326, Los Angeles, CA 90025. From Santa Monica, the drive east on Wilshire is direct and straightforward, making our office one of the most accessible 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 Santa Monica patients at every stage of life. From routine 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 Santa Monica patients complete their initial consultation in a single visit, leaving with a full understanding of their diagnosis, options, and next steps.
Santa Monica has no shortage of dental providers along its own stretch of Wilshire Boulevard. Patients who make the short drive east to our Los Angeles office do so because of what is difficult to find in a single practice — dual board-certified surgeons, in-house advanced imaging, full sedation scope, and a comprehensive range of procedures under one roof.

The cost of oral surgery depends on the procedure, its complexity, and whether sedation is part of the 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 and ensures 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 available to answer coverage questions during your initial consultation.
Our office is located at 12300 Wilshire Blvd #326, Los Angeles, CA 90025. From central Santa Monica, the drive east along Wilshire Boulevard typically takes 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic. Patients can also reach us via Lincoln Boulevard heading east or via the 10 Freeway to Centinela or Bundy.
No referral is required to schedule a consultation at Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center. Many Santa Monica 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 the 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.
