Oral Surgery Procedures in Bakersfield and Valencia, CA
Everything below is surgery we perform routinely, in our own suites, under the level of anesthesia you choose. Read the one that brought you here. Each page sets out why it is done, how it is planned, and what recovery looks like.
Start with the problem, not the procedure.
Most people arrive here after a dentist pointed at a radiograph, or after something started hurting at the back of the jaw. You do not need to know which of these you need. That is what the consultation is for.
If you are not sure where you fit, call the office and describe what is happening. We will tell you which of these it sounds like, and whether it is urgent.
