What Exactly is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery encompasses specialized dental procedures that go beyond routine cleanings and fillings.
It includes surgical interventions to treat complex dental issues, facial injuries, and conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, and face.
I’ve been doing this for years, and I can tell you that oral surgery is both an art and a science.
About 10 million Americans get their wisdom teeth removed each year. That’s a lot of ice cream being eaten during recovery!

I'm Dr. Nikki. If you're reading this, you might be worried about getting a tooth pulled, considering dental implants, or maybe you're in pain and need help fast. I get it - dental work can be scary, but it doesn't have to be.
I've spent years helping thousands of Los Angeles residents just like you transform their smiles and get back to living pain-free. When most people hear "oral surgery," they immediately think about getting teeth pulled. But there's so much more to it.
In my practice, I see it as a blend of medical science and artistry that helps people eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Many of my patients are surprised when they learn about all the ways oral surgery can change their lives - from fixing jaw pain to completely rebuilding a smile with implants.
