We pride ourselves on being a full-scope practice. Whether you are a parent in Berkeley looking for wisdom teeth removal for your teenager, or an adult seeking to restore your smile, we have the capabilities to help.
If you are suffering from tooth loss, dental implants offer a long-term solution that mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. We utilize the latest imaging technology to plan implant placement with high precision, ensuring the best possible aesthetic and functional outcome.
For patients who have experienced jaw bone loss, we offer bone grafting procedures, including sinus lifts and ridge augmentation, to build a solid foundation for implants. We also treat complex jaw issues and TMJ disorders aimed at relieving chronic pain and improving bite function.
We respect and understand that many patients experience dental anxiety. At our office, we do everything we can to make sure that your experience is as enjoyable as possible. By communicating clearly what you can expect during your treatment, we are often able to alleviate dental fear. We encourage you to bring headphones and music to listen to during your treatment and ask us about sedation options. Our surgeons are trained in hospital-grade anesthesia to ensure your safety and comfort.

The timeline for restoring your smile with dental implants varies from patient to patient. Generally, the process takes anywhere from three to six months. This time allows the implant post to securely fuse with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration) before the final crown is placed. If bone grafting is required prior to placement, the overall timeline may be extended.
Most patients report that dental implant surgery is far less painful than they anticipated. We use localized numbing and offer excellent sedation options to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure. During your dental implant recovery, you can expect some mild swelling and soreness for a few days, which is typically well-managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs.
For most patients, the initial recovery after wisdom teeth removal takes about 3 to 5 days. You may experience some swelling and mild discomfort during this time. Most individuals can return to school, work, and normal non-strenuous activities within a few days, though you should avoid vigorous exercise for at least a week to allow the extraction sites to heal properly.
Proper nutrition is essential for healing. We recommend sticking to a diet of soft foods to eat after oral surgery for the first several days. Excellent choices include yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and smoothies. You should strictly avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, and acidic foods, as well as seeds or nuts, which can easily become lodged in the surgical sites.
To prevent a dry socket after a tooth extraction, it is critical that you do not use straws, smoke, spit forcefully, or consume carbonated beverages for at least 72 hours, as suction can dislodge the blood clot forming in the socket. Warning signs of a dry socket include severe, radiating pain that develops a few days after the procedure, a bad taste in the mouth, and visible loss of the blood clot at the surgical site. Contact us immediately if you experience these symptoms.
