Cost & Insurance for Oral Surgery
The cost of oral surgery depends on the procedure and its complexity, from a single surgical extraction to jaw surgery. After your evaluation, you receive a written treatment plan with the full cost, so there are no surprises.
Many PPO and HMO plans cover oral surgery procedures, and we verify your benefits before treatment begins. For any balance, payment plans through CareCredit and Citi are available. See our financing options.
Need surgical dental care?
Oral Surgery Procedures We Offer
We offer a range of surgical procedures to address complex dental and facial needs, all in one office.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is severely damaged or a wisdom tooth is impacted beneath the gum, surgical removal protects your oral health. Dr. Farid performs extractions with care to minimize discomfort. See our tooth extraction page for more.
Dental Implant Placement
Implants replace missing teeth by anchoring a titanium post in the jawbone as a foundation for a natural-looking replacement. Dr. Farid uses advanced imaging and guided surgery for precise placement. See our dental implants page for more.
Bone Grafting
When the jaw lacks enough bone to support an implant, bone grafting rebuilds that foundation. It can also repair bone defects from trauma or disease, using high-quality grafting materials for a solid result.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Also called orthognathic surgery, this corrects misaligned jaws that affect your bite, speech, or facial balance. Dr. Farid works with orthodontists to plan both the functional and aesthetic outcome.
Trauma Surgery
Facial and dental injuries need prompt, skilled care. Dr. Farid provides surgical treatment for trauma to restore function and appearance.
Our Professional Affiliations
When You Need an Oral Surgeon
You may see an oral surgeon on your own or because your dentist referred you. Dr. Farid provides surgical care for issues that go beyond routine dental treatment, including:
- Impacted or difficult wisdom teeth
- Complex or surgical tooth extractions
- Placing dental implants, including cases that need bone work first
- Insufficient jawbone that needs grafting before implants
- Bite and alignment problems that require corrective jaw surgery
- Facial or dental trauma
If you simply need a straightforward tooth extraction or are exploring dental implants, those pages cover the details. When a case is surgical or complex, that is where Dr. Farid’s specialist training makes the difference.

We’ve Got You
What to Expect With
Oral Surgery
Surgery sounds daunting, but a clear process and a focus on comfort make all the difference.
1. Thorough evaluation. We begin with digital X-rays and 3D scans to understand your condition, so we can diagnose accurately and plan a safe, effective procedure.
2. Personalized surgical plan. We create a treatment plan, explain your options clearly, and answer your questions, so you feel informed and comfortable before anything begins.
3. Comfortable surgery. Your procedure is performed with precision, and anesthesia and sedation options keep you comfortable throughout.
4. Complete aftercare. You go home with a detailed recovery plan, pain management guidance, and follow-up appointments to support smooth healing.
Surgical and General Care, Under One Roof
Oral surgery rarely stands alone. An extraction may lead to an implant, an implant may need bone grafting first, and jaw surgery works hand in hand with orthodontics. When your oral surgeon, dentist, and other specialists share one office, your care is coordinated start to finish instead of scattered across separate practices.
That is the advantage here: Dr. Farid’s surgical work connects directly with the rest of your treatment, whether that is a crown on a restored tooth or the implant that follows a graft. You will find us on the first floor of Pacific Canyons Medical Center at 26302 La Paz Rd #203, just off the I-5 at the La Paz Road exit, with on-site parking. We care for patients from across the city, Rancho Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Laguna Niguel, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Aliso Viejo.
Open Monday to Thursday 8 AM to 5 PM and Friday 8 AM to 3 PM.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a dental specialist with advanced surgical training to treat the mouth, jaws, and face. This includes complex extractions, implant surgery, bone grafting, corrective jaw surgery, and trauma care.
Do I need a referral to see the oral surgeon?
No. Many patients are referred by a dentist, but you can also book directly. If you have an impacted tooth, need surgical implant work, or have a jaw concern, a consultation is a good first step.
Will I be put to sleep for oral surgery?
It depends on the procedure and your comfort level. Anesthesia and sedation options are available, ranging from local numbing to deeper sedation, and we discuss the right choice for your case at your consultation.
How long is recovery after oral surgery?
Recovery varies with the procedure. A simple surgical extraction may heal in a couple of weeks, while jaw surgery takes longer. You receive a detailed recovery plan and follow-up care to support healing.
Is oral surgery painful?
Your comfort is managed with anesthesia during the procedure and a clear pain-management plan afterward. Most patients find recovery more manageable than expected, especially with the aftercare guidance we provide.
Will insurance cover oral surgery?
Many PPO and HMO plans cover oral surgery procedures in part, and some may also fall under medical insurance. We verify your specific benefits before treatment so you know your out-of-pocket cost in advance.
