Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data collected on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is each practice’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many patients have rated them, measured against the other oral surgeons on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on over a thousand reviews counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects whether people are still leaving reviews lately. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

How much does oral surgery cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Oral surgery pricing depends on the procedure, whether sedation is used, and how much your insurance covers. None of the practices on this page publish a fee schedule, so we are not listing figures we cannot stand behind.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These practices cover Los Angeles from Santa Monica and Century City to downtown, the South Bay, and areas near USC, so a search for an oral surgeon near me should turn up a close option on the Westside or nearer downtown. Each listing includes a phone number and address so you can check the closest option and call to confirm same-day availability.

What to ask before you book an oral surgeon

  • Are you board-certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery?
  • What sedation or anesthesia options do you offer, and what do they cost?
  • What’s included in the quoted price, and what could add to it?
  • How many similar procedures have you performed?
  • What does recovery and follow-up care look like?
  • Do you accept my dental or medical insurance, and is a payment plan available?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these oral surgeons?

We started from oral surgery practices in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked them by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need a referral to see an oral surgeon?

Not usually. Most of the practices above accept direct bookings for consultations, though your general dentist may also refer you for a specific procedure.

How much does wisdom-teeth removal cost in Los Angeles?

Cost depends on whether the tooth is fully erupted or impacted, whether sedation is used, and how much your insurance covers. None of these practices publish a fee schedule, so ask for a written, itemized quote at your consultation before booking.

The bottom line

Santa Monica Center for Oral Surgery is the safe default on this page, with the deepest review history and a perfect rating. If South Bay or downtown is more convenient, Oral Surgery Partners and Downtown Dental are solid nearby alternatives. Confirm sedation options and get the full cost breakdown in writing before your procedure.
