Santa Monica Center for Oral Surgery and Dental Implants

What Santa Monica Center for Oral Surgery and Dental Implants does

Santa Monica Center for Oral Surgery and Dental Implants is a privately-held oral and maxillofacial surgery practice established in 1974, headquartered at 2001 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 600, in mid-city Santa Monica, California. The practice delivers the full scope of oral surgery through a six-person team of board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons whose training credentials include Harvard School of Dental Medicine, UCLA, USC, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Indiana University, with hospital affiliations at Providence Saint John's Health Center, UCLA Ronald Reagan, St. John's, and Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center. Core procedures include dental implant placement (including All-on-Four and the Nobel Biocare Teeth-In-One-Hour computer-guided protocol), wisdom teeth removal, orthognathic (jaw) surgery, bone grafting and sinus lifts, facial trauma treatment, TMJ disorder management, and IV sedation dentistry, supported by pre-operative anesthesia services, financial and insurance coordination, and post-operative care instructions.

The business operates on a fee-for-service model with payment due at time of service, accepting cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and CareCredit financing. The practice is in-network for selected dental PPO plans and explicitly does not accept HMO, Medi-Cal, or Denti-Cal, while submitting out-of-network claims on patient behalf for reimbursement. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by referrals from general dentists and physicians throughout West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Brentwood, Westwood, Marina del Rey, Culver City, and the San Fernando Valley, supplemented by direct self-referrals through online appointment booking and walk-in consultation, with same-day surgery offered to qualifying patients.

Service delivery is concentrated at the single Santa Monica location, currently operating Monday-Tuesday 7am-5pm and Wednesday 7am-4:30pm, and supported by digital infrastructure including online patient registration, downloadable post-operative instruction PDFs, and a dedicated referring-doctor portal with phone and text contact channels. The practice also operates under the doing-business-as name 'Beverly Hills Center for Oral Surgery.' No external capital, software products, APIs, or AI-powered features are involved in the operating model.

Products and services

• Dental Implants Titanium screw-based tooth replacement solution that fuses to the jawbone to support dentures and dental bridges, providing a permanent alternative to removable prostheses. Indicated for adult patients with missing teeth.
• All-on-Four Dental Implants Complete arch replacement using four strategically placed implants as anchors for a bridge or overdenture of 12 to 14 teeth, avoiding the need for bone grafting. Designed for patients with extensive tooth loss.
• Wisdom Teeth Removal Extraction of third molars, typically performed under sedation, to prevent complications such as impacted teeth or damage to adjacent teeth. Targeted at adolescents and young adults.
• Facial Trauma Treatment Management and treatment of facial injuries including fractures, lacerations, avulsed teeth, and damage to soft tissues, delivered through emergency room coverage and surgical care.
• Sedation Dentistry IV sedation and anesthesia services enabling pain-free dental procedures for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, or those undergoing complex treatments.
• Sinus Lift Specialized bone grafting procedure that augments the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone material, enabling dental implant placement in patients with insufficient upper jaw bone.
• Teeth-In-One-Hour Nobel Biocare-developed computer-guided implant procedure providing fully functioning teeth on dental implants in a single visit without flap reflection, enabling faster recovery and fewer surgical visits.
• Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery Corrective jaw surgery that repositions the upper and lower jaws to improve function, bite alignment, and facial balance for patients with jaw misalignment or related conditions.

Broad incumbents

• Aspen Dental: One of the largest DSOs in North America, offering general dentistry, implants, and oral surgery through owned practices. Comparable in delivering implant services at scale, but operates a high-volume, lower-price model rather than a specialty-only, premium-reputation model.
• Heartland Dental: Largest U.S. DSO supporting general and specialty dental practices including oral surgery. Comparable in operating a multi-surgeon group practice model, though Heartland operates primarily as a support organization rather than a single-specialty brand.
• Pacific Dental Services: Major DSO supporting dental and specialty practices including implants and oral surgery nationwide. Comparable in enabling multi-location specialty dental service delivery, though PDS primarily supports general practices with embedded specialty services.
• ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers: National DSO chain focused exclusively on dental implants and full-arch solutions. Directly comparable to Santa Monica OMS because both deliver implant-centric, fee-for-service oral surgery, though ClearChoice operates a national footprint with a different delivery model (in-house labs, marketing-driven patient acquisition).
• Western Dental & Orthodontics: Large California-focused DSO offering general dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, and implants, including Medi-Cal acceptance. Comparable in providing oral surgery and implants in California, but with a fundamentally different volume and insurance-mix model.
• Sonrava Health: Diversified dental services parent company operating Western Dental and other brands across the U.S. Comparable in offering oral surgery and dental implant services at scale, particularly in California, though with broader general-dentistry positioning.
• Affordable Dentures & Implants: Large DSO providing tooth extractions, dentures, and dental implants across the U.S. Comparable in offering dental implant procedures to value-conscious patients, but competes on price rather than premium specialty reputation — a different positioning from Santa Monica OMS's West LA affluent patient base.

Others

• Nobel Biocare: Global dental implant manufacturer that developed the Teeth-In-One-Hour procedure used by Santa Monica OMS. Comparable as a strategic partner/technology supplier rather than a competitor; representative of the implant manufacturing ecosystem the practice depends on.
• Straumann Group: World-leading dental implant and restorative manufacturer. Comparable as a key technology supplier and ecosystem participant to oral surgery practices like Santa Monica OMS, though not a direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Imagen Dental Partners: Specialty-focused DSO partnering with high-quality specialty dental practices including oral surgery and implants. Highly comparable as a potential rollup/PE partner for Santa Monica OMS given its specialty practice focus and partnership (rather than acquisition-only) model.
