Not all jaw pain is "just stress."

A few signs it's worth getting checked:
β†’ Pain that lingers, even after a day or two of rest
β†’ Clicking or popping when you open and close
β†’ Pain that spreads toward your ear

Left alone, these can point to TMJ dysfunction, an impacted tooth, or an infection. The earlier it's checked, the simpler the fix usually is.

If your jaw pain isn't going away, Chula Vista OMS can help you figure out why. Call (619) 482-6774 or visit https://www.chulavistaoralsurgery.com to schedule an evaluation.

✨ A Wonderful Evening of Connection & Community! ✨

We had such a great time last night hosting our Chula Vista Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center Social Hour at Savoie Italian Eatery! 🍝πŸ₯‚

It was a pleasure bringing together doctors, office managers, hygienists, lead assistants, and key team members from our referring offices for an evening of delicious food, great conversation, and meaningful connections.

We truly enjoyed spending time with everyone outside of the office, getting to know each other better, sharing some laughs, and celebrating the strong relationships we’ve built within our dental community. 🦷❀️

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We are incredibly grateful for your continued trust, partnership, and support. We look forward to many more opportunities to connect and enjoy time together!

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. We remember the lives lost, the first responders who gave everything, and the families still carrying that loss.

Chula Vista Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center joins our community in a moment of remembrance today.

We will never forget.

Overbite? Underbite? Sometimes it's the jaw, not just the teeth.

Orthognathic surgery corrects irregularities of the jaw bones. Severe underbites, overbites, and crossbites can affect how you chew, speak, and breathe, not just how your smile looks.

Braces align the teeth. Surgery aligns the jaw. Your surgeon and orthodontist plan every phase together, so the two treatments work as one plan.

Beyond function, treatment also supports facial balance.

Wondering if jaw surgery is right for you? Call (619) 482-6774 or visit https://www.chulavistaoralsurgery.com.

Can oral surgery be done before braces? Yes. It is often the first step.

Extractions for crowding, impacted canine exposure, wisdom teeth removal, and corrective jaw surgery all support orthodontic treatment. Your oral surgeon and orthodontist time each step together. Swipe for the four most common reasons.

Early evaluations, often in the teen years, keep braces on schedule instead of delaying them. Call (619) 482-6774 or book online at chulavistaoralsurgery.com.

Tooth replacement is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Step 1. Your surgeon removes the damaged tooth and places a titanium implant into the jawbone.

Step 2. The implant heals for about 6 weeks while your jawbone fuses to it, creating a permanent foundation.

Step 3. A custom abutment and crown complete your restoration, looking and functioning like a natural tooth.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Reach out to our team at Chula Vista Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center to see if implants are right for you. Call (619) 482-6774.

Ever wonder what happens before a procedure like a dental implant or wisdom tooth extraction? For many patients, it starts with a CBCT scan.

A cone beam CT creates a detailed 3D picture of your teeth, jaw, and bone, so your treatment plan is guided by precision, not guesswork. It's especially useful for implants, impacted teeth, and surgical planning.

The scan itself is quick and painless, one short pass with no discomfort, done right in our office. And because it uses low-dose 3D imaging, it's a fraction of the radiation of a traditional CT scan.

Ask about 3D imaging at your next consultation. Call (619) 482-6774 or visit https://www.chulavistaoralsurgery.com.

Do you need to go to the ER if you knocked your tooth out?

If you can still breathe, swallow, and stop the bleeding, you probably don't need the ER. You need an oral surgeon.

The ER handles medical emergencies. Oral surgeons handle facial trauma, dental infections, jaw injuries, and wisdom tooth emergencies directly. Skipping straight to us often means fewer referrals and faster treatment.

Not sure? Call Chula Vista Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center first. That one phone call is usually the biggest time-saver. Reach us at (619) 482-6774.

Feeling nervous about your upcoming oral surgery consultation? You're not the only one, and there's no need to worry.

At Chula Vista Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center, we start by talking through your health history, concerns, and goals before anything else happens. Then imaging, like 3D scans, gives us a clear picture so your treatment plan is built around your case specifically.

We'll explain your options, including sedation and anesthesia, in plain language, and walk through timing and costs before you leave.

Just bring your referral, insurance card, and current medication list.

Call (619) 482-6774 or visit www.chulavistaoralsurgery.com if you have questions before your appointment.
