What Is Oral Surgery, and Why Have It In-Office?
Oral surgery covers any surgical procedure performed on your teeth, gums, or jaw. That includes removing damaged teeth, placing dental implants, and correcting issues that affect your bite and comfort.
Here's why having dental surgery in West Covina done at Covina Smile makes such a difference:
- One trusted team. You skip the hassle of a new office, new paperwork, and a stranger performing your surgery. Dr. Khavaran already knows your smile and history.
- Seamless care. From diagnosis to surgery to follow-up, everything happens in one place, which keeps your treatment smooth and coordinated.
- Less stress. Familiar faces and a comfortable setting make the whole experience far easier, especially if you feel nervous about surgery.
- Faster scheduling. No waiting weeks for a referral. We get you in and on the road to recovery sooner.
That convenience matters. When your dentist can plan and perform your surgery, you get more consistent, personalized care from start to finish.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are the most common oral surgery we perform at Covina Smile. Our goal is always to save your natural teeth, but sometimes removal is the healthiest choice for your smile.
When You Might Need an Extraction
You may need a tooth removed for several reasons:
- Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth that cause pain or crowding
- Teeth damaged by deep decay, root fracture, or trauma
- Primary (baby) teeth blocking permanent teeth from coming in
- Orthodontic needs, where removing a tooth helps create your ideal bite
Wisdom Teeth and Impacted Teeth
Wisdom teeth often arrive without enough room to grow properly. When that happens, they can become impacted, trapped beneath the gum and bone, leading to pain, infection, and pressure on nearby teeth.
Removing impacted teeth takes real skill. Dr. Khavaran has extensive training and experience with these procedures, so even complex extractions are handled efficiently and comfortably. We keep you at ease throughout and send you home with clear aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.
Dental Implants: A Surgical Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth affect how you eat, speak, and feel. Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking fix, and they're one of our specialty surgical services at Covina Smile.
Many general dentists lack the training to place implants and refer these cases out. Our team is different. Dr. Khavaran performs the full implant process in-house.
Here's how it works:
- Placing the post. We insert a titanium rod into your jawbone, right where your tooth root used to be.
- Healing and bonding. Over a few months, the post fuses with your bone, creating a strong, stable base.
- Adding the crown. Once your gums heal, we attach an abutment (a small connector) and top it with a custom porcelain crown that matches your natural teeth.
The result feels and functions like your own tooth. Because we manage every step, your implant journey stays coordinated and stress-free.
Additional Oral Surgery Procedures
Beyond extractions and implants, Covina Smile offers a range of surgical services to keep your smile healthy. Depending on your needs, we can help with:
- Bone grafting to prepare your jaw for implants when bone has thinned
- Pre-prosthetic surgery to ready your mouth for dentures or other restorations
- Treatment of problematic teeth damaged by decay, fracture, or injury
Not sure which procedure is right for you? That's what your consultation is for. Dr. Khavaran will examine your smile, explain your options in plain language, and build a plan that fits your health and goals.

Recovery time varies by procedure. Most patients feel much better within a few days after a simple extraction, while implant or wisdom teeth surgery may take one to two weeks for fuller healing. Following your aftercare instructions and resting help speed things up. Dr. Khavaran will give you a clear timeline for your specific case.
