What follows is a compilation of the oral surgeons our neighbors referred. I left messages over the weekend and received a very prompt response from Dr. Gustavo Mongelos, who actually examined me on Saturday morning, took x-rays, prescribed antibiotics for the infection, and will extract my tooth later this week. His office was impeccably clean and his staff cordial, warm, and professional. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Mongelos professionalism and the sophistication of the technological equipment.
1. My dentist Dr Shub works right on Van Ness. He is a one stop shop and does everything himself from fillings, cleanings, root canals, extractions and crowns and is extremely gentle. Here is a link to his information. My wife and 11 yr old son both go to him as well.
2.. I went to Travis Patterson of Whiston, Patterson & Corcoran in Arlington when my root canal failed. I remember the extraction as being surprisingly inexpensive -- maybe $300? Of course, the treatment plan for the replacement implant is much more, but he was good with the extraction.
3. My stepdaughter just had all 4 of her wisdom teeth -- two of which were severely impacted (one sideways, in fact) -- removed last month. The total cost, including anesthesia was just about $2000., which we thought was very reasonable, due to the fact that this was done by an oral surgeon who's top notch.
