Oral Surgery & Wisdom Teeth Removal Near Chino Hills, CA
If you're in Chino Hills and need a tooth extraction, a wisdom teeth evaluation, or oral surgery for your child or teen, our office is a short drive away in Pomona — and every surgical case is handled personally by Dr. Sean Moghadam, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Most oral surgery sites don't tell you what anything costs until you're already in the chair. We'd rather you know the numbers up front, so the pricing below is real.
Meet Dr. Sean Moghadam
Dr. Moghadam is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who graduated with honors from UCLA. He completed a General Practice Residency at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, a surgical internship and clinical instructor role at The Ohio State University, and his Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. He handles wisdom teeth removal (including impacted teeth), tooth extractions, IV sedation and general anesthesia, dental implants, bone grafting, and jaw surgery.
Wisdom Teeth Removal for Chino Hills Patients
Wisdom teeth cause problems when they're impacted, painful, infected, hard to clean, or pushing against neighboring teeth. Dr. Moghadam evaluates the position and condition of each tooth and gives you a straightforward answer on whether removal is recommended — not a default "yes" because it's easier to schedule the surgery.
Real pricing (self-pay, no insurance):
- $300 per wisdom tooth extraction
- $1,200 flat fee for IV sedation or general anesthesia during wisdom teeth removal
That flat sedation fee covers the anesthesia regardless of how many teeth are removed in the same visit, so a full set of four doesn't multiply the sedation cost.
Tooth Extractions & Other Oral Surgery
Beyond wisdom teeth, we handle extractions for teeth that can't be predictably restored, and other oral surgical procedures your child's dentist or orthodontist may recommend — for example, making room for orthodontic treatment or removing a tooth that's failed a root canal.
Insurance and Medi-Cal
We accept Medi-Cal Dental and PPO insurance plans. For IEHP Medi-Cal members, dental benefits are provided through Medi-Cal Dental. If you don't have coverage, the self-pay pricing above applies. Our team can check your specific plan's coverage for extractions and sedation before your visit, so there are no surprises at checkout.
Payment Plans and Financing
We offer zero-interest in-house financing for oral surgery, the same as our orthodontic patients get — so a payment plan doesn't add any extra cost beyond the treatment itself. CareCredit is also accepted, and paying in full in cash gets a 5% discount that stacks with CareCredit.
Sedation Options for Oral Surgery
Not every extraction needs sedation, but for wisdom teeth removal and more involved procedures, we offer nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. Dr. Moghadam will recommend the right level based on the procedure and your child's anxiety level and medical history — you don't have to ask for a specific option to get an honest recommendation.
What Happens at a Wisdom Teeth Consultation?
Before any extraction, Dr. Moghadam evaluates:
- X-rays showing the position and depth of each wisdom tooth
- Whether teeth are impacted or erupting normally
- Signs of infection, crowding, or damage to neighboring teeth
- Which sedation option fits the case and the patient
You'll leave the consultation knowing whether removal is recommended, what it will cost, and what sedation option makes sense — not a vague "let's schedule it and see."
Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, and Oral Surgery, One Office
Families coming from Chino Hills often need more than one kind of care — a child in braces, a teen who needs wisdom teeth evaluated, and younger siblings still due for routine cleanings. Because we provide pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and oral surgery in the same office, that's one office to coordinate with instead of three separate referrals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does wisdom teeth removal cost without insurance?
$300 per tooth, plus a flat $1,200 fee for IV sedation or general anesthesia if sedation is needed — the sedation fee doesn't increase based on how many teeth are removed in the same visit.
Do you accept Medi-Cal or insurance for oral surgery?
Yes — we accept Medi-Cal Dental and PPO insurance plans. For IEHP Medi-Cal members, dental benefits are provided through Medi-Cal Dental. Our team can check your specific plan's coverage before your visit.
At what age should wisdom teeth be evaluated?
There's no single age that applies to everyone — it depends on how the teeth are developing and positioned on X-rays. Dr. Moghadam can evaluate this starting in the early-to-mid teen years.
Are you put to sleep for wisdom teeth removal?
You can be. Options range from local anesthetic alone, to IV sedation, where most patients sleep through the procedure and remember little, to general anesthesia. IV sedation and general anesthesia are a flat $1,200 and are given in our Pomona office by Dr. Moghadam.
Do you provide tooth extractions for reasons other than wisdom teeth?
Yes — extractions for teeth that can't be predictably restored, or to support orthodontic treatment, are also part of our oral surgery services.
Do you offer payment plans for oral surgery?
Yes — zero-interest in-house financing, plus CareCredit and a 5% cash discount, the same options available for our orthodontic patients.
How should I prepare the night before wisdom teeth surgery?
Follow the fasting instructions if you're having sedation, arrange an adult to drive you home, and stock soft foods and ice packs. Wear comfortable clothes with short sleeves for the IV. Tell us about every medication you take; we'll say which to continue.
What does the first week after wisdom teeth removal look like?
Day one: gauze, ice, rest and cool soft food. Days two and three: swelling and soreness peak. Days four and five: most people are back at school or work. By the end of the week most are eating normally, and stitches dissolve over one to two weeks.
