About Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery

Based on Long Beach Boulevard in the Los Cerritos area of Long Beach, California, Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery is a dental practice serving the area. Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front, since they arrive last and often into a jaw with no room left. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — one that erupts cleanly and can be kept clean is often left alone.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery located in Long Beach?

What days is Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery open?
Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery is open Monday through Friday. Contact the practice through this page to confirm current appointment times before travelling.
What services does Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery offer?
Listed services at Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery include Wisdom Teeth Removal. The full list is shown on this page.
What age is best to have wisdom teeth taken out?
Late teens to early twenties is often easier, because the roots are less fully formed and bone is more forgiving, so healing tends to be quicker. Removal is still routinely done later when there is a reason for it.
Why do wisdom teeth cause problems?
They arrive last, often into a jaw with no room left, so they become impacted or come through at an angle. Partly erupted wisdom teeth are also very difficult to clean, which is why they are prone to repeated infection and decay.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
Every six months suits most people. If you have gum disease or a history of decay a dentist may suggest coming more often. The point of regular visits is mostly to catch problems while they are still small and cheap to treat.

They made this dreadful experience much easier than i thought. I had a great surgeon for my wisdom teeth extraction. Got all 4 taken out. I thought it would be much worse than it actually was, but the recovery hasn't been that bad at all. They did a fantastic job & made me feel really comfortable about the whole experience. Very professional & great staff!!

Dr. David Smith and his staffs were very professional, helpful and friendly. They answered all my questions, gave me an honest estimate, and did not aggressively tried to upsell me their services like one of the offices that I went to get 2nd/3rd opinions with! That one office tried to used sex appeal to persuade me, but I didn't cave in like the younger me would have 😅!

I recently had a tooth extraction performed at this office, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire visit. What stood out most was how attentive and patient the dentist was. He never seemed rushed and took the time to explain the procedure, answer my questions, and make sure I was completely comfortable before proceeding with the extraction. His calm and caring approach helped ease any anxiety I had and made the experience much better than I expected. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I felt well cared for from start to finish. It’s clear that the entire team genuinely cares about their patients and strives to provide excellent service. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for professional, compassionate dental care.

I am very impressed with this office so far, even tho i haven’t had my tooth extraction yet. From the phone calls with the staff (who were genuinely trying to help me) to a very clean, and well run office it seemed. That inspired me to have more confidence with my upcoming procedure since i resist going to dentists. The best part was when i had the consult with the surgeon, he informed me of exactly what he thought I needed, and not anything extra financially. That was a pleasant surprise! At this point, i would highly recommend them….

I highly recommend this facility!! The front office staff is friendly and welcoming. They explained their policies clearly beforehand. Dr Hsu was wonderful! His calm nature kept me from getting nervous. His explanation of the procedure was very thorough and informative. He even texted to follow-up on me after the procedure. He went above and beyond for my care. So happy to have found this place.

Really nice experience despite high levels of anxiety going in for an extraction. I was seen quickly and efficiently, everything was explained clearly and I felt nothing. I was in and out within 10 mins. (The office could use some more relaxing ambience maybe but since I was hardly there it didn’t really matter!)

I had an excellent experience at Bixby Knolls Oral Surgery. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was outstanding—everyone was welcoming, professional, and genuinely attentive. What stood out most to me was how caring and in tune Dr. Hsu and his staff were with my needs. They took the time to listen, explain every step of the process, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout my visit. It’s clear they truly prioritize their patients’ well-being, which made a big difference in my overall experience. I highly recommend this oral surgery center to anyone looking for skilled care combined with compassion and exceptional service. I wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future.
