About Channel Islands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Based on South Glenn Drive in Camarillo, California, Channel Islands Oral & Maxillofacial 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.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

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.

What services does Channel Islands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery offer?
Listed services at Channel Islands Oral & Maxillofacial 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.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

I have written a review of my oral surgeon Dr Rivera, but I feel the need to add to my last review I’m not happy that my teeth need to be replaced but I feel very lucky to have this doctor in my arena. Dr Rivera has amazing skill( even the shots he gives do not hurt ) My teeth look and feel like my own (even better) He can see what needs to be done and has a very kind way about him. His staff is quite helpful too! Many Thanks

I was very nervous and anxious about getting my wisdom tooth extracted, but the staff made me feel comfortable and safe from the moment I arrived. Everyone was kind, caring, and supportive. Dr. Reynaldo Rivera explained everything clearly and made the process easy. I felt no pain, and the extraction went smoothly. I walked out feeling better than before and grateful for the excellent care. Highly recommend!

My experience with Dr. Rivera was amazing! I postponed my coronectomy for 6 months out of fear of the procedure, but I regret not having done it sooner! Dr. Rivera was extremely patient, kind, and understanding throughout the whole process. He walked me through the steps of what was happening and made me feel at-ease at all times. I only had local anesthesia and can truly say I did not feel any pain during the procedure and my recovery was smooth without any complications. Elia was the most wonderful surgical tech., and I am so happy I got her! She took time to explain things and gave me the extra attention and care I needed. Overall wonderful experience, and I will definitely be going back here next year when I get the coronectomy on my other tooth!

I never thought I’d be able to say this, but I had FUN getting my wisdom teeth pulled! Part of this was the miracle of laughing gas Im sure, but mostly this was due to the warm, charismatic, and professional natures of my nurse Bernie and Dr. Jesse. From my initial evaluation I was immediately struck by Dr. Jesse’s friendly, confident, and comfortable way of explaining the tooth extraction. My anxieties melted away as he told me how simple it would be, and on the day of the extraction his and Bernie’s voices were a constant friendly reminder I was in good hands while I was in the chair. I didnt feel a thing! The teeth were out in what felt like ten minutes and recovery has been a breeze. When I got my lower wisdom teeth out with a different surgeon, it was an ordeal. But I made the right choice on finishing the job with this incredible team!!! Thanks so much!

Amazing office and staff! The assistants Elia and Christine were professional, kind and efficient! Dr. Lanzon was extremely thorough with his plan for me , went into detail and answered all my questions. During the procedure he ensured my comfort throughout and talked me through it so I would know what to expect before he did the task. Overall the office itself was clean, inviting and upscale. I would encourage all to go to this office!
