About Clark & Patel Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Clark & Patel Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a dental practice on Solar Drive in Oxnard, California. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?
Usually on referral, when gum disease has advanced beyond what routine treatment is resolving — deep pockets, ongoing bone loss, or gum recession needing surgical management.
What is gum recession and can it be treated?
Recession is when gum tissue pulls back and exposes more of the tooth root, often from aggressive brushing, gum disease, or grinding. Grafting procedures can cover exposed roots, though how well that works depends on the extent of the recession.
Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

My dentist Dr. Anthony Cabebe recommended Dr. Clark and Patel and I am so happy he did. He told me these guys were great. I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Clark. He explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable. The procedure was quick and painless. The assistances were very helpful and explained post surgery steps carefully and they called with follow-up instructions. All went well. Thank You Dr Clark and Staff for scheduling me the same day and making this a positive experience. Jimmie

Friendly, fast and efficient. The Dr. was able to remove a broken, infected tooth same day as my evaluation appt. The Dr. and staff were professional, the procedure didn't take very long and I didn’t have very much pain after. They called a few days later to checkin on me.

Dr. Clark and staff did an outstanding job in communication from the time of scheduling the initial appointment, to preop check-in, departure and post procedure follow-up. Dr. Clark was very thorough in his review of my case and provided the details of his approach and addressed all of my questions. Dr. Clark was confident and reassuring throughout our conversation. Dr. Clark is the ultimate professional and very focused on the patient and their overall well being throughout the process. Thank-you Dr. Clark and staff!

Dr Patel is a great and caring. I wish Dr Patel staff would just a little more supportive. They just do ok but not a great customer satisfaction. They just do their jobs. Sad , it takes a whole team to build a great business . Probably, if u need help with the office with your bills , please go somewhere else
