About Silegy OMFS - Oral Surgeon

Silegy OMFS - Oral Surgeon operates on East Spring Street in the Los Altos area of Long Beach, 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.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

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.

So far, so good! I’m partway through the implant process and have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Silegy and his staff. This process is a bit daunting for me, but they have been so nice and reassuring. The extraction itself wasn’t bad at all. Just a bit scary to lose a permanent tooth. I’ll post an update once the implant is in and it’s like nothing ever happened!

I was a walk in, and I was told that they would see me when they could. The minute I walked in, they started taking care of everything. And the wait time was minimal. They took care of everything and made it as painless as possible. Thank you

Without a shadow of a doubt Dr. Tim Silegy and his entire team are my family. They welcomed me into his beautiful office from the first consultation and every time thereafter. With Ms. Jill at the front desk to Ms. Gloria making sure you’re in a good spot with the financials and Dr. Silegy himself so vibrant and walking you through every step of your operation, you just won’t find a better place to have any major dental work done. I had all four of my wisdoms extracted and the team was so amazing the morning of that they asked me what I wanted to listen to before I KO’d and all I remember was Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas blaring in the room and Dr. Silegy singing and I was out like a light. I woke up and the team really took care of me and instructed my mom on what I needed to do for the healing. A few days after my surgery I had some discomfort and in true fashion Dr. Silegy told me to come back in and patched me right up and I am truly grateful for him and the whole team. He and his team really does give you the care you deserve. Best team in the business hands down xoxo.

As someone who has worked in the dental field for over 30 years, I can confidently say there is no better oral surgeon on the planet than Dr. Tim Silegy, DDS. His skill, precision, and calm professionalism are unmatched, and his compassionate bedside manner immediately puts patients at ease. Dr. Silegy’s expertise is complemented by his amazing team — every single member is kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated to creating a seamless, stress-free experience from start to finish. It’s rare to find a combination of exceptional surgical talent and genuine care, but Dr. Silegy and his staff embody both perfectly. Whether it’s a simple extraction or a complex surgical case, I trust him completely and would recommend him without hesitation. Long Beach is incredibly lucky to have such a phenomenal oral surgeon and team!

Dr. Tim Silegy is just amazing. I traveled from quite a distance because of his reputation. He and his staff are very caring and on top of every detail from making sure they work with you for your appointments to your follow up visits. I am beyond happy with my smile and outcome. No one loves to hear they need implants and dental work that involves a surgeon. However it happens quite a lot and everyone looks at your smile. I never want to feel self conscious about my teeth and Dr. Tim made my smile perfect! Def recommend him.

Dr Silegy did my teenage daughter’s wisdom teeth removal. He is wonderful. I was so impressed with the entire experience. Scheduling was easy, never waited more than 5 minutes, and the receptionist and rest of staff were super friendly and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend!
