About The Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Specialists of San Diego
Based on Moraga Avenue in the Clairemont area of San Diego, California, The Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Specialists of San Diego is a dental practice serving the area. 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.
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.

Thank you so very much Dr. Shelton and staff. Everyone was incredibly supportive and professional. All instructions were clear and precise.
My experience at oral surgery of san diego was top notch. I have such dental anxiety but staff, and provider made everything very comfortable. I visited the costal location for my wisdom removal and it was clean, efficient, and was a breeze, lots of parking. 10/10 recommend. Thanks Dr. Shelton!
Being in the Dental industry, I’m very fussy about who gets access to my mouth and I had a stellar experience getting two teeth removed. Pain was minimal and only lasted a day. I was so impressed and I highly recommend Dr Koshgerian
I can’t say enough good things about this clinic! Thank you Dr Koshgenian and the team for making my upper wisdom teeth removals so seamlessly ! From bedside manners ,professionalism , to being super thorough, and making the procedure so smooth sailing. I can’t say enough great things. Thank you so much !
The staff is always kind and prompt. Doctor Shelton is the best. He is clear explaining the pre and post directions of the procedure as well as the procedure itself. I am very happy to have him as my oral surgeon.
Experience from consultation visit, administrative staff, and dental assistants were across the board 5 stars! Very professional, polite, and knowledgeable of any questions I had. Office was also very clean. Love that walking into any medical office. The day of surgery couldn’t have gone better. Dr. Shelton was amazing! Post surgery couldn’t have gone better. Perfectly lined out instructions w/meds. In addition I did not experience pain/soreness after numbness went away. Thank you to everyone who assisted with this whole process! Greatly appreciate all of you! 🤩🤩🤩
My son had all his wisdom teeth removed, Dr.Shelton and his team are Amazing! My son wasn’t even nervous after meeting everyone which speaks volumes. They are very communicative and have videos that walk you through the process and are very nice and make the whole experience relaxing. I highly recommend Dr.Shelton and The Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Specialists of San Diego. Thank you for taking Wonderful care of my son:)
Had such a great experience with Dr. Shelton and the whole team! I was super nervous going in since I’d been putting off getting my wisdom teeth out for years, but they made me feel comfortable and reassured right away. Getting this done in my late 20s I was extremely anxious, but everything went so much better than I expected! Dr. Shelton was calm, reassuring, and made the whole thing feel super easy, and the staff was super kind and supportive the entire time. I’m on day 3 of recovery now and doing really well! Really glad I finally went through with it—couldn’t have asked for a better experience 😊
Dr. Shelton, Heather and team were fantastic from start to finish! From my initial call with Heather, I could tell they really care about their patients. She took the time to explain the process, what to ask my insurance to ensure I'm covered, and answer all my questions with patience and kindness. I never felt rushed, which is important when trying to understand the process. Each interaction with staff was pleasant and friendly. Everyone is welcoming, compassionate and helpful. Dr. Shelton was kind, informative, takes time to explain things and did a wonderful job with my wisdom tooth extraction. They entire team is friendly, is such a well-oiled machine and treat every client with the utmost care and respect. HIGHLY recommend this caring and professional team for any of your oral surgery needs!!
