About West Coast Oral Surgery
Based on Erma Road in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego, California, West Coast 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.
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.

Both my daughter and I had exceptional experiences being taken care of by West Coast Oral Surgery. The entire staff was friendly, very professional and caring. Highly recommend the practice!
I had both bottom wisdom teeth removed here, and it was completely painless. I felt nothing during the procedure, and recovery was smooth. The staff are super friendly. They walked me through every step, checked in on me constantly, and made the whole thing easy. If you need your wisdom teeth out, go here.
West Coast was very tentative and caring for your patients.
Went in to remove a lesion and after a consultation appointment, we scheduled something pretty quick and got it done. Recovery was fine and the removal was painless! Everyone working there has been so helpful and kind, would recommend!
I really can’t thank Dr. Matin enough. I came to him after two botched bone grafts and he got me back on track and healing well. I still have some healing time ahead of me, but it’s actually healing now and I have a positive direction. Thank you to Dr. Matin and his crew at West Coast Oral Surgery.
Got all 4 wisdom teeth operated out! Dr Matin is fantastic and the staff/ nurses are amazing! The nurses were fun to chill with before the doc walked in for surgery; they gave me plenty of time to calm my nerves.
I recently had an incomplete extraction on a lower molar by another dentist which was causing pain and would never have healed. Dr. Matin was confident he could make the necessary surgical repairs, taking out additional bone and bone fragments that were never removed during the original extraction. Dr. Matin and his entire team provided excellent care during the initial examination, surgery, and post op. I am now healing up quickly and cannot be more grateful to West Coast Surgery. They have greatly improved my quality of life. Betty Miller
Could not be happier with my experience. While having a tooth extraction is not high on my list of fun activities, the entire staff did everything possible to make it better. The doctor and staff listened to my concerns. I appreciate their attitude and professionalism.
One week post wisdom teeth removal and doing great! I was quite afraid of this procedure and put it off until I felt some aching. I was able to get a consultation pretty quickly and the surgery followed not long after. The team’s wonderful and the healing process has also been pretty good (better compared to my friends according to them). Minimal swelling and pain.
