Oral surgery in Carmel Valley

Carmel Valley opened in 2018 on High Bluff Drive, in the office district between Del Mar Heights Road and Carmel Valley Road. Del Mar Highlands Town Center is a few minutes away, and Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is just to the west. Patients come from Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Torrey Hills and Pacific Highlands Ranch.

Dr. Hannah Lindqvist leads implant care here. She places single implants, sinus lifts and bone grafts, and performs full-arch surgery for patients replacing all their teeth. Many of her patients are professionals in their fifties and sixties who want a fixed result and a clear timeline. She splits her week between Carmel Valley and Carlsbad.

Dr. Benjamin Ortiz sees jaw surgery, sleep apnea and facial trauma patients here on Thursdays, which spares North County patients the trip into La Jolla for every visit. Orthodontists in Carmel Valley and Rancho Bernardo send him teenagers and adults whose bites need surgical correction. Students from Torrey Pines High and Canyon Crest Academy are frequent wisdom teeth patients with both surgeons.

Dr. Rafael Santos, our dentist anesthesiologist, provides general anesthesia on Tuesdays. That suits patients having full-arch surgery or longer jaw procedures who would rather sleep through them. The office is on the first floor with free parking just outside, and our team includes Mandarin and Russian speakers. Many patients combine a morning appointment with a walk at Torrey Pines afterward on consultation days.
