About this office

Oral & facial surgery in Escondido

Escondido opened in 2021 on East Valley Parkway, a few blocks from Grape Day Park, Grand Avenue and the California Center for the Arts. The Escondido Transit Center is close by, and the 15 and the 78 are each a few minutes away. Patients come from San Marcos, Valley Center, Ramona, Rancho Bernardo, Poway and Hidden Meadows.

Dr. David Kim removes wisdom teeth and difficult teeth, places implants and handles emergency oral surgery. He keeps weekday openings for infections and broken teeth, which matters in an area where many patients would otherwise end up in an emergency room. Students from Escondido, San Pasqual and Orange Glen High see him for wisdom teeth, as do Cal State San Marcos students.

Dr. Victoria Sato places implants and sinus lifts and performs full-arch surgery. She splits her week between Escondido and Temecula and is well known to denture wearers in the area who want a fixed alternative. She takes time to explain fixed and removable options side by side and is careful to keep the plan within the budget you set.

Both surgeons provide IV sedation with continuous monitoring. For patients who need general anesthesia, we schedule surgery at our Carlsbad office with a dentist anesthesiologist and keep your consultation and follow-ups here. Every member of our front desk speaks Spanish, and the office accepts Denti-Cal for patients under 21.

Dr. Kim removed my wisdom teeth and did a good job. The front desk was friendly and the quote was accurate. The waiting room was a bit crowded on a Friday morning, but care was excellent.

Fifteen years in dentures. Dr. Sato explained everything in plain language and the front desk helped my husband in Spanish. I left with fixed teeth the same day. Corn on the cob this summer felt like a miracle.

Woke up with my face swollen from an infected tooth. Called at 8 and Dr. Kim saw me before lunch. He drained it, took the tooth out and explained the antibiotics. Called me that night too.
