I just had multiple wisdom teeth extracted with Dr. Chi and her wonderful staff. Had a great experience all the way around. This was a dental emergency and they were able to get me in quickly for both consultation and procedure. Staff was professional and really nice, and the office was clean and modern. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Chi and her team.

Dr. Chi is a first rate oral surgeon. I had a major infection deep in one of my upper teeth that required removal, a bone graft, some reconstruction work and an implant. The whole process took several months as we had to wait for things to heal before proceeding to the next step. Dr. Chi and her staff were consummate professionals throughout the process. Dr. Chi did a fabulous job. She was meticulous, detail oriented and very thorough. All in all, I was extremely happy with the work done.

On December 10th I was devastated to learn that a root canal procedure was not possible and I would face extraction of a cracked tooth. My dentist Eric Cantor called and recommended Dr. Chi. I contacted her office and was scheduled for a consultation on December 17th. Having waited weeks to see the endodontist and then undergo the failed root canal, this was a wonderful first step. I was thoroughly impressed by her evaluation. She explained everything on the X-ray and informed me of my options. She accommodated my request to celebrate my birthday before undergoing the surgery, which occurred on January 14th. Dr. Chi's surgical skills are unparalleled, as is her compassion. She turned a very depressing situation into hope for the future. I was also impressed by the staff and office. Bravo, and thank you very much!

My experience was just as what everyone is saying in the reviews about Dr. Chi -- everything was as smooth as I could've hoped for and I felt completely comfortable. My post operation recovery was also better than expected, much thanks to Dr. Chi!

Recently had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted. I was really scared going into it but all the staff made me feel comfortable. The extraction went great and they even called to check on how I was doing or if I had any post op questions a day after surgery.

Center City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, also operating under the CARE Esthetics name, is a Philadelphia practice located on South Street offering a full range of dental implant and bone grafting surgeries, along with wisdom teeth removal and facial esthetic treatments. The practice is led by Dr. Kai-Zu Chi, who focuses her surgical work on dental implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and pre-prosthetic surgery, in addition to treating oral lesions and performing orthodontic surgical procedures. Patients considering implants can expect care built around a diagnostic setup that includes CBCT imaging, and the option of intravenous sedation administered in the outpatient office setting for a more comfortable surgical experience.
The practice sits in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, serving patients throughout the surrounding neighborhoods who are looking for a single, experienced surgeon to handle the surgical side of implant treatment, from initial extractions through bone grafting and implant placement. Dr. Chi opened her solo practice in the city in 2016 and has continued to concentrate on implant and reconstructive procedures alongside minimally invasive facial rejuvenation services, giving patients the option to address both function and appearance under one roof. For anyone weighing dental implants, the practice's combination of oral surgery training, sedation options, and modern imaging equipment is worth discussing directly with the office to understand which implant approach fits their specific needs.
Dr. Kai-Zu Chi, DMD, MSEd, MD, is a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a Diplomat of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, graduating with honors, and completed her general surgery internship and oral and maxillofacial surgery residency as chief resident at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, where she also earned her MD degree from Jefferson Medical College. She has practiced in Philadelphia since 2016 and has been recognized by colleagues as a Top Oral Surgeon in Philadelphia in multiple years.
