I was honestly very scared to go through a dental implant and bone grafting procedure, but Dr. Oleksy made the entire experience much easier than I expected.
From the beginning, Dr. Oleksy explained everything clearly and gave me confidence that I was in good hands. The surgery itself was much quicker than I imagined, and the entire process felt very smooth.
The results have been excellent, and my recovery went well. Looking back, I realize this is definitely the type of procedure you want done by a trusted and experienced oral surgeon, and Dr. Olensky absolutely fits that description. The entire team was very professional, organized, and supportive.
I highly recommend Dr. Olensky. He did a great job and I’m very grateful for his care and expertise.

Dr. Havas was great. Very willing to describe everything as we were preparing to do the procedure. It was an intense extraction that had to be sectioned and removed in piece. Not fun at all but he made it as quick and painless as possible. The most remarkable part was the complete lack of pain the next day and onward. Highly recommended.

I started with a tooth extraction done by Dr Oleksy with a local amnestic. The Dr was very skillful and reassuring that there would not be pain just pressure. He was correct and I felt very relieved. He was not only skillful but very reassuring during the procedure I look forward to receiving the implant. I am very happy I decided on this Center for my Procedure

I don't make reviews often but Dr. Havaas and his team did an exceptional job with my 4-tooth wisdom tooth removal. I was shocked that day 1 post op and beyond, I had little to no pain at all and I could hardly believe it, so much so that I thought something went wrong. Any very tooth aches and tightness was relieved by their medication, picked up at my pharmacy of choice. Their front desk and finance team was efficient and made things run smoothly and fast for patients. Even when I had questions about post-op care and dieting, I was able to have a quick education and guidance over the phone, ensuring that the healing processes goes smoothly prior to my follow up appointment a week later. 5 stars, amazing surgery results and amazing team!

Could not recommend Center for Oral & Facial Surgery and Dr. Havas more!! I was very nervous going in for a dental extraction and implant, and was able to do both in the same day. The staff and nurses made me feel extremely safe and comfortable. Communication was clear and scheduling was easy. I was able to get scheduled for consultation and procedure completed within a week. Highly recommend. Very professional, friendly, clean and easy.

About Center for Oral & Facial Surgery
Center for Oral & Facial Surgery is an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice serving San Diego from its office on Walnut Avenue, with a second office in El Cajon. The practice offers the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including dental implants, wisdom teeth extractions, tooth extractions, corrective jaw surgery, bone grafting, facial trauma care, and oral pathology. For patients considering dental implants, the surgeons place small titanium posts that bond with the jawbone to create a strong foundation for replacement teeth designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. When bone quality or volume is a concern, the practice offers rebuilding options such as sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, socket preservation, and zygomatic implants.
For most patients, implant placement involves only one surgical procedure, and in many cases an implant can be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction, reducing the number of visits. The surgeons perform in-office implant surgery in a hospital style operating suite, and most implant and bone grafting procedures can be done with local anesthesia, with or without nitrous oxide or intravenous sedation. The staff is trained to assist with intravenous sedation, patients are continuously monitored during and after surgery, and general anesthesia provided by a board certified anesthesiologist is available in the facilities. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and new patients can get started by calling or completing the appointment request form.
