I had all my wisdom teeth out here several years ago and I don't think I would recommend. It was expensive - for 2 fully in the mouth and 2 embedded in the gum teeth they charged $4K with IV anesthesia and no separate anesthesiologist.
My extraction appointment was mid-afternoon and the staff "forgot" to call in painkillers - by the time we got home and my boyfriend went to pick them up at the pharmacy at 5pm and they were not there, the office was closed. I was in terrible pain overnight.
The oral surgeon was overall fine but I ended up with nerve damage - half my tongue and molars on one side were numb and he just seemed puzzled like "this was an uncomplicated case dunno how that could have happened". On the plus side the couple follow up appointments where they tried to figure out the nerve damage were not billed. It took 3 years for the numbness to return 90% of normal sensation.
I know there's a chance of nerve damage with extractions but again, I was categorized as "uncomplicated". But it was the failure with the painkillers that really makes me anti-recommend this place.

My nightmare of an experience began when I was referred here because of my last appointment when my dentist showed me the x-ray image of the cyst caused by my wisdom tooth. My dentist said it was a dentigerous cyst. Then she referred me to Song oral surgery. So I went there and they did additional x-rays (that I paid for mind you, remember this, it will be important later.) Then Dr. Mashkoor showed me the cyst x-ray and she said my last dentist didn't know what cyst this was and she assured me it could be even worse, a more dangerous cyst so encouraged that I get a biopsy/surgery. Then I was scared of course, because she said it could be very dangerous and turn into something worse long term. So I decided I should just do the biopsy. I agreed and paid around 284 dollars for the x-ray/consultation and another 169 for the biopsy. Fast forward a week later, I came back to the office after I suffered, and burned through my insurance money (total costs around 2k). Then I found out it was dentigerous and that I didn't need a biopsy at all. Then I asked for the wisdom tooth removal then they said anesthesia would be done by a specialist and it was out of network. Even though I was referred here and they show up as in Guardian network, for anesthesia, it's $2000 and not in network. Then to top it all off, I wanted to get my medical scans like x rays that I already paid for. AND THEN they charged me 22 dollars for them! On top of the 200+ I already paid. Just the worst experience ever! I bled a lot and did a surgery I didn't need when I could have had my wisdom tooth removed this WHOLE TIME! I wasted my money on nothing I still have my cyst, I still need my wisdom tooth removed, and this is 2000 dollars later!!!! >:( And the worst part is I can't even get help from them as they are out of network. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!

Great service, but being lied to about contacting my insurance provider is far from and made sure I'm not coming back.
