I only have wonderful things to say about Encinitas Oral Surgery. I was searching for an oral surgeon in-network with my insurance to remove my four wisdom teeth, and I was lucky enough to find this top-notch practice through Google. The excellent reviews immediately caught my attention.
From the very beginning, I truly appreciated the care and attention I received in my first emails and phone calls with Susan. She is such a lovely and friendly person and answered all my questions and concerns with so much patience. That first interaction already gave me confidence that I was in good hands.
Dr. Seul demonstrated the same level of professionalism, care, and expertise throughout the process. The surgery was successful, and surprisingly, my recovery has been incredibly smooth — I experienced virtually no pain.
I’m very grateful for the entire team and highly recommend Encinitas Oral Surgery to anyone needing oral surgery. Thank you for such excellent care!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Saul and his office manager Susan and their incredible care. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and at ease. Susan has a calm, reassuring presence that immediately takes away any anxiety. Dr. Saul took the time to explain every step, answers questions patiently, and makes sure I am comfortable throughout the entire visit.
What truly stands out is his assurance and confidence — I felt that I am in very capable hands. His professionalism, gentle approach, and genuine concern for his patients make my initial appointment a positive experience. I’m so grateful to have found an oral surgeon / dental implants who combines expertise with such kindness and compassion. Highly recommended!

We had a very positive experience with Encinitas Oral Surgery for the removal of my son‘s wisdom teeth. From scheduling to researching insurance to the actual procedure and post care, everything was smooth, professional, and as easy as it could be. And, the staff is very friendly, which is always a good thing, especially when it involves dental care. We would absolutely recommend their office!

The staff at Encinitas Oral Surgery, from front desk to the operating rooms, is top-notch. Dr. Seul is a skilled oral surgeon and a very kind person. You're in good hands with him. He also personally follows up post-operation to make sure you're doing well. The only reason I didn't give EOS 5 stars is, if you don't have medical insurance to cover your surgery, the cost for their services is substantial. I've had a good number of extractions of individual teeth and the placement of dental implants. These services now exceed $6K per tooth (which, for me, always includes a bone graft at $1K+). And these charges do not include the implant crown which costs about $3K more. At EOS, you get high quality medical care...at a price.

About Encinitas Oral Surgery
Encinitas Oral Surgery is an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice located at 320 Santa Fe Drive, Suite 304 in Encinitas, California. The office serves patients from Encinitas, Carlsbad, Escondido, Fallbrook, Oceanside, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos and the rest of San Diego County. The practice focuses on the full scope of oral surgery, including dental implant surgery, bone grafting, sinus lifts, wisdom tooth removal, simple and complex tooth extractions, oral pathology and biopsy, exposure of impacted teeth, and pre-prosthetic surgery. Intravenous sedation and general anesthesia are offered in the office, and the surgical staff has received advanced education to assist with these procedures.
For patients considering dental implants, the practice describes implant placement as a team effort between the oral surgeon and the patient's restorative dentist. Dr. Seul performs the implant surgery, any initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting when needed, while the patient's own dentist fits and makes the final replacement teeth. The site notes that single stage implants can be placed, and that in some situations an implant can be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction to reduce the number of procedures. Options for patients missing all upper or lower teeth, including implant supported overdentures, are also described. The practice accepts CareCredit financing and provides patient education materials on implant costs, aftercare, and common implant questions.
