I was referred to Dr Theide by my dentist and I am so grateful. The office staff (all of them) are fabulous and amazing. The office is extremely nice and Dr Theide is absolutely the best! I had implant surgery, it was completely painless. Couple of days after, I came home to a beautiful floral arrangement and a kind note of thanks from Dr Theide and my dentist who referred me. I’m so thankful to know I’m in great hands!

Dr Thiede and his staff are amazing! Very kind, caring, helpful, honest, and professional. My implant went very well. I have to have another one unfortunately, but I trust that Dr Thiede will do another great job! Highly recommend this office.

I took a few days after my oral surgery to gather my thoughts before writing this review about my experience with Dr. Thiede—and honestly, I’m so glad I did, because now I can truly express how grateful I am. First things first: I’m not easy to please. I’ve had some pretty severe dental trauma in my past, so walking into SoCal was nerve-wracking to say the least. But the moment Dr. Thiede administered the local anesthesia, I knew I was in excellent hands. I was bracing myself for something intense—maybe a jab to the jaw or pressure on the bone—but… I felt nothing. Not even a pinch. It was so gentle and smooth that I kept thinking, “Wait, that’s it?” Throughout the whole procedure, Dr. Thiede checked on me constantly. There were even a few moments where I caught myself giggling—partly from nerves, but mostly because I couldn’t believe how easy he made it. Every time he moved to a different area, I’d say, “That’s it?” and he’d smile and say yes, complimenting me on being a great patient. But let’s be real—he’s just an exceptional surgeon who made it easy to be a good patient. I have zero complaints, and my healing process has been incredibly smooth. I genuinely thank God for leading me to Dr. Thiede. One more thing I really appreciate: SoCal is a gorgeous, prestigious clinic. A lot of the clients there looked like they stepped out of a luxury magazine—but the environment was completely welcoming and inclusive. Dr. Thiede provides phenomenal care to everyone, no judgment, no hierarchy—just heart, skill, and excellence. P.S. Thank you for calling to check on me after my procedure. I sincerely appreciate you all at SoCal. Nurse Michelle, thank you for being Dr. Thiede right hand lady at my bedside because your support was extremely comforting as well🙏🏽

Referred here by my general dentist to get my wisdom teeth extracted. I first came in for my consultation and shortly made my appointment for extractions. The staff and Dr. Thiede were very helpful and kind. As for the surgery, I don’t remember anything due to the general anesthesia, which is amazing! Post operative care has been going smoothly. One last thing, I paid for the procedure all out of pocket and they were very generous with deducting some costs. So greatful for the nice experience!

Dr Thiede, his assistant and staff is awesome and considerate. I was having my 4 wisdom teeth removed, no anesthesia. They asked questions to make sure I was comfortable and if I did experience pain, he stopped immediately and handle the situation with such kindness. Definitely would highly recommend his office. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

SoCal Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, located in Tustin, California, provides dental implant treatment, including All-on-4 and full-arch options, for patients who need teeth replaced due to missing or damaged teeth. The practice is an oral and maxillofacial surgery office, so implant placement is done alongside other surgical services such as extractions, jaw surgery, and general anesthesia. The team says its approach is to get to know each patient, their concerns, and their oral health goals before recommending treatment.
For patients considering dental implants, the practice uses minimally invasive techniques and offers sedation options, including IV sedation, depending on the procedure and each patient's case. The office is set up to work with patients who feel anxious about surgery, aiming to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Patients can request an appointment online or by phone, and the practice also accepts referrals from other dentists.
The practice's clinical team includes Dr. Craig C. Thiede and Dr. Naman Desai. Dr. Thiede earned his dental degree from the New York University School of Dentistry in 1988 and completed postgraduate training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at New York University Woodhull Hospital. Dr. Desai earned his DDS at the UCLA School of Dentistry, completed the six-year Oral Surgery program at LAC-USC County Hospital and the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, and earned his MD from the Keck School of Medicine of USC during his training. Both surgeons hold hospital privileges at St. Joseph's Hospital Orange, and Dr. Thiede also holds privileges at CHOC and St. Jude Hospital.
