    About the Business

    Santa Monica Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was founded in 1975 and we are the oldest OMS practice in West Los Angeles. For over 40 years, our outpatient practice has resided in Santa Monica and our hospital privileges at Providence St. John's Health Center. Over the years, it has been our pleasure to treat patients with issues ranging from pathology of the jaws with subsequent reconstructive surgery, temporomandibular joint disease, dentoalveolar surgery, and of course, orthognathic surgery. Our founding partners were Drs. Rick Rutkowski and Bruce Sanders. A few years later Dr. John Given joined to make it a three surgeon practice. Together, they branded our practice, Santa Monica Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. In 1985, Dr. Ralph Buoncristiani joined, followed by Dr. Howard Park in 1999. In 2009, Dr. Richard Ting joined, followed by Dr. Gil Ivry in 2016. In July of 2018, Drs. Park, Ting and Ivry decided to add a fourth partner for the first time in the history of our practice, Dr. Jeffrey Tanner. Today, we are known as Santa Monica Center for Oral Surgery and Dental Implants. Different brand, same level of exceptional care. We are committed to providing an exceedingly positive experience for our patients, community and fellow healthcare professionals that exhibits integrity, compassion, honesty and teamwork. We look forward to meeting you!

      Santa Monica Center for Oral Surgery was excellent. Dr. Tanner, Rosa, and Anita were my team who conducted my wisdom teeth extraction. They were quick, comforting, and did a fantastic job. I was super nervous, but Dr. Tanner and Rosa especially eased any concerns I had. I was in and out the door within an hour, and the whole extraction itself only took ~25 minutes for 2 wisdoms. I was so impressed!

      I highlight recommend this office for any oral surgery needs. The team is top notch.

      I saw Dr. Rich Ting, and he was amazing. Patient, calming manner, smart, and competent. I regret having the dental emergency, but given that I did, I was in great hands with Dr. Ting. Everyone who assisted was professional and kindly educated me on the process. Extremely happy with the Center, Dr. Ting and the entire staff from start to finish. Highly recommend if you need the services.

      I recently had a dental implant at SM Oral Surgery and Dental Implant. Dr. Vadja and his wonderful team of assistants: Monique, Kanita and Jackie were all very gentle and considerate. I appreciated the running commentary on what was happening. The implant procedure went quite quickly and I've had very little pain or swelling. To top it off, the waiting room has a stunning view.

      Lifesaver for my wisdom teeth extraction, they didn't try to upsell you some BS that you don't really need. Was professional, fast, painless and efficient. My wisdom teeth extraction was barely felt !

      I was referred to this office recently by my dentist for a tooth extraction.

      Dr. Vajda was very professional & explained the details of the procedure. The procedure didn't take very long. He was very pleasant, as were Monque & Ed.

      The staff at the front desk were very understanding & professional.

      I called Ed several times with follow up questions & he was super patient, calm & reassuring.

      Kindly acknowledge Ed for the super employee that he is.

      All in all, a great experience for an unexpected dental procedure.

      Dr. Vajda was great! Explained the tooth extraction and implant in detail. Dr. Vajda's removal of what was left of my tooth was so quick! He was so nice during the procedure and eased my fear and nervousness. Jackie, Kanita and Isabelle were his assistants who assisted Dr. Vajda. They were awesome! This office is A+!

From the moment I walked through their doors, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, setting the stage for what would be a top-notch dental care journey.

      Dr. Jil B. Ivry MD. and his team, including his incredible assistants Rose, Audrie , and Monique, deserve high praise for their expertise, compassion, and commitment to delivering outstanding patient care.

The cleanliness and organization of the center were impressive, further reflecting the team's commitment to maintaining a high standard of care. Every precaution was taken to ensure a safe and comfortable environment, which was especially important during these challenging times.

      In conclusion, I highly recommend Santa Monica Center for Oral Surgery & Dental Implants to anyone in need of exceptional dental care. Dr. Jil B.

      I got an extraction of a molar than had broken off at the gum line.
      The consultation with Dr Park informed me of the options available.
      I felt very comfortable with the decision I made.
      The nurses that assisted Dr. Park, Rosa, Audie and Kamita, helping me read and understand the consent form, detailing with demonstration the post-operative care that I I was responsible for, comforting me with clear answers to my questions . The procedure was straightforward with no pain and a feeling that Dr ParkI was a highly skilled professional.
      About 10 years ago I had a multiple tooth extraction and implant by Dr Park. That work has passed the test of time!

      These guys do an amazing job. I have had two extractions here over the past few years and Avery and Ting gave made it a cakewalk. I got dry socket on the second (likely my fault getting cocky drinking from straws all week) and Avery packed it Ip with some clove tasting tissue and the pain went away immediately. They also ushered me back in the door quick and made it, once again, a cake walk. My whole life i have dreaded getting wisdom teeth out -- and for no real reason because of these dudes.
