Clear, upfront pricing

Know your cost before treatment.

We only accept a few insurances, so we keep pricing simple and in writing. Payment is due at time of service.

One example from our pricing

$1,375

Four wisdom teeth with IV “twilight sleep” sedation. Our out-of-pocket cash pricing is often more affordable than using dental insurance.

What we do

Extractions, done by a specialist in extractions.

Wisdom teeth and tooth extractions are all we do. Every extraction is performed by Dr. Rivero, who has limited his practice to exodontia since 2012.

Tooth extraction

Removal of painful, broken, or unsalvageable teeth — fast relief, with aftercare instructions to heal well.

Wisdom tooth removal

Impacted and painful wisdom teeth removed in-office, including all four in one visit when appropriate.

Same-day treatment

Same-day care for patients with local anesthesia and/or nitrous oxide. In pain today? Call in the morning.

Sedation options

Nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV conscious “twilight sleep” sedation. Oral and IV sedation need a consultation first.

CBCT 3D imaging

State-of-the-art CBCT imaging in the office, so the plan for your extraction is made with a full 3D view.

CGF advanced healing

Concentrated growth factors (CGF) to support advanced healing after your extraction.

How a visit works

Three steps, no runaround.

  1. 1

    Call to book

    Book directly by calling (619) 877-0124. There is no online booking form — the office takes your call and finds you a time.

  2. 2

    Consult first for sedation

    Local anesthesia and nitrous can often be treated the same day. Oral or IV moderate sedation needs a consultation appointment before treatment.

  3. 3

    Know your cost up front

    Clear pricing before treatment starts, and payment due at time of service. Cash, credit card, or Medi-Cal Dental.

Meet Dr. Rivero

One dentist. One focus.

All extractions are performed by Dr. Rivero, a general dentist who has limited his practice to exodontia — the art and science of tooth extraction — since 2012.

No associates, no rotating providers, no general checkups on the side. The clinic does one thing, and the doctor who does it is the doctor you see.

  • Practice limited to exodontia since 2012
  • Independently owned — not a chain
  • City Heights, San Diego
