Lasting Relief
Removing an impacted or infected tooth ends the recurring pain and swelling that keeps returning without treatment month after month.
Could a single procedure end months of discomfort? Oral surgery can bring relief, restore function, and transform your smile. Our office provides a wide range of surgical procedures in West Hollywood, CA, from routine wisdom tooth removal to dental implant placement.

Oral surgery covers the procedures that treat the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures when a surgical approach is required. Our dentist uses X-rays to assess the soft and bony structures around the area in question, then discusses the pros and cons of each viable treatment before recommending surgery.

Real Patients, Real Stories
I reached out to Dr. Rivas regarding the extraction of my number 16 wisdom tooth. My previous dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who wanted to extract the other three wisdom teeth even though I am not experiencing any issues and during that time I never had any consultative discussions with the surgeon. I connected with Dr. Rivas and she was thorough and transparent when speaking over the phone and she shared that she would be able to extract my tooth. During the procedure, she was extremely caring, asked if I was numbed properly, and checked in with me frequently during the procedure. I did not feel a thing and I was shocked on how fast she was able to successfully extract my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Rivas and her staff and I commend them for their professionalism and caring nature. I live in the Inland Empire and will be driving to West Hollywood since Dr. Rivas will be my dentist moving forward.
Thank you to Weho Dental studio and Dr Rivas for helping me get over my fear of going to the dentist. Felt immediately at home with her and her lovely staff. From the front desk to the hygienist, I really felt like they genuinely cared about my dental health, rather than some of the other offices I’ve been to that immediately tried to push tons of treatments. Dr Rivas and her staff took care of me, happy to call this my dental home. Thank you for making fillings and a crown a pleasant experience!
Dr. Rivas was awesome! Staff are great and friendly. I was surprised that my filling took less than an hour and I did not feel any inch of pain. The procedure was so smooth and appreciate that Dr. Lisa walked me through to every step. Highly recommended!
