MOSA Oral Maxillofacial & Dental Implant Surgery is launching its new Second Chance program! The program will restore the smile of a deserving local resident through full-arch restoration. If you live in or around the Monterey and Salinas area, and have poor oral health that is impacting your quality of life, you could be the perfect candidate for our Second Chance program.
Dental implants are an appealing replacement technique used to restore missing teeth. Dental implants are a versatile treatment option for replacement teeth. They can restore a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, act as anchors for a bridge, or even support a full-arch of new teeth. Unlike many other options, their unique design allows patients to maintain the health of their mouth over time.
Patients receive dental implants for many reasons including severe tooth decay, damage to teeth beneath the surface of the gums, and any facial trauma that requires a tooth extraction or knocks teeth out of place. At MOSA Oral Maxillofacial & Dental Implant Surgery, we provide a wide variety of restorative solutions and believe that dental implants are the best option for maintaining the long-term health of the mouth.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of molars to grow in with the rest of our permanent teeth. When there isn't enough room for them to grow into the correct position, they often become impacted or infected during development and require removal. It is usually best to remove wisdom teeth early, generally in the mid to late teens, to avoid the complications they can cause.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to grow into our dental arch. As the final and third set of molars at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth do not usually have enough room to grow properly, which can result in a number of oral health problems. Oral surgeons and dental professionals everywhere agree that if wisdom teeth need to be removed, it is best to do so in the mid to late teens.

I was referred to MOSA Oral Maxillofacial & Dental by my dentist. I had two wisdom teeth next to each other on the upper left side of my mouth that were broken. They were a serious inconvenience. Especially when I kept biting my tongue with their sharp edges. I went to MOSA Oral Maxillofacial & Dental and my experience was the far better than I expected. I followed the easy instructions of Dr. Andre Lemothe and his staff and the teeth are gone. I experienced no pain during or after the surgery. Very professional and courteous staff. I will definitely be returning to their office for anymore oral

At MOSA, you are always treated with great care. All of the staff, from check in to check out, make sure you have all your questions answered and that you feel comfortable. Dr. Lloyd makes sure to soothe any anxiety you may have regarding your procedure and always checks in after a procedure to make sure all is well.

Took my daughter in for dental surgery and had a positive experience. She is usually very nervous and gets anxious when going to the dentist at a young age. The team was very friendly and accommodating, was able to keep her calm and very supportive trough out the whole experience.
Appreciate the honesty from Dr. Lloyd on the day of the surgery by recommending holding off on part of the original surgery while still monitoringthe situation. This left me at ease that my daughter was in good hands and the MOSA team was truly looking out for her well-being. Could not be more appreciative of all their

My experience was easy, since I only remember sitting in the chair and being put under the anesthetic. The rest was painless. The after surgery instructions were detailed, and easy to follow.
If there was a glitch it was letting my wife stand outside the exit door waiting for me for about 30 minutes after initially telling her I would be right out. Other than that, everything was fine.

Amazing staff, amazing doctors. I needed my wisdom teeth and one extra molar extracted, sat down for a consultation with Doctor Lewis and he explained how things would be done from start to finish, answered any questions I had and had me scheduled for my procedure the next day. Very minimal pain after the procedure and during the recovery. I would gladly recommend them to anyone!

Took my 10 year old son to get two extractions done and I have to say he had a great experience.
The doc was fast and efficient, my son had no anxiety or issues at all. His healing process was excellent, with no problems.
I’m glad he had a great experience as it will help with his way of feeling for dental work in his future.
I would give a 10 star if I could!

I had my wisdom teeth removed with MOSA and the whole experience went as smoothly as I could imagine. The staff and surgeon made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. Excellent job on the surgery with great aftercare and a follow up appointment to make sure I was healing correctly. I would recommend to anyone needing wisdom teeth removal or other procedures.
