Dr. Daniel A. Mobati, DDS

Oral surgery practices in Oakland don’t always cluster near the hills of Piedmont, but this one sits just off MacArthur Boulevard, where the neighborhood’s mix of mid-century homes and professional offices makes it easy to overlook. The area’s low-key vibe suits the specialty—no flashy signage, just a standard storefront for a practice handling extractions, dental implants, and corrective jaw procedures. People tend to find it when they’re referred for something beyond general dentistry, like impacted wisdom teeth or reconstructive work after trauma.

Dr. Daniel A. Mobati, DDS operates out of 1411 E 31st St, a stretch where the sidewalks are wide but the parking spots demand patience. The address places it closer to the Laurel District’s boundary than to downtown, which means fewer crowds but also fewer cafés to kill time in beforehand. That’s fine—oral surgery isn’t the kind of errand you linger over. Still, the location is practical for anyone coming from the 580 or the eastern stretches of the city, where dental specialists can be sparse.

Booking a consultation here usually starts with a call to (510) 437-4800, whether it’s for a pre-surgical assessment or a second opinion on a complicated case. They handle the usual scope of oral maxillofacial work, from bone grafts to cyst removals, but the phone line is also where you’d confirm whether they’re taking new patients for less urgent matters. Some practices in the area limit their caseload to surgeries only, so it’s worth asking upfront if you’re unsure whether your issue fits their focus.

The easiest way to scope out the route is by pulling up directions here, especially if you’re coming from outside the East Bay. The building itself won’t stand out, but that’s typical for medical offices in this part of town.
