SoCal Oral Surgery (Craig C. Thiede DDS)

Oral surgery isn’t the kind of thing most people plan for—until they need it. In Tustin, SoCal Oral Surgery (Craig C. Thiede DDS) handles everything from wisdom teeth extractions to dental implants, bone grafting, and corrective jaw procedures. The practice sits just off Newport Avenue, tucked into a professional suite that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. A quick search pulls up a Google rating of 4.2 from 5 reviews—not a massive sample size, but a decent signal for those weighing options in the area.

This part of Tustin blends medical offices with low-key retail, the kind of strip where you might grab a sandwich after an appointment or kill time at a nearby café. Oral surgery clinics don’t usually inspire enthusiasm, but they’re a necessity when the issue is impacted teeth, facial trauma, or pre-dental implant prep. The focus here is on procedures that require more than a general dentist can offer; think sedation options, complex extractions, or reconstructive work after an injury.

Finding the place is simpler with a map—it’s at 13522 Newport Ave Ste. #109, a few blocks from the 5 freeway. Parking in these plaza-style complexes can be hit or miss, but the trade-off is avoiding the clinical sprawl of a hospital campus. For anyone mapping out their route, the directions online pinpoint the suite number, which isn’t always obvious from the street.

Questions about recovery timelines or insurance? The front desk fields those at (714) 730-6767. And if you’re comparing providers, five reviews won’t tell the whole story—but they’re a start, especially when the alternatives are a 20-minute drive away.
