Welcome to Our Practice

At Jeffrey D. Smith, DDS, we’re proud to serve patients throughout Santa Cruz County and the surrounding Monterey Bay communities. When you visit our office, you won’t be passed from person to person or rushed through your appointment. Instead, you’ll meet directly with Dr. Jeffrey D. Smith, a trusted oral surgeon in Santa Cruz, CA, who takes the time to sit down with you, understand your concerns, and thoroughly answer every question.

What Sets Us Apart

Many larger oral surgery offices divide responsibilities across multiple staff members, which can leave patients feeling shuffled and uncertain. At Jeffrey D. Smith, DDS, we take a different approach. Our small, close-knit team works like a well-orchestrated ensemble, communicating seamlessly behind the scenes so every interaction feels smooth and personal.

We see one patient at a time, giving you our full attention. We don’t juggle multiple rooms or rush between appointments. Instead, we focus entirely on you, your care, and ensuring your experience is as calm and reassuring as possible. With Dr. Smith and our team on your side, you’ll always get clear answers and consistent guidance. 

Our Specialized Services

As a specialty oral surgery practice, we provide advanced procedures that require precision and expertise, including but not limited to:

  • Dental Implants — Restoring function and confidence with advanced implant solutions
  • Tooth Extractions — Safe, comfortable procedures to protect your oral health
  • Bone Grafting — Preparing your mouth for successful restorations
  • Oral Pathology — Detecting and diagnosing oral tissue changes early
  • Pre-Prosthetic Surgery — Ensuring your dentures or prosthetics fit comfortably and function properly
  • Anesthesia — Full anesthesia for a safe, stress-free surgical experience

Our IV general anesthesia differs from typical sedation dentistry. Instead of mild oral medications, you’re fully asleep and comfortable during your procedure so you can receive precise care with complete peace of mind.
