Bay Park Oral Surgeon
Bay Park is one of those neighborhoods where people put down roots and stay — and when something comes up that needs a specialist, they want someone they can trust. McGann Oral Surgery is about 10 minutes from Bay Park on Front Street. Dr. Grant McGann is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who has been taking care of patients from this part of the city since 2008.
Oral Surgery, Done Right — Close to Home
Bay Park sits right in the middle of everything — Mission Bay to the west, Tecolote Canyon to the north, easy freeway access in every direction. Getting to the Front Street office is a straight shot down I-5. No long commute, no unfamiliar part of the city.
What you’ll find when you get here is a practice that operates differently from what most Bay Park residents have experienced at a general dentist. Dr. McGann does one thing — oral surgery — and has done it full-time for over 16 years.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that preserves the jawbone underneath and functions exactly like a natural tooth. Dr. McGann uses CT-guided surgical planning and in-office 3D imaging for every implant case — technology that most practices don’t have on-site — which means smaller incisions, less bone grafting in many cases, and a recovery most patients describe as easier than they expected.
Full osseointegration takes 3 to 6 months, but most of that time you won’t feel like you’re recovering.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth that are impacted, partially erupted, or growing in at an angle don’t get better on their own. Dr. McGann evaluates each tooth with in-office X-rays and CT imaging before recommending removal — and performs extractions under local anesthesia or IV sedation depending on what makes sense for your case.
Most Bay Park patients are back to normal within a week. Recovery instructions, gauze, and a pharmacy prescription go home with you the same day.
Tooth Extractions
Not every tooth can be saved. When decay, fracture, or gum disease has progressed too far, a clean surgical extraction with a clear plan for what comes next is the right call. Dr. McGann performs extractions with minimal tissue trauma — and if you want to discuss implant replacement at the same appointment, that conversation is always available.
Bay Park patients don't have to go far for specialist-level oral surgery. McGann Oral Surgery is about 10 minutes from the neighborhood — and offers IV sedation, CT-guided implant planning, and board-certified surgical care entirely in-office. No hospital. No referral required.
What Makes This Practice Different
Bay Park residents tend to be particular about who they trust with their health. That makes sense — and it’s exactly the kind of scrutiny Dr. McGann’s practice holds up to.
He completed a 4-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C. and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — a credential held by fewer than half of practicing oral surgeons in the U.S. He’s been at the same Front Street office since 2008, with the same core team around him.
A few specifics worth knowing:
- IV sedation available in-office — no need to go to a hospital or surgical center for sedation
- CT-guided implant planning — every case mapped in detail before surgery begins
- Dr. McGann calls you personally after surgery — every patient, every time
- The team has been together since 2008 — Rachel, Natalia, and Enrique know this practice inside out
Does McGann Oral Surgery Accept Insurance?
Yes. The practice is in-network with most major PPO dental plans — Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of CA, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, United Healthcare, and others. For certain procedures like jaw surgery or sleep apnea treatment, medical insurance often applies instead.
Enrique handles insurance and billing for every patient before any procedure — no surprises on the back end. See the full list of insurance plans we accept.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is McGann Oral Surgery from Bay Park?
About 10 minutes by car. Take I-5 south from Morena Boulevard or West Tecolote Road and exit at Washington Street or Front Street. The office is at 3861 Front Street, CA 92103. Parking is available on-site.
Do I need a referral to come in?
No. Many Bay Park patients call us directly after their dentist mentions a tooth that needs to come out or wisdom teeth that should be evaluated. You can schedule a consultation without a referral anytime.
Is sedation available for nervous patients?
Yes — and this is one of the things that sets this practice apart. Dr. McGann is licensed to administer IV sedation in-office. Most dental practices in the Bay Park and Mission Bay area can’t offer this. If you want to be fully asleep for your procedure, that option is available. Learn more about anesthesia options.
I had a tooth pulled somewhere else. Can Dr. McGann still place an implant?
Yes. If you’ve had a tooth removed at another practice, Dr. McGann can evaluate your bone structure and walk you through whether an implant is a good fit and what the timeline would look like.
How do I get to the office from Bay Park?
Head south on Morena Boulevard to I-5 south, then exit at Washington Street. Turn left and follow Washington Street to Front Street. The office is at 3861 Front Street, CA 92103. Get directions.
