Our Practice

Advanced surgical care in a calm, supportive setting

Oral surgery can feel overwhelming, and we understand that. That’s why every part of your visit is designed to help you feel informed, comfortable, and supported, from your first phone call to your follow-up care.

Before treatment, we take time to explain what to expect, answer your questions, and review sedation options based on your needs and comfort level. Our goal is to make your experience feel calm, clear, and personal.

Located along the Sacramento River, our office offers peaceful views that many patients say help ease their nerves. As one recent Google review shared: “All anxiety was eased by oral surgeon, staff and scenery.”

You will find us at 316 Knollcrest Drive, just off I-5 and Highway 44, minutes from Anderson, Shasta Lake, Palo Cedro, and Cottonwood.

What You Can Expect

How we practice

Clear answers before treatment

You will understand your diagnosis, treatment options, anesthesia plan, and estimated costs before anything begins, because feeling informed is part of feeling comfortable.

Comfort and safety combined

Nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia are provided in office by doctors certified in BLS, ACLS, PALS, and ATLS.

3D Planning

CBCT imaging, intra-oral scanning, and in-house 3D printing let us plan surgical care digitally and carry out that plan with precision.

Two surgeons. One standard of care

Dr. Burlingame and Dr. Suarez collaborate on treatment planning while keeping your care personal and consistent, so you can feel confident knowing who is guiding your treatment.

The Team Behind Your Care

Support you can feel from start to finish

Oral surgery care involves more than the procedure itself. Our surgical assistants and front-office team help guide your experience from scheduling and insurance questions to sedation monitoring and post-op check-ins, so you feel supported before, during, and after your visit.

Giving back

Care extends beyond the office. Our team is proud to support the community we call home; from visiting local classrooms to teach kids about oral health to partnering with organizations that make a meaningful difference throughout the North State.

That commitment runs through both doctors personally. Dr. Suarez has spent years extending access to care for underserved patients, service work that reaches as far as rural Alaska.
