Dr. Steven Paul: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

Dr. Steven Paul, affectionately known by his patients as Dr. P, grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. Watching his father practice compassionate dentistry sparked an early fascination with the human body, leading him to study the skeletal and musculoskeletal systems even as a child.

He pursued his undergraduate studies in Integrative and Organismal Biology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. From there, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) at the UCLA School of Dentistry, graduating at the top of his class. Driven by a deep interest in oral surgery, he continued his education at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School to earn his Doctor of Medicine (M.D.). He subsequently completed a rigorous General Surgery Internship alongside an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency.

With over 23 years of clinical experience, Dr. Paul brings exceptional skill to complex oral surgery and implant dentistry. Throughout his career, he has successfully completed more than 44,000 surgeries and placed over 9,500 dental implants, including metal-free zirconia options. His extensive training enables him to handle traumatic facial injuries, correct severe craniofacial deformities, and perform advanced procedures like complicated wisdom teeth extractions, sinus lifts, bone grafting, and tumor or cyst removals. He also specializes in full-mouth rehabilitation, such as the All-on-4 method, utilizing customized sedation and anesthesia protocols to ensure maximum patient comfort.

Beyond conventional surgical methods, Dr. Paul integrates a biological and holistic philosophy into his practice. He focuses on whole-body wellness by employing minimally invasive, biocompatible techniques. To accelerate tissue healing, lower inflammation, and manage infection, he utilizes advanced treatments like medical-grade ozone therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and antimicrobial irrigation.

When treating compromised jawbone health and dental cavitations, he combines meticulous surgical cleaning with regenerative therapies to encourage natural detoxification and bone repair. Dr. Paul evaluates the complete health profile of his patients, taking into account nutrition, airway function, bite alignment, and dental material compatibility. This comprehensive focus addresses both localized disease and systemic inflammation, promoting long-term oral stability, immune balance, and overall wellness.

While studying at UCLA, Dr. Paul met his wife, Jennette. Together, they have navigated their professional careers and raised a family of five children. Outside the surgical center, he is an avid foodie who loves discovering new culinary experiences while traveling. He also stays active through outdoor adventures with his family, enjoying camping, hiking, whitewater rafting, snorkeling, tennis, and pickleball.
