Experience. Integrity. Personalized Care.
At Pinnacle Oral, Dental Implant, and Maxillofacial Surgery, we believe that exceptional care starts with experience, attention to detail, and a true commitment to our patients. As the last independently owned and self-directed oral surgery practice in the region, we are free from corporate influence, meaning our only priority is your health and well-being.
With nearly 40 years of experience, Dr. Sternlieb has dedicated his career to providing the highest level of surgical care while ensuring that every patient receives personalized attention—never rushed, never pressured. Unlike large, corporate-owned practices where staff turnover is high and efficiency is often prioritized over quality, our team has remained consistent and well-trained, with two of our staff members working alongside Dr. Sternlieb for nearly a decade. This stability ensures seamless, expert care from a team that knows you and your needs.
A Local Practice Rooted in Excellence
Dr. Sternlieb’s journey to practicing in the desert is a personal one. As a longtime resident, he understands the community and is deeply committed to providing patient-first care that puts trust, honesty, and quality above all else. Every procedure, from routine extractions to complex reconstructive surgeries, is performed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring minimal trauma, reduced complications, and optimal healing.
The Pinnacle Difference: Quality, Precision, and Innovation
At Pinnacle, we set ourselves apart by maintaining the highest standards of sterile technique and investing in only the most well-researched, proven dental implant systems—unlike some practices that opt for lower-cost alternatives with questionable longevity. Additionally, we utilize Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF), a groundbreaking technique developed in France that accelerates healing and promotes full bone regeneration. This innovative method has cut healing time nearly in half, providing patients with faster recovery and stronger long-term results.
When you choose Pinnacle Oral Surgery, you’re choosing a practice that values your health over profits, expertise over efficiency quotas, and genuine care over corporate mandates. We take the time to carefully assess your health history, plan each procedure with precision, and ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable every step of the way.
Experience the difference of truly patient-centered care.
