Meet Dr. Brownridge
Dr. George W. Brownridge II, with over 35 years of experience, throughout his career has continually provided optimal oral and maxillofacial surgical care to his patients and the professional community as a whole. In 1994, he and his family moved to Chico where he established his current Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical Practice. In this practice, he is committed to providing exceptional specialty care emphasizing on wisdom teeth removal, dental extractions, dental implants and reconstruction, orthognathic-corrective jaw surgery, oral pathology-diagnosis and biopsy, traumatic ora-facial injuries and repair, and outpatient general anesthesia.
As part of his commitment to the greater Chico community and his profession, Dr. Brownridge has not only developed a modern state-of-the-art outpatient surgical treatment center but additionally has enlisted and nurtures a very compassionate, professional competent and friendly team of administrative and surgical staff/personnel.
Dr. Brownridge earned his D.D.S. degree at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 1974 and subsequently served in the United States Air Force as an expanded General Practice Resident from 1974-1977.

Currently, he is an active member of the Enloe Medical Staff and routinely participates in the Facial Trauma Panel. This also provides him access to a inpatient or same day surgical facility for those patients that require more extensive medical management or hospitalization for their procedures.
