About Christensen Oral Surgery

Based on East Brown Road in the Groves area of Mesa, Arizona, Christensen Oral Surgery is a dental practice serving the area. Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front, since they arrive last and often into a jaw with no room left. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — one that erupts cleanly and can be kept clean is often left alone.

Oral surgery covers procedures beyond routine treatment — surgical extractions including impacted wisdom teeth, implant placement, and bone grafting among the more common ones. The distinguishing feature is generally that tissue is opened and closed as part of the procedure, rather than treated at the surface.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

What services does Christensen Oral Surgery offer?

How long does it take to recover from oral surgery?
It depends on the procedure, but soft tissue usually settles over one to two weeks, with the first few days the most uncomfortable. Bone healing underneath continues considerably longer than the surface suggests.
Will I be put to sleep for oral surgery?
Not necessarily. Many oral surgery procedures are done under local anaesthetic alone, sometimes with sedation added for comfort. Full general anaesthesia is reserved for more extensive or complex cases.
What age is best to have wisdom teeth taken out?
Late teens to early twenties is often easier, because the roots are less fully formed and bone is more forgiving, so healing tends to be quicker. Removal is still routinely done later when there is a reason for it.

We had a great experience with Dr. Christensen when my son had his wisdom teeth removed. He was wonderful, and I really appreciated that he took the time to check on my son afterward. It meant a lot to me as a parent and showed how much he cares about his patients. We’re very thankful for the great care and would definitely recommend Dr. Christensen!

Had a great experience with Dr Christensen's office. Everyone was great to work with, including the good doctor. Afterwards, I was shocked when I can a personal call from Dr Christensen to check on me. Who does that?! He does. And he invited me to use his cell number if I had any questions. I put that to the test a couple of times for some minor issues, and he resolved my concerns quickly over text.

Amazing teamwork from the front desk check-in to the MAs and nurses to of course Dr. Christensen. Very attentive team and professional. Office is very clean and they were able to get my impacted wisdom tooth taken care of in less than a week from the consultation. Thank you !

I thought the team was exceptional. They made me feel very comfortable. Also the surgeon himself helped me to my car with another team member. I’ve never had that happen but I thought is was very sweet and personable. 10/10 I would definitely recommend them

I took my son here a few weeks ago to get his wisdom teeth removed. We were both nervous about the procedure. But the staff and Dr. Christensen made us feel welcomed the moment we came in. Not only did the staff help my son to our vehicle after the procedure but Dr. Christensen did as well. That really impressed the both of us. I definitely recommend Christensen Oral Surgery. They are the best. Also Dr. Christensen went above and beyond to call to see how my son was that evening. Hands down the BEST!!!!

Amazing experience! Dr. Christensen and his entire team made the whole process comfortable and stress-free. My wisdom tooth surgery on 6/29 was smooth and virtually painless, and my recovery has been comfortable and easier than I expected. I especially appreciated that Dr. Christensen personally called me at 9:30 PM the same evening to check on my recovery. That level of care and dedication really stood out. Thank you, Dr. Christensen and the entire team—I highly recommend this office!
