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?
Listed services at Christensen Oral Surgery include Wisdom Teeth Removal and Oral Surgery. The full list is shown on this page.
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.

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!

Friendly, fast and efficient. In and out for surgery. Prepared me for all the possible complications so I didn't have any. Even got a call from Dr. Christensen himself to check on how I was doing in my recovery.

10/10 would recommend. The staff are all very nice and reassuring. The process for both the consultation and the surgery (wisdom teeth for me) were quick and painless. They are very easy to contact if you have any questions before or after the procedure. Very professional and efficient and I will be going to them again in the future if need be.

I had two impacted wisdoms removed today. It all happened so fast. I was nervous but their professionalism put me at ease. I was sedated for about 20 minutes but it seemed like two minutes! I give them 5+ stars. So happy with the service! Thank you! thank you! Post-op is also going well. I can’t wait to feel normal again. No pain!! Thank you Dr. Christensen for also following up with me after hours, you truly care about your patients. 😀

Had a wonderful experience here for my wisdom teeth removal! Staff was super friendly and helpful, process was SO easy and went smoothly. Very informative on what to expect and post care, had no problems after treatment. Dr. Christensen reached out night after procedure to check in (I was sleeping but a very nice gesture). Would recommend highly!

Dr Christensen is truly the best. Beyond his impressive expertise and skill, he is an incredible caregiver and person. He was thoughtful and reassuring, asking thoughtful questions and making me feel like he truly cared about me as a patient. The surgery went beautifully and the follow up from himself and the office continues to amaze me. Could not recommend Dr Christensen or his team more!
