About Scottsdale Surgical Arts
Scottsdale Surgical Arts provides dental care on Hayden Road in the Central Scottsdale area of Scottsdale, Arizona. 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.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Dr Wahlstrom and staff are very caring and supportive and explain everything thoroughly. I had a great experience.
Highest expertise, quality and care! The team is completely integrated to provide the best results in a professional manner (and fun too!)!
Nice staff - very friendly and upbeat .
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr Wahlstrom and everyone I’ve interacted with in that office. I had had a few consultations at other practices but felt that each only presented their preferred methods, which I understand, but I wanted to know all of my options before having two teeth removed and possibly two implants done. I was told by other providers that removing my back molar would jeopardize the one below it and that I would need a root canal or implant. Dr Wahlstrom said that there was enough overlap that he wasn’t worried, plus fact that I was religious about my clear retainers would help to prevent that as well. I also needed an implant done on another tooth and initially found him because he does the more inert ceramic implants but he explained to me that they can be a bit brittle and wanted me to know that he would still do it but that it could have complications and because I grind pretty badly, we ultimately decided on titanium. At the end of the consultation I didn’t feel pressured or rushed, I felt informed and confident in our game plan and got my surgery on books immediately. The day of, they took me back right on time, talked me through everything as they prepped me for anesthesia, and about 45 minutes later I was done and going over everything with the doctor. Unfortunately he wasn’t too thrilled with the implant site and decided to forgo it at that time and just do the bone graft so that it could create a more solid foundation for the implant. While I’m not terribly excited for a second procedure, I really respect that he did what was best for me and the longevity/integrity of my future implant. I know it’s easy to get psyched out when it comes to dental work but they do everything to put you at ease here and’s I couldn’t recommend them more! Let me be the horrible warning not to put off dental work; get in to see them ASAP ❤️
Dr. Gassmann and his outstanding clinical staff instilled so much confidence with me it's beyond words. I went in to my (major) oral surgery with almost no anxiety and every expectation of a successful outcome. As I knew it would be, everything was absolutely perfect! I was so thrilled with the wonderful care I received I can't rave about Scottsdale Surgical Arts enough. The front office staff is excellent too! Scottsdale Surgical Arts is second to none, and I couldn't endorse them more enthusiastically!
I came here to get my wisdom teeth out and the entire experience from the initial consultation, to the surgery itself, to the follow up appointment was excellent. Dr Gassmann and his team are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! They were all super kind and willing to answer/help with any questions or concerns I had. It was overall a very pleasant experience. Thank you so much to the entire team here!
We had an excellent experience with Dr. Wahlstrom. My son had all four wisdom teeth removed , and the care was truly exceptional. Dr. Wahlstrom even came in after hours to personally check on him, which means the world to us as parents. Recovery was smoother than we ever expected - very little swelling and minimal pain. We felt well informed, cared for, and confident throughout the entire process. I’m incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Dr. Wahlstrom to any family.
Absolutely the best experience! Dr. Wahlstrom and his staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They got my daughter in for emergency surgery within 24 hours of her referral. Dr. Wahlstrom explained the entire procedure thoroughly to put us at ease and even called afterward to check on her recovery. The staff was equally wonderful, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. This is the only office I would trust for oral surgery we couldn't have asked for better care! Thank you!
