South Shore Oral Surgery Associates

I was referred here by my sister to get my wisdom teeth removed (all 4!) I was extremely nervous because of horror stories I’ve heard from others (not about this establishment, but other ones)
When I came in for the consult, with Dr. Wilson (I believe that’s his name), he was extremely helpful and friendly. He explained everything to me, and also, noticing how anxious and panicky I was, he prescribed me Valium for before the procedure.
The day of the surgery, I took the valium and my sister brought me in… by the time I got there, the Valium already was doing the trick so I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be. They put the IV in me, and a few seconds later I was KO’d. Next thing I know, I was awake with gauze in my mouth and my sister by my side. No complications, no hassle.
The follow up appointment a week later was a breeze as well. I had to get some stitching out and Dr Wilson and I chatted briefly about my recovery process, sports, steaks, haha. I definitely would recommend this place to any & everyone.
Great service, Great atmosphere!

I want to thank the staff at South Shore Oral Surgery for the excellent care I received this past week. I had four impacted wisdom teeth that I needed removed. I was extremely hesitant to have this procedure done because I’m in my late 20’s. Dr. Wilson and his staff treated me with patience, kindness and compassion. As a nurse, I know how important these qualities are when I take care of my own patients. The office is clean and quiet. The day of my surgery I was very nervous, all my questions were answered. My appointment was at 9 am and I was back in my own bed by 1130 am. I had very little pain and minimal swelling the day of and day after my surgery. I can’t believe how easy the surgery went. If you need oral surgery– go see Dr. Wilson!!! You’re mouth will thank you!

We had an excellent experience at So Shore Oral Surgery. Staff is pleasant and professional, and Dr. Wilson was great; he explained everything and the wisdom teeth surgery went very smoothly. I would highly recommend this practice.

I can’t recommend this place enough! I had a few
teeth pulled including an impacted wisdom tooth and its been over 24 hours and i haven’t felt one bit of pain yet. Slight discomfort when the novocaine wore off hours after the surgery but after taking pain meds i was fine and slept like a baby. I was pretty nervous about getting the surgery but now i feel stupid for putting it off so long. The tooth aches i would occasionally get pre-​surgery were much more painful than anything i’ve felt post. One second i was in the chair having an IV put in and the next i woke up and felt fine.
Every step of the way the staff was extremely competent and knowledgable but even more importantly, they were all very pleasant to talk to. They make everything so easy whether it was scheduling the appointment, going over my health/​dental insurance options or explaining what work i was going to have done. Lastly, they made me feel very comfortable while I was being prepped for surgery and that was the most stressful part for me. That last gesture is why I decided to write such a long and detailed review.
They deserve your business and you deserve their care.

This place sucks! I would give it 0 if I could.
First Dr Gu broke my wisdom teeth (my teeth was straight, should have been the easiest to remove), then he charged me for deep sedation (what I received was local anesthesia)!
And there is more, after over 3 months calling their office, I still can’t get my money back. The billing lady is terrible! Left her voice mail. Never got any reply! I kept calling and calling. She is either not there or blablabla («we have process, you won’t get the money until…). In a word, it’s so hard to get my money back, even if it was not my mistake.
Terrible doctor and terrible billing office!
Stay away from this place. It will give you headache.

South Shore Oral Surgery is the BEST if you have have surgery. I mean — lets face it no one really WANTS to have oral surgery. But if you HAVE to have it you want to go to a place where the people are nice and the doctors are generous with the meds. I’ve had three procedures done here and every single time –it’s been fine. These folks here are as good as it gets. And it’s a good thing that no one remembers anything isn’t it? I’m thrilled to pieces that they make their medicinal cocktail just so that it works in such a way to erase the last hour of your life. It’s perfect. As much as an Oral Surgery place can– this place rocks!

I needed to get my tooth pulled because I didnt want to pay over $ 2000 for a root canal. I’ve never had a needle or anything but Dr Wilson and the two girls that assisted him were great. I went in there so scared and they were very comforting. I thought the healing process would kill but it was completely painless! I would definitely recommend south shore oral surgery. Every person who works here is amazing. Im going to call tomorrow and see if they do actual checkups and not just surgery because I would love this to be my permanent dentist.

Dr Gu is amazing went in got my bottom wisdom teeth removed and felt no pain the next day

So when one of my wisdom teeth began growing in, it came with a good amount of pain, and gum ripping.
I called my Health Insurance Provider and they gave me names of oral surgeons which would be in my network. I should have known to check Unilocal first because upon calling these places I got a variety of stories ranging from «We fired our oral surgeon» (literally said that to me in a 30 second conversation.. .) to «We can see you in 3 weeks.» 3 weeks!!! Are you joking? I need these babies out STAT!
Doing what I should have in the first place, I came to Unilocal.I found South Shore Oral Surgery to have good reviews so I gave them a call. They quickly verified my health insurance would cover the procedure, came up with an estimate, and booked me for an initial visit to meet the dr and for him to examine me.
The first visit went well, and was with Dr. Gu. They showed me a video on wisdom teeth and why it is wise to have them removed (pun intended). The appointment lasted about 15mins. He gave me a script for Motrin and booked me for surgery early the next week to have my two upper teeth removed (about a 4 day waiting time as opposed to the 3 – 4 weeks I was quoted elsewhere)
The procedure itself was fairly painless, the aftermath wasn’t terrible; I only took one day off of work although I did have a bit of swelling and a black and blue cheek. I had only liquids and mashed/​blended/​jellied foods for 4 days and was back on an almost normal diet about 5 days after.
2 months later I am totally healed and so far no sign of bottom wisdom teeth, but god forbid they do come in, I will definitely use Dr. Gu again. Thank you South Shore Oral Surgery!!!

This place is great to go to for wisdom teeth extraction. I had a consultation at first where I watched a short video about wisdom teeth, got my x-​rays checked, and then Dr. Gu decided which teeth to extract (2 bottom ones), and gave me necessary prescriptions to take the day before the surgery (antibiotic and anti-​inflammatory pills). They were very flexible with scheduling for an appointment and I was able to get an appointment done during the week of my spring break so I wouldn’t have to miss any classes.
The day before the surgery, I pigged out on some Thai food and stopped eating at midnight as they had suggested. I took an anti-​inflammatory pill and went to bed. I had my surgery at 9am and I was SO nervous from all the horror stories that other people went through. The staff were extremely nice and comforting as I cringed when they were hooking me up to machines and sticking an IV in my arm (I HATE NEEDLES). They asked me if I had any final questions before I went to bed and they thoroughly answered them. A minute after I asked «When am I going to fall asleep?», I was knocked out.
The next thing I remembered, I was in the recovery room with my sister and mom and I had a bunch of gauze in my mouth. I could not talk and incoherently tried to text my sister some questions to ask the dental assistant. The dentist gave me another prescription for pain meds to use as needed. My whole jaw was numb and I went home to sleep it off for a bit. 6 hours later, my cheeks weren’t numb anymore, but my chin and bottom lip still were. I drank some warm soup, popped a pain killer, and went to bed for a few hours. Finally, my chin and bottom lip weren’t numb anymore, but now my leftside of my jaw and the area around my lymph nodes are feeling sore. Hopefully it’ll go away soon. I’m still going to work tomorrow morning so I guess the pain isn’t TOO bad.
Overall, it was a great experience (as far as wisdom teeth extraction experiences can be) and hopefully the healing process won’t be too bad either.

Highly Recommend! I visited the Quincy office for my wisdom teeth consultation and follow up and had my surgery in the Dorchester location. Dr. Wilson put me at ease and the whole experience was a breeze. The staff was so nice too. If u need those wisdom teeth out, this is a great place to go.
Check out my full review posted under the Dorchester office:

I’ve always hated going to the dentist.
So when I was told by Gentle Dental in Quincy «If you want to keep your teeth, you have to take all your wisdom teeth out»…I went for another consultation else where.
My friend recommended South Shore Oral Surgeon and I called to schedule a consultation. My consultation was with Dr. Gu. He was very nice and so was the rest of the staff. After checking with my insurance, I made my appointment to have my wisdom teeth extraction on ¹⁄₂₇.
I was put out and felt nor remember anything! its great! Its been a day and I feel absolutely no pain and have not taken any pain medication — i’m only taking the anti-​biotics.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but my wisdom teeth extraction has been one of my best dental experience.
