College Area · Symptom guide
Wisdom teeth most often flare in your late teens and early twenties — which is exactly the College Area / SDSU crowd. We are a short hop west on El Cajon Blvd or University Ave, we work with student budgets and cash pricing, and we will tell you honestly whether the tooth needs to come out or just needs watching.

From the SDSU campus area, head west on El Cajon Blvd or University Ave toward City Heights. Continue west on University Ave past College Ave; our office is between 52nd and 54th Streets on the south side, next to Vien Dong Supermarket. The drive is typically 10-15 minutes depending on traffic at the College Ave intersection. From the Rolando area east of College Ave, the drive is closer to 8-10 minutes.

Our office at 5296 University Ave (Suite I) has free street parking along University Ave and 53rd Street, plus the shared lot for Vien Dong Supermarket next door. Wheelchair-accessible entry and ground-floor treatment rooms.
