Dr. Ashley Sunstrum

West Des Moines blends quiet residential streets with pockets of specialized care, where medical offices sit alongside family-run cafes. Dr. Ashley Sunstrum operates here as an oral surgeon, handling cases that general dentists often refer—wisdom tooth extractions, dental implants, corrective jaw procedures, and biopsies. The practice focuses on surgical precision without the hospital setting, offering a middle ground for patients who need more than a routine cleaning but less than an operating room.

Offices like this one tend to cluster near major roads; 1469 29th St is no exception, tucked between a pharmacy and a physical therapy clinic. Oral surgery, as a category, demands both technical skill and clear communication—patients arrive with questions about recovery timelines, anesthesia options, and insurance coverage. The field also intersects with orthodontics, treating impacted canines or preparing mouths for braces. Such procedures often require multiple visits, so proximity to home or work becomes a practical consideration.

Those needing an appointment can call (515) 223-6529; the same number works for post-op follow-ups or urgent concerns. For directions, a map is available here. Local referrals keep the schedule steady, but new patients are typically seen within a few weeks—assuming the case isn’t an emergency.
