In addition to the wide range of surgical procedures our practice offers, you can also visit us for wisdom teeth removal. Your wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop and emerge in your mouth. They typically appear during the late teens or early 20s. While not all wisdom teeth cause trouble, they can lead to alignment issues and increase your risk for oral health problems.
If you need to have your third molars removed, you can expect gentle extraction techniques, even for impacted wisdom teeth. Your dentist’s approach includes:
No matter what treatment you are visiting us for, there is no reason to feel nervous. We have sedation to help you feel relaxed, and you can also block out the sounds of our equipment with our noise-canceling headphones.

There are several circumstances that might require oral surgery. If you or your loved one has a badly damaged or diseased tooth, it may need removal. Likewise, wisdom teeth often cause problems as they emerge and need to be extracted. Other procedures like bone grafts, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentations prepare for treatments such as dental implants. Cosmetic gum surgery will repair receded gums and help them heal properly.
For a healthy recovery, it’s best to ease slowly into exercise. You’ll want to avoid sports, workouts, and most other physical activity for the first 24 hours. Doing too much too soon can impede healing. For example, it can interfere with blood clotting. We recommend taking it easy for at least a few days.
The type of oral surgery you have will ultimately determine how much discomfort you feel, but rest assured our goal is always to provide the most comfortable dental care we can. For most of the oral surgery procedures we perform, over-the-counter pain relievers will take care of any discomfort. If needed, your dentist can prescribe something stronger to help you through the healing process.
