Our office specializes in comfortable, efficient Hoboken wisdom teeth removal that helps you avoid future dental complications. Our experienced team has successfully removed many wisdom teeth over the years, using techniques that put your comfort first. Our skillful wisdom teeth extraction will:

The best place for your career

In my opinion, there is no medical or dental practitioner out there that is more qualified and competent to perform extractions than an oral surgeon. And that comes even further into focus when it comes to wisdom teeth. In many general dental practices, wisdom teeth removal is often proposed and performed. 

Wisdom tooth removal is a specialty procedure that is best in the hands of a specialist, someone that does this every day for decades. Not that just performs an extraction as maybe 2% of the procedures they do within the realm of their practice. I'd say that treatment of wisdom teeth is easily 60% of what we do on a daily basis within our office.

When we meet patients for a consultation and we get referrals from many dentists from our local area, as well as outside of our area, just having been doing this for decades, the relationships and trust that we've developed in fellow healthcare practitioners, when I look at that referral, to me, that doesn't mean I automatically remove those four wisdom teeth. We perform a very thorough examination. We take the appropriate radiographs. 

If necessary, we take advanced imaging to further gain the knowledge of the person's anatomy and make clinical decisions on what's safe and what's the right procedure for the person in front of me. We see patients that come to us that have wisdom teeth that are fully erupted and their hygiene is good and I just encourage them to keep them clean and they can live happily ever after with those wisdom teeth with proper follow-up. We see patients in their late teens, recent high school graduates, people that are in college having wisdom tooth problems that once they return home, their family wants to bring them to the right place to have their wisdom teeth addressed and I think there's no better practice than you can visit and no better practitioner that you can visit to have that done.

Enjoy Comforting Amenities

Our caring team knows exactly how to make your wisdom teeth removal experience smooth and successful. We use precise techniques and proper sedation to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure.

During your wisdom teeth procedure, your comfort is our main focus. We start with effective numbing medication and offer soothing amenities to help you feel relaxed throughout the procedure. Our team goes the extra mile by providing soft pillows and warm, cozy blankets to ensure you feel at ease in the treatment chair.

We also offer noise-canceling headphones so you can listen to your favorite music or podcasts during treatment. These thoughtful touches, combined with our gentle approach and experienced care, help make your wisdom teeth removal as comfortable as possible. Patients often tell us they feel more relaxed than they expected.

Take Advantage of Sedation

For many patients, IV sedation is the perfect choice for wisdom teeth extraction. This safe and effective option helps you stay completely at ease during your procedure. The sedation is carefully monitored by our experienced team, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout treatment.

While under IV sedation, you'll feel peaceful and calm, with little to no memory of the procedure afterward. This type of sedation is an excellent choice for those who feel nervous about wisdom teeth surgery. It helps us restore your oral health in the most comfortable and stress-free way possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal

Why have wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in. By that point, your jaw may not have enough space for them to emerge properly. This can create overcrowding and pain. Sometimes, wisdom teeth are impacted or only partially emerge, which can make you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease if bacteria gets trapped there. Our specialist can let you know whether wisdom teeth removal is the best option for your dental health.

At what age should you have your wisdom teeth removed?

We recommend removing wisdom teeth before the age of 25 if possible. Before then, your tooth roots and bones are more flexible, which means a faster recovery. We use 3-D imaging to reveal problems like impacted wisdom teeth and teeth that are coming in sideways. If we see such complications, it's best to remove the wisdom teeth ASAP.

What is recovery like after wisdom teeth removal?

While you should feel much better within a day or two, it can take up to two weeks to fully recover. During this time you may experience mild discomfort and swelling. You can speed your recovery by avoiding smoking and alcohol and eating soft foods for the first few days. Rinsing gently with warm salt water also helps lessen gum tenderness and inflammation.
