Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?

Unfortunately, the average mouth can only hold 28 teeth comfortably and the presence of any additional teeth can become quite painful. Wisdom teeth have a tendency to come in sideways, remain trapped beneath the gum or bone, or in other poorly positioned scenarios — often disrupting the natural alignment of the other teeth. If they are partially exposed, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and possibly cause an infection resulting in stiffness, swelling and pain. Ouch.

To avoid causing permanent damage to your smile and serious oral health complications, it is best to have wisdom teeth extracted.

The use of modern anesthetic techniques makes the surgery virtually pain-free. The majority of procedures are performed in one of our NJ offices. Most surgery is completed and the patient is discharged from the office within an hour. Analgesics are prescribed to minimize post-operative discomfort. Hospitalization for the surgery on an outpatient or inpatient basis is available when medically necessary.

Watch this short video featuring Dr. Diamond to learn more about why wisdom teeth removal is typically recommended.

If you have questions or concerns, our team is here for you.  We welcome you to make an appointment for a consultation at any of our four Oral Surgery offices in North Jersey.

Understanding Wisdom Tooth Extraction Surgery

Recovery From Wisdom Tooth Removal

Recovery is usually rapid with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days following the procedure. Serious complications following wisdom tooth extraction are infrequent; however, discussion of potential complications is made (during your initial consultation) so that an informed consent for surgery is obtained.

Watch the video below featuring Dr. Han offering tips for a successful and speedy recovery. He’ll review post-surgery best practices including what to eat, what not to do, what to expect, and how to accelerate your healing.

I saw Dr. Park for my wisdom tooth extraction. Everyone in the office was fantastic and friendly. Dr. Park explained the whole procedure step by step so I didn’t feel like I was going in blind, his assistant working with him the day of the surgery was absolutely lovely as well and I felt comfortable the whole time I was there. I cannot not recommend this practice enough.

Patient Review By Carol Sanchez

I went this week to my first Wisdom Tooth surgery with fear and the worst expectations possible, but left Bergen Oral feeling surprisingly relieved, informed, equipped and with a good overall experience. I need to extract my other pair of wisdom teeth and will definitely come back to Bergen Oral. Dr. Diaz and the lovely and informative assistant were the best! Thanks for exceeding my expectations.

Patient Review By Hellen Mite

At first, I was very scared because it was my first surgery. But I was in the hands of excellent professionals. Dr. Boulos was my doctor, he explained to me every detail of my surgery. I am on my second day of recovery from wisdom tooth extraction, and I'm not even swollen. From the beginning, the nurse was always very sweet with me. I highly recommend this place 100%.

Patient Review By Lynda Macaluso

All of the staff were professional and caring. Dr. Diaz met with me before the tooth extraction and was wonderful! Needless to say, I was a bit nervous, but he put me at ease and completely explained what he would be doing at the appointment. Dr. Diaz and Dawn, were both exceptional and I would easily refer friends and family to this facility. I was also impressed that Dr. Diaz called me the evening of the procedure to check on my condition. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Dr. Han and his staff are some of the best around! I had just my procedure done yesterday, which were my bottom wisdom teeth and they did an amazing job! Currently, it is the following day and I have little to no discomfort whatsoever. Everyone there was very respectful and very helpful, I would recommend this facility - not to mention, it is one of the most aesthetically pleasing offices I've ever seen.
