Put Your Smile In Hands You Can Trust
Find Relief From Wisdom Teeth
From a nagging ache in the back of your mouth, to full-blown pain, wisdom teeth can cause more trouble than they’re worth. On top of that, putting off removing them can put your smile at risk of impaction, infection, and painful alignment issues.
We understand the pain, inconvenience, and complications that problematic wisdom teeth can cause and we know exactly how to help.
How Are You Protecting Your Smile
Immediate Pain Relief
Wisdom teeth trying to push through tight spaces cause constant pressure, facial aching, and sore gums. Extracting these teeth removes the source of chronic tension so you can chew, speak, and go through your day comfortably.
Preventing Misalignment
When incoming wisdom teeth lack space to grow, they push neighboring teeth out of alignment. Early removal protects your natural bite pattern and prevents damage to previous orthodontic work.
Reducing Infection Risk
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create trapped spaces where bacteria and food collect easily. Removal eliminates these hard to clean areas, preventing painful conditions like pericoronitis, which is a bacterial infection and inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue.
Protecting Surrounding Jawbone
Impacted teeth can form cysts, which are sacs filled with fluid that develop around the tooth root. Removing impacted wisdom teeth early protects your jawbone and nearby tooth roots from permanent structural damage.

When Wisdom Teeth Become a Problem
Wisdom teeth often begin to emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. When there isn't enough room for them to erupt properly, they can become impacted, increasing the risk of pain, infection, damage to neighboring teeth, and other oral health concerns.
At Advanced Oral Specialty Group, Dr. Alan Meltzer and Dr. Wael Isleem use advanced imaging and precise surgical techniques to determine whether removal is the best option for your long-term oral health. If an extraction is recommended, your treatment is carefully planned to make the procedure as comfortable and predictable as possible.
