Wisdom teeth removal is a specialized dental procedure that involves the extraction of third molars, which are the final set of teeth to develop, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. Due to evolutionary changes in jaw size, most people don’t have sufficient space to accommodate these late-developing teeth, leading to potential complications such as impaction, infection, crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth.
At Alta Dental Group, our approach to wisdom teeth removal emphasizes patient comfort and safety while using minimally invasive techniques that promote faster healing. Our comprehensive care includes detailed pre-operative assessment using advanced imaging to visualize the exact position of wisdom teeth and surrounding structures, allowing for precise surgical planning. What sets our practice apart is our unique ability to offer multiple levels of sedation and anesthesia administered by our board-certified dental anesthesiologist, Dr. Marco Savittieri.
Proactive removal of problematic wisdom teeth prevents more serious dental issues and is typically recommended when X-rays reveal potential problems, even before symptoms appear. Our experienced surgical team provides expert care throughout the entire process, from initial evaluation through recovery, ensuring optimal outcomes with minimal discomfort.
At Alta Dental Group, wisdom teeth extractions are performed by our experienced surgical team with specialized expertise in oral surgery and sedation dentistry. Dr. Rashad Altawaty brings his comprehensive training in complex extractions to each procedure, ensuring thorough removal while preserving surrounding tissues. His detailed approach to surgical planning, combined with advanced techniques, results in more predictable outcomes and smoother recoveries for our patients.
For wisdom teeth extractions requiring specialized periodontal management, Dr. Victor Perez, our board-certified periodontist, provides advanced surgical expertise, particularly for complex impactions or cases involving gum tissue complications. This specialist-level care ensures optimal tissue healing following extraction.
What truly sets our wisdom teeth removal services apart is the involvement of Dr. Marco Savittieri, our board-certified dental anesthesiologist. His specialized training allows us to offer a full spectrum of sedation options—from nitrous oxide to IV sedation and general anesthesia—customized to each patient’s needs and anxiety level. This exceptional capability means even patients with severe dental anxiety or complex wisdom teeth cases can experience comfortable, stress-free treatment without referral to an outside facility.
Our surgical assistants complete this exceptional team, bringing specialized experience in oral surgery and post-operative care to ensure smooth procedures and optimal healing. This collaborative approach with all specialists under one roof creates a seamless experience for patients seeking the highest standard of care for wisdom teeth removal.
Your wisdom teeth removal journey at Alta Dental Group begins with a comprehensive consultation and evaluation. During this initial visit, our team examines your mouth and takes detailed 3D imaging to visualize the exact position of your wisdom teeth, surrounding nerves, sinuses, and bone structure. This thorough assessment allows us to identify potential complications and develop a precise surgical plan tailored to your specific case. We’ll discuss our findings with you, explain the recommended approach, and address any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
Pre-operative planning includes a detailed discussion of your sedation and anesthesia options with Dr. Savittieri, our dental anesthesiologist. Based on your preference, anxiety level, and the complexity of your case, we’ll recommend the most appropriate comfort approach ranging from local anesthesia with nitrous oxide to IV sedation or general anesthesia. We’ll also provide clear pre-operative instructions regarding eating, drinking, and medication adjustments to ensure your safety during anesthesia.
On the day of your procedure, our experienced team creates a calm, supportive environment to minimize anxiety. Your chosen form of sedation or anesthesia is administered by Dr. Savittieri, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. Our surgeons use precise, minimally invasive techniques to remove your wisdom teeth while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. The extraction sites are thoroughly cleaned and may receive specialized treatments such as PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) therapy to enhance healing before being sutured closed.
Recovery support begins immediately following your procedure. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, appropriate pain management prescriptions, and emergency contact information. Our team schedules a follow-up appointment to monitor your healing progress and remove sutures if necessary. Throughout your recovery, we remain available to address any concerns and provide guidance for optimal healing.
