Quick links:

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.

Patient Review By Jacqueline Wong

My daughter had all 4 of her impacted wisdom teeth out recently and it was a very successful surgery. Dr. Chang Han is the BEST!!! From our first meeting at her consult to the post op surgery follow up he was excellent. He had a wonderful demeanor, knows how to connect with teenagers, and excellent follow up. I highly recommend Bergen Oral M. Surgery for your needs.

Patient Review By ChristineScaglione

My son had a great experience at Bergen oral Maxillofacial surgery! He was seen by Dr Diaz at the Franklin Lakes office. He had all four wisdom teeth extracted. I was so happy to learn that they are using patient’s own Platelet Rich Fibrin (Plasma) to pack into the sockets to promote healing. Everything was so well explained by the physician at the consult and then by the nurse, Dawn on the day of the procedure. All of the office staff we encountered were kind and professional. The written follow up instructions were excellent for the patient and caregiver to refer to. The patient also has website access to the post procedure care video that is viewed in the office before they are discharged. We appreciate the skill level and excellent care my son received at Bergen Oral.

Patient Review By Sharon Hanna

I had excellent care from Dr. Feuerstein and the staff at BOMS - Franklin Lakes on 6/30/25. They were very professional, and made me feel at ease. I had very little pain and minimal swelling after 4 wisdom teeth extractions. Dr. Feuerstein went above and beyond checking in on me the night after my surgery. I would highly recommend BOMS to all my family and friends! I will definitely be using them for any future oral surgeries! Thank you!

I had an excellent experience with my oral surgery at this practice. From the consultation to the follow-up text messages everything was handled with professionalism and care. Dr Feuerstein was incredibly skilled and made sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. The procedure went smoothly, and my recovery is going well. His assistant, Alison was kind, reassuring, and always available to answer questions. I highly recommend them if you need any oral surgery done—you’ll be in great hands!

Patient Review By Jeff Krautman

"Yesterday I had an impacted wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Diaz. Prior to having this procedure done I was greeted by the friendly Office staff and subsequently met Emily who is the Dental Assistant for Dr Diaz. She was friendly, professional and helped reduce my anxiety and stress as I was very stressed about this difficult extraction. Words alone cannot express my thanks and gratitude for Dr Diaz. He immediately put me at ease and his confidence and explanations throughout this most difficult procedure.helped me relax and stay still. Dr Diaz had soft music playing the entire time and I marveled that he quietly sang along which was not only unique but calmed me beyond words.His confidence and expertise exuded the room the entire time! I cannot tell you how difficult this extraction was and it took him less than 30 minutes much to my surprise! Over the last fifty years I have seen many Oral Surgeons but Dr Diaz is without a doubt the best ! It's been 24 hours after my Surgery and I feel 100% better following their after surgery protocol. I only took a total of 2 extra strength Tylenol and that's it! No soreness the following day and for that I am forever grateful. Thanks to Dr Diaz and the entire staff at Bergen Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery!"

Patient Review By Brenda Weiss

"Two teens had wisdom teeth removed by Dr Novelli and his team. He is patient and kind. Nursing staff is fantastic. Very kind to my very very nervous daughter. The Hackensack office is better set up for surgery than Ridgewood. If you have a choice for surgery location go to Westwood or Hackensack.

Patient Review By Josette Lucido Balestrieri

"As a parent, taking my nine-year-old child to an oral surgeon was an incredibly frightening experience. However, Dr. Mina Boulos and his team at Bergen Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery immediately put us at ease. They took such wonderful care of my son and made him feel completely comfortable throughout the entire visit. When I found out he needed an IV, I was honestly terrified — but the team handled it with such professionalism and compassion that it eased my fears. We walked in as strangers and left feeling like family. To any parent who may be anxious about their child’s oral surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Boulos and his team. The care and experience our son received were exceptional. In fact, my husband and I have decided to use Bergen Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for any of our future needs as well. We truly recommend this practice to all families looking for expert care delivered with kindness and heart.

Patient Review By Brianna Bascietto

Honestly, we always hear horror stories and see funny videos of people getting their wisdom teeth removed but even at 30 years old I couldn’t imagine having a better experience. Dr. Park truly made my procedure painless, anxiety free and easy. I went in, we talked for a few minutes (his kindness and bedside manor along with his gentle personality immediately made me feel at ease) they drew blood (painless) and then I was asleep. It literally felt like ten minutes and then I woke up and went to the recovery room where I snuggled up in a blanket until I was ready to go. I’ve never had a more pleasant dental visit let alone one that ended in an extraction! Two days post op and I have minimal swelling and absolutely no bruising. Safe to say if I ever need bother tooth pulled I won’t be seeing anyone other than Dr. Park. I can’t thank him and his team enough for doing such and extraordinary job !

Patient Review By Carol Lehman

Dr Diaz and his staff were friendly, kind and amazing! From the time I walked in till the time I walked out they walked me through everything! They are also very cutting edge! I have osteoporosis. Last June I had a reclast infusion to strengthen my bones. However, in 1% of people it can affect healing in the mouth. (Who knew?) So to help with the healing they drew my blood, put into a machine and injected into my tooth socket where they did the extraction.

Patient Review By Vera Kennedy

Great experience with BOM. The staff were professional and kind. The oral surgeon was excellent. He used stem cells from my own body to heal the area where he removed 4 teeth. I have very little pain 1 day post op. So impressed. Thank you all. I highly recommend them.

Patient Review By Jerica Esguerra

Both my daughter and son had their wisdom teeth removed at BOMS with Dr. Park. They each had a great experience. From the initial consultation to post-op care, Dr. Park clearly explained everything to us and the kids. The staff were also friendly, professional, and very supportive throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Dr. Park and his team. We’ll definitely be bringing our youngest son here for his wisdom teeth extraction next year.

Patient Review By Karen Cullinane

This entire office, including Dr. Boulos made this visit seamless and efficient. His dedication to patient care is completely evident in all interactions. My son’s developmental disabilities make him a difficult patient to work with, and the team at BOMS consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Wonderful to find an expert & amazing Doctor! Thank you for doing such a great job taking care of Dan. Regards, Karen & Bill Cullinane

Patient Review By Shannon Hassett

This was not our first time seeing Dr Novelli. He removed some teeth from my younger daughter two years ago. This past week he removed 4 impacted wisdom teeth. The entire office has been nothing but professional, courteous, explained everything to us and as for the procedure it went as well as wisdom teeth extractions can. Highly recommend this practice

Patient Review By Jun Park

"Posting this review 5-days post-op—had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out, 3 of them were impacted. Dr. Novelli was my surgeon. Him and his staff were exceptional from start to finish, from my first appointment to see him for the consultation, and to the day of the surgery—providing me with all the details about the procedure, and the instructions after the procedure. He told me there are newer techniques now that they use that helps the healing process post-surgery, compared to what the surgery was in the past. The day of the surgery, I had some anxiety about the whole thing, but after coming out and being currently on day 5 post-op, with minimal to almost no pain so far, Dr. Novelli has dispelled all my preconceived terror about having your wisdom teeth removed. Yeah, so wisdom teeth extraction, no big deal now I guess. Thank you Dr. Novelli and his team!"

Patient Review By Courtney Hollens

"My 15yr old son had all four of his wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Feuerstein. My son felt safe and comfortable and really liked the doctor immediately at the consultation. He was kind and funny, which I appreciated for my son. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. The procedure went smoothly and my son was sore but never in any pain. The staff was very kind as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Feuerstein and his practice...and so would my son.

"Absolutely amazing experience with Dr. Han, he is truly the very best. He is not only an excellent surgeon, but a caring human being. I went in for my wisdom teeth removal, got all 4 out. He took the time to explain the procedure and the post care instructions thoroughly( in english & spanish) and he was extremely professional, patient, knowledgeable, skillful and kind. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming and the place itself was very modern, clean and organized. I loved the atmosphere!

Patient Review By Sandra Bottge

Dr. Feuerstein and the staff at Bergen Oral were outstanding in their care of our adult special needs son, who needed all four wisdom teeth removed. After being turned away by other oral surgeons, we were incredibly grateful to find a team willing to understand and accommodate his unique needs. They allowed us to assist during his x-ray and collaborated closely with us to develop the best treatment plan. Their compassion, professionalism, and patience made a stressful situation so much easier. Highly recommended for anyone seeking specialized and thoughtful care.
