What if I don’t have my wisdom teeth removed as a teenager or young adult?

As wisdom teeth develop, the roots become longer and the jaw bone more dense. When it is necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth in your thirties, forties or beyond, the post-operative course can be prolonged and there is a higher complication rate. Treating these complications is often more difficult and less predictable than with a younger patient. Healing may be slower and the chance of infection can be increased. If your impacted wisdom teeth are not removed in your teenage years or early in your twenties and they are completely impacted in bone, it may be advisable to wait until a localized problem (such as cyst formation or localized gum disease and bone loss) develops. In general, you will heal faster, more predictably and have fewer complications if treated in your teens or early twenties.

Patient Review By Maria Calvelli

I have had dental issues which was finally resolved by Dr Novelli. He was very knowledgeable, professional, reassuring and excellent in every way. I have recommended him to my husband who have also had positive experience with Dr. Novelli. He is a great dentist. His assistant was kind caring and professional.
Thank you both for the excellent care I received.

Patient Review By Susan F

Dr. Park is the best oral surgeon. He did an amazing job extracting my tooth. It was quick and painless. Dr. Park explained every step of the procedure and he took the time to answer ALL my questions. He is a very caring Dr. who truly cares about his patients and their well being. He called me later in the day to see how I was feeling. I would highly recommend Dr. Park to anyone who needs an oral surgeon. Dr. Parks assistant Amina, was absolutely great at explaining all the post-op procedures for when I get home. Dr. Parks and his staff made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, I knew I was in good hands.

Patient Review By Sherri C

Dr. Park was a pleasure for a what should have been a not so pleasant visit. He was kind and thorough and explained every step as he performed them. He also took care of my mom and she feels the same way. Dr. Park is my choice for TOP DOC 2020! Thank you, Dr. Park and staff. Stay safe and keep up the good work!
