Wisdom teeth, on the brightside
A board-certified oral surgeon. Transparent pricing from your pano scan. Post-op care that doesn't end the moment you leave the chair.
- IV Sedation in Office
- Recovery Handled In-House
- Quotes Within 1 Business Day
Most offices won't quote you a price until you're in the chair.
We will. Send your panoramic X-ray—from your dentist, an imaging center, or our office—and within one business day you'll have a written, itemized estimate. Extraction, sedation, follow-ups, every line accounted for.
No surprise add-ons on procedure day. The number you sign for is the number you saw last week.
Many general dentists pull teeth. A board-eligible oral and maxillofacial surgeon trains for years in a hospital surgical residency to handle the cases dentists refer out—impacted wisdom teeth, IV anesthesia, jaw and facial procedures. Same chair. Same surgeon. Every time.
When your dentist is the right fit
- Fully erupted teeth with straightforward roots
- Local anesthesia is sufficient and comfortable for the patient
- No bleeding disorders, anticoagulants, or significant medical complexity
- Routine extractions you can fold into a regular visit
- An established relationship with someone who already knows your mouth
Most extractions don't need a specialist. Continuity of care matters when the case fits their scope or complications arise.
When a specialist is the right fit
- Impacted wisdom teeth, especially near nerves, sinuses, or requiring bone removal
- IV sedation or general anesthesia, administered safely in our office
- Anxiety, sensory sensitivity, autism, or other special-needs considerations
- Medical complexity: cardiac conditions, bleeding disorders, anticoagulants, diabetes
- Patients who'd rather be fully asleep, which is common for all four wisdom teeth at once
Wisdom teeth and complex extractions are what we do, every day. Not a service squeezed between cleanings.

Same surgeon, same office for every check-in. A direct line for the first week — because most questions can't wait until business hours.
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?
It depends on how many teeth, the level of impaction, and the type of sedation. Range for all four wisdom teeth with IV sedation in our area is typically $1,400 – $2,800 out of pocket, often less with insurance. We won't make you guess—send a pano, or come in for a scan, and we'll send a real number.
Will I be asleep for it?
For all four wisdom teeth, almost always yes. We use IV sedation administered in-office by the same surgeon doing the procedure—you'll fall asleep, wake up done, and remember none of it. Local anesthesia or oral sedation are options for simpler single extractions.
When can my teen get their wisdom teeth out?
Late high school through college is common—once roots are partly formed but before they fully anchor into the jaw, recovery tends to be easier. We'll review the pano and tell you whether it's the right window or worth waiting another year.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients are back to school or desk work in 3–5 days. Soft food for about a week, no straws, no athletic activity for 7–10 days. We schedule a check-in around day 7 and stay on call through full healing.
Do you take insurance?
Yes—most major dental and medical plans. We'll verify benefits before procedure day and apply them to your written estimate, so the out-of-pocket number you see is the number you'll pay.
What if I don't have a pano scan yet?
Not a problem. We can take one in our office during a brief consult, or you can request a copy from your general dentist—most will email it within a day. The free quote includes the pano if we take it ourselves.
