Wisdom teeth removal isn’t always a simple procedure, and finding the right professional to guide you through it is essential. Many patients find themselves wondering whether they should go to a general dentist or seek out an oral surgeon for the job. The truth is, while a dentist can handle basic extractions, an oral surgeon brings a higher level of experience to more complex cases, ensuring your comfort and care before, during, and after the procedure. Trusting an oral surgeon for your wisdom teeth removal can lead to smoother recovery, fewer complications, and a more comfortable experience overall.

The Top Reasons You Should Have Your Wisdom Teeth Removed By an Oral Surgeon
While not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, some may experience symptoms indicating it is time to remove them. There are several reasons why having your wisdom teeth taken out by a skilled oral surgeon is the best option for patients. Whether you’re dealing with pain, risk of infection, or the potential for long-term dental issues, getting a professional opinion and timely removal can save you from more complicated procedures down the road.
Some of the top reasons you should have your wisdom teeth removal performed by an oral surgeon include the following:
Specialization
At Warren Oral Surgery, our surgeons specialize in wisdom tooth extractions. They perform this procedure routinely, giving them a greater degree of experience than a general dentist who may only occasionally remove wisdom teeth.
Formal Training
Our oral surgeons completed formal training that prepared them for all types of wisdom teeth removals, even more complicated cases. After dental school, oral surgeons complete a minimum of four years in hospital-based surgical residency programs where they train alongside medical residents. This training focuses on the bones, skin, and muscles of the face, mouth, and jaws, preparing them for the cases they will take when dealing with wisdom teeth or other types of oral surgeries.
Less Risk of Complications
There will always be a certain risk of complications when it comes to surgical procedures. However, an oral surgeon is best equipped to handle these complications, allowing you to feel safe and comforted that you are in the best hands possible for your procedure. As part of their formal training, oral surgeons learn how to manage complications that may arise from removing wisdom teeth. These complications may include infection, maxillary sinus issues, bleeding, or nerve injury.
Health Concerns
When having their wisdom teeth removed, patients with certain health issues, such as diabetes, or whose wisdom teeth are abscessed or impacted can benefit from the experience and training of an oral surgeon.
Whether you are anxious about the procedure or are nervous about how you will feel during or after the removal, our team of six trained oral surgeons is here to help you feel as comfortable and safe as possible. We are here to help you regain a pain-free smile without the hassle wisdom teeth can bring!
