Wisdom teeth come in years after any other teeth in your mouth. Because of this, there often just isn’t enough room for them in your jaw. They may be at an awkward angle or even positioned horizontally. This can damage the nearby teeth. Another common problem is impaction, when the teeth don’t fully emerge through the gums. This makes you more prone to tooth decay, gum disease, and infection. If any of these conditions are present, we may suggest removing wisdom teeth.
Our dentists use advanced technology to monitor exactly what is going on with wisdom teeth, including digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and panoramic X-rays. Our team has lots of experience with oral surgery, so you’re in good hands if you need a wisdom teeth procedure.
We’ll provide you with thorough instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery. You will likely need to take it easy for a few days. We may prescribe pain medication.

Excellent interaction with everybody from receptionist thru my entire visit. Very clean atmosphere. They took time to answer my questions and explain their findings. Would highly recommend this practice to anyone.
Dr Chai & staff are terrific!
I highly recommend Smiles by Dr. Chai. Not only is she a great dentist that takes time with her patients but, her entire team are AWESOME!! Always very welcoming, thorough, and takes the time to answer any questions.
Due to a work injury, it was necessary for me to have a root canal as well as a crown on two of my front teeth. I was very concerned that the crowns would not match my original teeth. Dr. Chai walked me through the procedure and made me feel comfortable. When it was all done, I was amazed and happy with the outcome. My new teeth look great! Dr. Chai and her staff are very professional and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Chai for all your dental needs.
Dr. Chai is so great! I’ve been looking for a great dentist who is honest and capable. Dr. Chai is all of this and more. I am so glad she worked out for me. I used to see Dr. Burgess and was nervous when Dr. Chai took over but now I’m glad she is here to stay. I wish Dr. Burgess well but I am so glad Dr. Chai took over for him. The facility is clean and staff have always been very friendly. The visits are always painless and my kids survive them every time. Thank you!
Dr. Chai and her staff are all very friendly and professional! On all of my visits here I feel very comfortable and as though I am in very capable hands whether it be a regular cleaning or a more involved procedure.
I have dreaded going to the dentist for a very long time. I put it off for far to long. When I finally broke down and went, they made it so completely comfortable. The whole office was beyond kind. Thank you! ❤️
Had a wonderful experience here with Dr.Chai. She was extremely kind, gentle and professional in her approach and patiently walked me through all the details of the procedure. Perfect for someone like me who is quite nervous about going to the dentist. She clearly explained what equipment she was using and what to expect at every step of the way during the procedure to make me feel comfortable and at ease which I truly appreciate. Also, the office is fantastic with state of the art equipment. Overall, the service was exceptional! I had a great experience with Dr.Chai and would highly recommend!
Staff is friendly, courteous, patient, and helpful. Overall visit was great. Would definitely recommend they’re services.
Wisdom teeth usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. If there is sufficient room for them to come in in the proper place and position, then they may not need removal. However, if they come in improperly and put your other teeth at risk, they will need to be removed to protect your overall oral health.
While you should feel much better within a day or two, it can take up to two weeks to fully recover. During this time you may experience mild discomfort and swelling. You can speed your recovery by avoiding smoking and alcohol and eating soft foods for the first few days. Rinsing with warm salt water also helps lessen gum tenderness and inflammation.
There shouldn’t be any pain during the tooth removal itself since we thoroughly numb your mouth with anesthesia. You also have the choice of receiving dental sedation. There may be some soreness and discomfort for several days following the surgery. We may offer pain medication, and we’ll give you instructions to help ensure a pleasant recovery.
