In this video, Dr. Diane Hines explains how we approach wisdom tooth removal and when a referral to a specialist is best.
We do remove wisdom teeth, but we are selective about the cases we treat in-office. If the teeth are positioned favorably, they may be removed by Dr. Seluk or myself. However, if the case is more complex, we will refer you to an oral surgeon. Oral surgeons have specialized training and equipment to handle difficult extractions safely and effectively.
Our priority is ensuring that every patient has a positive experience and the best possible outcome. That’s why we work closely with trusted specialists when needed, because knowing when to refer is just as important as providing treatment.
