Needed all 4 wisdom teeth to come out and my dentist referred me here! Only hitch was that I was seen close to an hour after the actual time my appointment was made for, but other than that the process was very smooth! Everyone treated me very kindly, Dr. Smith was the best, went over the x-ray with me and took the time to answer all my questions and make sure I felt at ease and taken care of! His assistants were just as excellent in making me comfortable, and Dr. Smith did a great job on the extractions! One week out and I am recovering nicely!

I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday by Dr. Smith, and it was honestly one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had — 10/10. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and professionally. The front desk receptionists were exceptional. They were incredibly helpful with scheduling my appointment and walking me through my insurance coverage, which made the entire process stress-free. They were friendly, patient, and happy to answer all my questions. The oral surgery team was just as amazing they made sure I felt comfortable and at ease before the procedure began. They explained everything clearly, which really helped calm my nerves.
The procedure itself was surprisingly quick and efficient. Before I knew it, it was over!
I experienced no post-operative complications at all just some minor swelling on the day of the surgery that only lasted about four hours. I followed the aftercare instructions carefully, and recovery was much easier than I expected.
They even called me an hour after my appointment to check on me, which was so nice, thanks!
Overall, I’m extremely happy with my experience and highly recommend Dr. Smith and the entire team for anyone needing their wisdom teeth removed.
Tips I’d definitely share:
-To help with swelling drink, pure pineapple juice before surgery day and after.
-When changing our gauze, make sure it’s damp before applying to surgical sites to avoid blood clot sticking to gauze which may increase your chance of getting dry socket, which can be painful.
-Once the bleeding has completely stopped, treat yourself to some ice cream. It helps soothe the area and makes the recovery process a little more enjoyable.
-Make sure to consistently wear your wisdom teeth ice pack head wrap after your procedure.The cold pack will start to lose its chill fairly quickly, so as soon as you get home, place it back in the freezer or fridge so it's ready to use again.
Keeping it cold and using it as directed really helps minimize swelling and makes the recovery process much more comfortable.

My son had his wisdom teeth removed along with jaw surgery to bring his bottom jaw forward, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The entire team was incredibly attentive from start to finish. Even after the surgery, they checked in, made sure he was comfortable, and answered every question we had. Everything went smoothly, and we never had a single issue. I’m so grateful for the care they provided!! Highly recommend!

Dr Smith and his staff were amazing with my son. He had his wisdom teeth extracted. From the moment we walked in to the moment Amanda walked him to my car, we were treated like friends. Courtney even called lasted that day to check on him. Speaks volumes!
