Process
Initial Consultation: We start with a full exam and digital X-rays to evaluate your wisdom teeth, surrounding bone and overall oral health. Dr. Haider will determine if a simple or surgical removal is needed and review sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation, so you know what to expect.
Preparation: Before your wisdom teeth appointment, you’ll receive detailed instructions. Oral sedation may require fasting and arranging for a ride home, while nitrous oxide typically doesn’t need any special preparation.
Extraction Procedure: To keep you comfortable, local anesthesia and sedation—either nitrous oxide or oral sedation—will be used. Dr. Haider performs the removal with careful, precise techniques, whether it’s a straightforward extraction or a surgical procedure, to minimize discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.
