Wisdom Teeth

What are wisdom teeth?

Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.

Dr. Abbey is a confident surgeon who greets you with enthusiasm and kindness. His expertise shines w/ ease and his gentle touch soothes your worries. My son has all 4 wisdom teeth extracted on the same day. I truly believe because Dr. Abbey is so skilled, my son's recovery went speedily and without major swelling. You get what you (or insurance) pay for. We were so delighted w/ the results and will not hesitate to refer others to this gem of an office. His staff of ladies is exceptional and run the office w/ much efficiency.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial

Dr. Abbey and his staff are wonderful. He removed both of my children's wisdom teeth. The entire process was organized, friendly, and smooth. The doctor and staff answered all of our questions and concerns. Dr. Abbey followed up personally with both of my children after surgery to make sure there were no issues. Great experience!
