The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a mouth that holds only 28 teeth. These four other teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.”

Wisdom Teeth Oral Examination Augusta

With an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth, Dr. D’Arco can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if there are present or may be future problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid-teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

All outpatient surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia to maximize patient comfort. Dr. D’Arco has the training, license and experience to provide various types of anesthesia for patients to select the best alternative.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Augusta

In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. These options, as well as the surgical risks (i.e., sensory nerve damage, and sinus complications), will be discussed with you before the procedure is performed. Once the teeth are removed, the gum is sutured. To help control bleeding, bite down on the gauze placed in your mouth. You will rest under our supervision in the office until you are ready to be taken home. Upon discharge, your postoperative kit will include postoperative instructions, a prescription for pain medication, antibiotics, and a follow-up appointment in one week for suture removal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at Dr. Samuel C. D’Arco, DDS Phone Number Dr. Samuel C. D'Arco, DDS Phone Number 706-228-3100.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial

Dr.D’Arco was so pleasant. When I came in to my visit from the front office I was treated so well. I appreciate the insurance specialist telling me just how much I had to pay. The day I came into surgery I was so scared. The anesthesia physician was so nice. I am a week post op and I feel great. No pain. I would recommend to anyone.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial

We were super impressed with Dearco and the staff. My daughter had wisdom teeth removed and for a scared and anxious mom they made everything so comfortable for me but also for my daughter. They were efficient in calling me back over the weekend when I was worried about her. I’m here now again with my middle daughter and about to have hers removed. We love this place and would recommend him to anyone!
