The Atlanta Dental Group PC offers patients most dental oral surgery services including routine extractions, wisdom tooth surgery, and the removal of impacted teeth. Most procedures go very well, take less than an hour and are done in our office by Dr. Mark Allan Padolsky. Dr. Padolsky is a Georgia dentist who has practiced with the group for over two and a half decades.

         The dental oral surgery patient is seated and completely numbed. It's important to wait and allow the numbness to sink in fully. The dentist checks the depth of the anesthesia by making a small incision around the wisdom tooth. Once it is confirmed that the patient is completely numb the incision is lengthened and the gum tissue is gently pulled away from the wisdom tooth. If any of the surrounding bone is in the way, it is then removed. If needed, the wisdom tooth is then gently sectioned into pieces and the pieces are then removed. Finally, stitches are placed so that the gum tissue lays back in place correctly.

         Dr. Padolsky believes that most dental oral surgery patients should be placed on a dental antibiotic after invasive procedures, especially after wisdom tooth removal. A narcotic analgesic is also prescribed to help reduce or eliminate any post operative dental pain. All patients are then seen post operatively one week after their procedure and there is no additional fee for this visit if it's solely to check the surgery site. Fortunately, most oral surgery patients are very pleased with their experiences.

         Every one of our patients is important to us and we are dedicated to help make all dental visits, even for dental oral surgery, comfortable. The dentists at the Atlanta Dental Group PC are dedicated to their patients' good health and well being. You are welcome to become part of our family of patients.
