Wisdom teeth or third molars often erupt during adulthood. By this time, the mouth has developed a complete set of teeth, and the size of the jaw has stopped growing. It could be the reason why wisdom teeth frequently become difficult. When there is no room in the mouth for another molar, or when the third molar stands out in an awkward position, it typically results in complications.
Wisdom teeth should be removed early to avoid surgical complications and decrease the risk of potential problems during surgery. It is encouraged to have wisdom teeth removed prior to breaking the surface, due to the risk of infection. If the teeth do impact gum surface, the surgery will be more difficult to perform. The longer one waits, the longer the recovery time will be and there is a much higher risk of procedure complication. The typical recovery time is two to three days of resting and avoiding any strenuous activity, accompanied by a soft food diet for three to seven days.
New York Oral Surgeon, Adam S. Brisman, D.M.D. understand that each patient is unique and so are their teeth. Whether or not you need to have your wisdom teeth removed by a dentist, we really depend on the size of your palate. If you have plenty of room for all of your teeth and your third molars, they can stay in place. There is no point in removing something that grows in straight and is healthy. However, any tooth that grows in impacted needs to be removed because it is posing a direct threat to your other teeth and roots in addition to being a target for infections. The best way to find out if your wisdom teeth should be removed is to call (212) 348-0020 and schedule an appointment. We can make a recommendation and answer any other questions you have about the procedure itself.
The first 48 hours are critical since this is when you may experience bleeding, pressure, and swelling. After this, it can take a week or two to recover. Your actual recovery time will be based on the procedure and whether or not your wisdom teeth removal was completed with surgery.
To facilitate healing after wisdom teeth removal, make sure you get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water and avoid alcoholic, caffeinated and hot beverages for the first 24 to 48 hours. And of course, everyone’s favorite part of the healing process, eat soft foods such as ice cream and yogurt for the first day. You can add in soups one to two days after the procedure, but stay away from hard or chewy foods for one to two weeks.
Schedule a consultation and let our best surgeons assess your teeth. The only way to find out if your wisdom teeth must be removed is through an X-ray, and then analyzing its results. Get your questions asked during your consultation, our highly trained medical staff will be glad to provide answers.

Dental implants refer specifically to the titanium post inserted into the jaw, which acts as a replacement to the natural root. It needs to heal before the process can be completed. Start-to-finish, it can take up to a year for a dental implant, especially if the patient needs to build up bone mass first.
Once the titanium post is ready, an abutment and crown, or restoration, goes on top of that. When it’s finished, it has the look and function of a natural tooth.
Despite these facts, dental implants can still fail in certain situations. For this reason, we at Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery (BIOS) make sure that you are aware of the possible causes of dental implant failure.
A dental implant is essentially a prosthetic which the body needs to learn to “accept.” Failure may occur if the body “rejects” the prosthesis. In this case, the body can reject a dental implant if the patient becomes allergic to titanium, the most commonly-used material for dental implant abutments, after the procedure.
Remember that the mouth is one of the most inhospitable environments in the body. With saliva being acidic, introducing a foreign material like the metal abutment of a dental implant into the oral cavity can result in mild corrosion. As a result, the patient may develop an allergy.
Fortunately, allergic reactions are very rare, and corrosion only happens in specific situations:
Poor oral hygiene is another common cause of implant failure. Titanium implants may be durable, but they still require proper care, after all.
This includes thorough brushing. Bacteria exist in the mouth, and although it has its uses, it can also be harmful to your oral health. With regard to dental implants, bacteria can form around them and the surrounding tissues, resulting in implant failure.
If you already have implants or are about to get one, take care not to neglect your oral hygiene. This is the simplest rule of dental care, yet most people ignore it. Don’t be one of them, make difference.
The success of a dental implant also depends on the skill of the dentist. If an inexperienced dentist incorrectly positions the implant, it can result in osseointegration failure.
Osseointegration refers to the merging or anchoring of the dental implant to the jawbone. This process can take a couple of weeks after the procedure. In some cases, however, the implant fails to connect to the jawbone. As mentioned above, incorrect positioning is a cause, along with low bone density, bone or tissue trauma, and nerve damage. Dental implant failure is inevitable even if you do your utmost to care for your implants.
Led by an accomplished Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. Adam Brisman, BIOS provides quality dental implants in New York and nearby areas.
Dental implants, which are surgically inserted into your jaw, feel and function just like your own teeth. They are also made to match your natural teeth, making it virtually impossible to tell the two apart. Plus, they offer many other advantages:
Removable dentures can slide off when you’re eating and, sometimes, when you’re speaking. But with implants surgically placed into your jaw, you gain more tooth stability. In turn, you can chew, eat, and speak better and more comfortably.
Other tooth replacement options such as dental bridges require grinding down the adjacent teeth so that the bridge can be cemented on them. By contrast, dental implants don’t compromise any adjacent teeth as they are directly placed into the missing tooth’s space.
Dental implants in New York is made from titanium, which is known for being durable. Thus, with proper and regular care, dental implants will last many years, perhaps even a lifetime.
Since dental implants are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent. In turn, they eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures every night, as well as the need for putting messy adhesives to keep them in place.
When performed by a specialist, dental implant procedures have a high success rate. Clinical studies even indicate a success rate of greater than 95%—and that is higher than any other tooth replacement option.
