Is It Time for Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Jaw Pain, Swelling & Infection

Persistent pain, swelling, or infection near your back molars is one of the most common signs of an impacted wisdom tooth.

Pressure on Nearby Teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth can damage or place pressure on adjacent teeth, leading to further complications.

Crowding & Shifting Teeth

Wisdom teeth pushing against neighboring teeth can cause crowding and shift your smile out of alignment.

Cysts, Decay & Gum Disease

Unerupted teeth can lead to cyst or lesion development, along with decay and gum disease in hard-to-reach areas.

Don't Wait for Complications to Develop

If you're noticing any of these symptoms, scheduling an evaluation early can help prevent more invasive treatment down the road. Our Erie County oral surgery team offers thorough evaluations and a clear treatment plan tailored to your needs.

A Comfortable Experience, Your Way

Patient comfort is our top priority. Depending on your needs, our team offers a range of anesthesia options and will recommend the most appropriate choice for your care.

IV Sedation

Helps you remain deeply relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. You'll have little to no memory of the experience while remaining responsive.

General Anesthesia

For certain cases, general anesthesia ensures maximum comfort and is recommended when deeper sedation is the safest and most effective approach.

Local Anesthesia

Local anesthetic numbs the treatment area completely, preventing discomfort during the procedure for patients who prefer to remain fully awake.

Patient Reviews

Dr. Nigalye and staff are absolutely fantastic!! They are kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. Both my son and daughter had their wisdom teeth extracted at Niagara Dental Implant and Oral Surgery. They answered any questions and concerns my kids had and put their minds at ease. My son had a few additional concerns. They brought him in and helped with his concerns and issues right away. We are very thankful for Dr. Nigalye and his wonderful staff! We highly recommend them. :)

Dr. Nigalye was able to address all the concerns we had prior to wisdom teeth extraction and put our minds at ease. And when my daughter's pain didn't go away soon, he brought us back in to check and advise. This was very helpful because it was difficult to tell if anything was indeed wrong or not. (It turned out there was nothing to worry.) Overall it was a successful surgery and we were happy with the outcome.

Jaw pain, swelling, infection, gum inflammation, and pressure on nearby teeth are all signs it may be time for an evaluation.
Yes. Impacted wisdom teeth typically require a minor outpatient surgical procedure performed under local or IV anesthesia.
Most extractions take under an hour, depending on how many teeth are removed and how they're positioned.
Soft foods like yogurt, soup, and mashed vegetables are recommended for the first few days to protect the extraction site.
Cold compresses, prescribed medication, and rest during the first 48 hours help minimize swelling and discomfort.
