Why impacted or crowded wisdom teeth need to come out
Wisdom teeth (third molars) usually emerge between the ages of 17-25. In many cases, they can:
- Erupt at the wrong angle
- Become impacted (stuck under gums or bone)
- Cause crowding or shifting in other teeth
- Lead to infection, gum pain, or jaw stiffness
Removing problematic wisdom teeth early helps prevent complications and protects your overall oral health.
Signs you may need your wisdom teeth removed
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Swollen or tender gums behind molars
- Headaches or pressure in the back of the mouth
- Food getting trapped behind back teeth
- Infections, cysts, or recurring bad breath
- Orthodontic relapse (crowding or shifting teeth)
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an exam today with Dr. Mozner to see if wisdom teeth extraction is right for you.
Simple, surgical and preventive wisdom tooth extractions
Simple wisdom tooth extraction
For fully erupted wisdom teeth that come out under local anesthesia. Dr. Mozner handles these in house at our Syosset office.
Surgical wisdom tooth extraction
For impacted, angled, or partially erupted teeth, where the tooth sits under the gum or bone. Dr. Mozner does many of these himself. When a tooth is deeply impacted, wrapped around a nerve, or needs general anesthesia, he refers you to a trusted oral surgeon and coordinates your care so nothing falls through the cracks.
Preventive wisdom tooth removal
Removing a wisdom tooth before it causes symptoms, to head off future infection, decay, or crowding. Dr. Mozner will tell you honestly whether yours needs to come out now or can safely be watched.
How a 3D CT scan is used to plan wisdom tooth removal
Before any wisdom tooth extraction, Dr. Mozner uses the office’s CT scan (CBCT) to capture a 3D image of the jaw, the surrounding nerves, and the exact position of the wisdom teeth. This lets him plan the extraction with precision: the orientation of the roots, how close they sit to the inferior alveolar nerve, and whether the tooth is fully impacted, partially erupted, or angled.
Better planning means fewer surprises and often a faster, less invasive procedure.
What happens during wisdom teeth removal, step by step
- Digital Imaging & Consultation: Dr. Mozner uses X-rays or CBCT scans to assess the position of your wisdom teeth.
- Anesthesia Options: Local numbing, oral sedation, or nitrous oxide available based on your comfort needs.
- Tooth Extraction: Fast, gentle removal of one or all four wisdom teeth in one visit.
- Post-Op Care Instructions: We’ll provide a detailed recovery plan, including managing swelling, discomfort, and diet.
- Follow-Up Support: We’re here to help you heal smoothly and answer any post-op questions.
Nitrous oxide and gentle numbing for wisdom teeth removal
Dr. Mozner numbs you with a gentler injection technique and offers nitrous oxide and noise-canceling headphones so the visit stays calm. Planning the extraction in advance on the CT scan keeps the procedure itself as quick and predictable as possible.
The dentist understood my fear with dental equipment from past experiences in a different office so he and his assistant made sure I was comfortable and even provided options such as noise canceling headphones!

Wisdom tooth or another tooth: which treatment do you need?
My broken molar has to come out. Is that a wisdom tooth case?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the very back. Removal of any other tooth, simple or surgical, is covered under tooth extractions.
My tooth is badly decayed and hurts. Does it have to be pulled?
Many painful, decayed teeth can be saved with root canal treatment.
My jaw swelled up today and the pain is bad. Can I be seen quickly?
Swelling and sudden pain are handled as an emergency visit. See emergency dental care.
Will I need to replace the tooth after it comes out?
Wisdom teeth usually do not need replacing. For any other missing tooth, see dental implants.
Wisdom teeth removal in Syosset: common questions
Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
Not during the procedure. We use local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you comfortable. Some soreness afterward is normal and manageable with medication.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Usually between ages 16-25, before the roots fully develop and complications arise.
Can I have just one wisdom tooth removed?
Yes. We’ll evaluate your specific case and only recommend removing teeth that are causing issues or are at risk.
How long is recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
Most patients recover in 3-7 days, depending on the number of teeth removed and complexity of the procedure.
Are wisdom teeth removed in-house or referred to an oral surgeon?
Dr. Mozner removes erupted wisdom teeth and many surgical extractions in house at our Syosset office, with the case planned on a 3D CT scan. For a deeply impacted tooth, one wrapped around a nerve, or any case that needs general anesthesia or hospital-based surgery, he refers you to a trusted oral surgeon and stays involved so your care is coordinated start to finish.
How much do wisdom teeth extractions cost in Syosset?
The cost depends on how many teeth are removed and whether each is a simple or surgical extraction, which Dr. Mozner can tell you after a CT scan and exam. The front desk checks your insurance before your visit and goes over what is covered, so you know the cost up front. Creative Dental of Syosset accepts most PPO plans, and CareCredit financing is available.
