What Are Wisdom Teeth, and Why Are They Removed?
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 Wisdom Teeth Removal
- 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: Knowing Which Case Is Yours
Simple Extractions
For fully erupted wisdom teeth that come out under local anesthesia. Dr. Mozner handles these in house at our Syosset office.
Surgical Extractions
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 Extractions
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.
What to Expect During Your Wisdom Tooth Removal
- 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.
FAQs, Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Syosset, NY
Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
Not during the procedure, we use local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you fully comfortable. Some soreness afterward is normal and manageable with medication.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Ideally between ages 16-25: before the roots fully develop and complications arise.
Can I remove just one wisdom tooth?
Yes. We’ll evaluate your specific case and only recommend removing teeth that are causing issues or are at risk.
How long is recovery?
Most patients recover in 3-7 days: depending on the number of teeth removed and complexity of the procedure.
Does Dr. Mozner remove wisdom teeth in house, or do you refer out?
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.
I am nervous about getting my wisdom teeth out. What do you do to keep me comfortable?
Comfort is built into the visit. Dr. Mozner uses a gentler injection technique, offers nitrous oxide and local anesthesia, and provides noise-canceling headphones for anxious patients. He plans the extraction in advance with a CT scan so the procedure itself is as quick and predictable as possible.
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.

CT Scan-Guided 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. Paired with nitrous oxide, noise-canceling headphones, and a gentler injection technique, the goal is to make wisdom tooth removal as comfortable as it can be.
Dr. Mozner removes erupted and many surgical wisdom teeth in house. When a case is deeply impacted or needs general anesthesia or hospital-based surgery, he refers you to a trusted oral surgeon and coordinates your care.
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!
