This past Tuesday evening my upper dentures broke, on Wednesday morning I started calling dental offices and no one could accommodate me until I found Aspen dental in Commack New York I was immediately set up with an appointment for Wednesday afternoon. The front desk staff of Junelle and Jayson make you feel right at home and handled the paperwork with great speed and efficiency the dental team headed by Dr. Joe and his dental assistants Mary ,Dana and Scarlett and lab techs Alex and Derek went above and beyond to make everything perfect. While always making sure that I was their number one Priority. For the next three visits I was made to feel like family and by Friday afternoon I had my new dentures which were absolutely perfect . I just want to thank Aspen dental for an amazing experience Doreen Bronzino Hirsch December 20, 2021
I tried this place for the first time and I am pleased with their services. Their friendly staff made feel comfortable since the beginning. I came here for an emergency and I was able to get an appointment the same day. I got my first examination and x-rays done for free, as stated on their website. I ended up having two of my wisdom teeth removed, one of which was difficult to remove because of my dense bones. So it took a little longer than usual. And I must confess I was a little nervous because I didn't know the kind of work this dentist had done in the past. There were so little reviews on the internet about him. But doctor Zhou did a great job, despite the challenge. I didn't have too much pain afterwards, but I took pain killers the first night, just in case. The next day I didn't have any pain. Following the doctor's instructions helped me for a fast recovery. It's been five days and I'm almost back to normal. I know visiting a dentist is not fun for anyone, but with the right hands doing the job, you can be relieved that you'll be fine if you do your part following the doctor's instructions. I will definitely be back to this place and I recommend it for anyone. Their prices are also reasonable, even for people without insurance.

Wisdom teeth removal treatment in Commack, NY

When wisdom teeth cause pain, swelling or infection, it can throw off your whole routine. These teeth often come in at odd angles or don’t fully emerge, which can lead to ongoing discomfort and oral health problems. At Aspen Dental in Commack, our care team makes wisdom tooth removal as smooth as possible. With modern tools, anesthesia and a focus on your comfort, we’re here to help you feel at ease. You’ll always get a clear estimate up front, simple treatment options to choose from and—when available—the chance for same-day or next-day care.

What are wisdom tooth extractions?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Not all wisdom teeth require removal—but when they cause pain, crowding or infection, tooth extraction is often the most effective solution. If the tooth is fully visible, it can usually be removed with forceps under local anesthesia. For teeth that are impacted or partially emerged, a minor surgical procedure may be needed. Your Aspen Dental care team will walk you through which option is best for you and explain how we minimize discomfort.

Reasons to get a wisdom tooth extraction

You may need removal if you experience:
1
Pain or swelling
Discomfort at the back of your mouth can be a sign of trouble.
2
Infections or gum irritation
Inflamed or infected gums around wisdom teeth can worsen if untreated.
3
Pressure or crowding
Wisdom teeth can shift other teeth, causing bite issues.
4
Cysts, decay, or damage
In some cases, wisdom teeth can cause cysts or damage surrounding teeth.

Types of wisdom tooth extractions

Non surgical wisdom tooth extractions

When a wisdom tooth has fully erupted, removal is straightforward. Under local anesthesia, your Aspen Dental dentist gently loosens and extracts the tooth with forceps.

Surgical wisdom tooth extractions

When a wisdom tooth is impacted or angled incorrectly, a surgical approach may be needed. Your Aspen Dental dentist makes a small opening in the gum to remove the tooth, sometimes placing sutures to aid healing.
