Wisdom Teeth – Washington & Arlington

What are wisdom teeth?

Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.

5 out of 5 stars based on 37 Wisdom Tooth Extraction and Wisdom Teeth reviews.

Patient Review

The staff and the doctors were some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Upon entering the office a was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. They were quick to explain everything that was going to happen and had no problem answering the many questions I had. Even after the procedure was complete they were still very attentive as I would call in every once in a while for advise on what I can and cannot eat. I would definitely come here again.

Patient Review

Dr Patel and her team are awesome!!! 2 weeks ago, I had 5 teeth extracted pre-Invisalign to allow more space in my mouth. I had absolutely no pain post-procedure where I only took one Percocet the day of surgery and only needed Motrin thereafter. I was able to eat food the Saturday after the procedure on Friday because I had absolutely no pain or discomfort. I read an article that there is an art to removing teeth and I honestly think that Dr. Patel is a Van Gogh. I would highly recommend her and her office to anyone in need of Oral or Maxillofacial needs and I will return to her office if I am ever in need again. Every step of the way was flawless !!! Thanks so much, Dr. Patel !!! CJ Densmore

Dr. Patel is truly one of the best! She has been my oral surgeon following a terrible experience with a previous surgeon and she has been an absolute godsend! She is abreast of all of the latest technology and takes the time to explain each procedure in layman's terms so her patients feel comfortable and at ease. I brought my teenage daughter to Dr. Patel to have her wisdom teeth extracted and I am still amazed at how effortless this procedure was! My daughter had absolutely NO SWELLING whatsoever and only needed Tylenol directly following the procedure--she experienced no further pain! Others that have had this extraction done in the past are completely in awe when I tell them about my daughter's experience! So glad I found Dr. Patel!!

Patient Review

Dr. Patel and her staff are outstanding. The wisdom tooth extraction she performed was extremely quick and painless (it was my first and I was a bit anxious). I was in quite a bit of pain and she scheduled the appointment and performed the procedure the next day. Her staff went above and beyond regarding the insurance aspects of the procedure (trying to find ways to reduce costs for an x-ray I needed but my insurance wouldn't cover). I hope she stays in Arlington and I would hesitate recommending her to anyone.
