EXTRACTION OF WISDOM TEETH

The Krupp Center will provide the safest, most comfortable extraction procedure possible. Even though many fear removing their wisdom teeth, at the Krupp Center, you can expect considerate, efficient dental care from our team every time.

Impacted wisdom teeth are frequently among the many conditions that require oral surgery. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Krupp is eminently qualified to remove your wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth, otherwise known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes these teeth emerge from the gum line, and the jaw is large enough to allow room for them, but this is not the case most of the time. More often, one or more of these third molars fails to emerge in proper alignment or fails to emerge fully through the gum line and becomes entrapped or "impacted" between the jawbone and the gum tissue.
Impacted wisdom teeth can result in swelling, pain, and infection of the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth. In addition, impacted wisdom teeth can cause permanent damage to nearby teeth, gums, and bone and can sometimes lead to cysts or tumors that can destroy jaw sections. Therefore, dentists recommend people with impacted wisdom teeth have them surgically removed.
If you haven't scheduled your appointment already, please call us today - (410) 583-7600.

What type of post-treatment care will I need to follow?
Post-operative care following a tooth extraction is essential for healing and preventing complications. You will be instructed to avoid certain foods and also keep the surgical site clean at all times. If you are prescribed an antibiotic, it is crucial that you complete the course of treatment to prevent infection. Finally, you may be advised to avoid smoking or drinking through a straw, as doing so may delay the healing process and cause complications.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed after being referred to this place by my dentist. Dr. Krupp was my dentist and was SUPER nice. I was knocked out for the whole thing and had no probs at all. They gave me my prescriptions early so I could get them filled before the procedure and wouldn't have to stop on the way home. the place is really upscale and i would def go back if i had to.

I went in crying like a baby about having my wisdom teeth removed and they made me so comfortable. Very clean practice!

If you come here it's likely to have unpleasant dental work done. I had to have a tooth extracted after a bad root canal followed by four failed root canal retreatments. Since I had four procedures done within two weeks of having it pulled, I was a mess. They instantly put me at ease by providing a stress ball and playing positive music. I found their bedside manner to be perfect and just what I needed. I will need future work done and this is where I will come.

Great OMFS center! Customer service was great. We came for my sons impacted wisdom teeth. We got there early and they accommodated us right away. Dr Krupp is a no fuss no nonsense kind of guy and he was very efficient. We were done in no time. Overall a great experience. My son was well taken cared of post op too. He had medications to help with healing, pain and infection prevention.

Dr. Krupp extracted all four of my wisdom teeth 3 years ago, it was the easiest procedure i have ever had ! I had my wisdom teeth extracted on a Friday afternoon, went car shopping on Saturday and enjoyed a great birthday dinner for my dad on Sunday ! Dr. Krupp shows great care for all of his patients answered all of my questions and concerns and really made this procedure that i had put off for a very long time so easy ! Dr. Krupp's outstanding facility and staff made me feel right at home. Many of my friends and family have gone to Dr. Krupp for extractions, dental implants and cosmetic procedures, and everyone has had all of their expectations blown out of the water! Thanks for taking such great care Dr. Krupp !

I can't say enough about Dr.Krupp and his team. I am a cosmetic patient who has very high expectation and he always delivers! Besides making me feel important with his genuine care, I trust his ability as a doctor and artist. Dr.Krupp not only has the knowledge, experience and expertise, he also knows how to connect and communicate while making you feel welcome (like you're part of the Krupp family)! So if you are looking for great anti-aging options, whether its surgical or non-invasive, he's someone you can trust to enhance your features and keep you looking natural. You can feel good about aging gracefully without looking "done" ... that's the key to quality esthetic care! Dr.Krupp has been my best kept secret for years, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Dr. Krupp took all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth out at once - in less than 10 minutes! I ended up just having some swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards and that was it. His office is clean and his staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It was about as great as a surgical experience can be, definitely recommend.
