Restore Your Smile

1. Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a full examination of your mouth, including digital X-rays, to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the safest approach for wisdom tooth removal or extraction.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

Our team will walk you through the entire process, answering your questions and tailoring the procedure to your needs. You'll know exactly what to expect before, during and after your appointment.

3. Sedation & Anesthesia Options

Depending on your comfort level and case complexity, we’ll offer local anesthesia, sedation, or both to ensure a pain-free experience during your oral surgery.

4. Gentle Tooth Removal

Using advanced techniques, we carefully perform the wisdom tooth removal or extraction. If necessary, the tooth may be divided into smaller pieces to minimize tissue disruption.

5. Clean & Close

The area is thoroughly cleaned to prevent infection, and stitches may be placed to support successful healing.

6. Smooth Recovery starts Here

We’ll give you clear, personalized aftercare instructions to support a calm and complication-free recovery. Healing begins with rest, gentle cleaning and following your post-treatment plan.

Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal you should know

Removing wisdom teeth is not only about relieving pain. It is also a proactive step that can protect your long-term oral health and reduce the risk of future complications.

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop, and when there isn’t enough room for them to grow in properly, they may become impacted wisdom teeth. This can lead to infection, swelling and pressure on nearby teeth.

Here are some key benefits of early wisdom tooth removal or extraction:

Schedule an Appointment

Prevent Infections

When wisdom teeth don’t erupt fully, they can trap food and bacteria beneath the gums, leading to painful infections like pericoronitis, swelling, and even fever.

Avoid Cyst Formation

Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to fluid-filled cysts in the jawbone. Over time, these can damage surrounding bone and teeth—sometimes even leading to tumors if left untreated.

Reduce the Risk of Crowding

Wisdom teeth often push against nearby teeth, causing shifting and crowding—especially in patients who’ve had braces. Removing them early can help maintain proper alignment.

Lower the risk of Tooth Decay and Gum Disease

Even if there’s no pain, wisdom teeth that are hard to reach can be difficult to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and periodontal issues over time.

Protect Adjacent Teeth

A wisdom tooth pressing against the molar next to it can lead to decay, bone loss, or gum disease. Extraction helps protect the long-term health of neighboring teeth.

A friend recommended this holistic dental practice to me after I expressed an interest in removing my mercury fillings. This is an excellent practice. Every staff member is stellar. My initial visit was a consult that included a thorough dental exam with saliva testing (to measure the pH levels) and panoramic X-rays. Morgan explained every aspect of the exam in full detail and was super friendly and gentle. I also met with Dr. Lee who was very good at explaining the amalgam removal process as well as the health benefits of it. He is super nice! I had a hygiene appointment a few weeks later with Morgan. It was a wonderful experience and very thorough that included cleaning, polishing, irrigation and an application of a special protective solution. I don’t enjoy going to the dentist but everyone in this practice (Karla, Georgia, Morgan and the dentists) make it so very pleasant. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding care and treatment. I can’t wait to return next week for my amalgam removal. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My toddler son had his first dental appointment, and I am so happy with the entire experience, from booking the appointment right until walking out the door. Initially when I called to inquire about this dental office I spoke with the receptionist Carla. I had a bit of a unique situation, but she went above and beyond to sort it all out. The dental hygienist Sharon made my son comfortable and made his first experience fun for him. The dentist Shanny Chang was also very patient and and made him feel comfortable. He is 3.5, so I was nervous about how he would react, but they put him at ease and made it a great experience for us. He even got a little toy once the appointment was over.
The facility is well maintained, clean and up to date. I am so happy to have found a dental office with a holistic approach, that provides excellent care. I highly recommend

I avoided dental care for 2 years due to past experiences, but Junction Family Dental Care turned it around for me. The staff made me feel safe and comfortable for my cleanings and fillings, with gentleness, kindness, appropriate pain management, and accomodations to make this dentistry a truly painless experience. They were compassionate and understanding of my past dental trauma, personal beliefs, excercise informed consent and never rush, belittle you, or use force. I now happily travel across the city for care at this clinic without the looming dread I once experienced regarding dental care and highly recommend them to anyone with a history of dental trauma, or for anyone else!

I've been coming to this office for just over a year now. Everyone from the front desk to hygienists to dentists is a pleasure to work with. They help me navigate insurance claims and don't push for x-rays to an uncomfortable extent like other clinics do. They are also willing to accommodate me if/when I request a fluoride treatment at the end of a cleaning (as a holistic clinic, their default is fluoride free). I appreciate this because I may not have done my research before signing up as a patient and it can be expensive to change dentists 😅

I had an excellent experience with the Junction Family Dental Care team.
Their positive attitude made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. They were highly professional, caring, and attentive, ensuring I was comfortable throughout the appointment. Sharon took the time to explain everything clearly and was incredibly understanding of my needs. I truly appreciate their kindness and dedication to providing top-notch care. Highly recommend!

I recently made the switch from a conventional dentist to this holistic one. The full experience from onboarding my file, booking appointments, to being in the chair has been absolutely flawless and incredibly thorough. Carla has been very clear, concise and welcoming along with her talented colleagues who have examined my mouth health closely. I discovered that all staff are consistently learning through continued education which reflects in their progressive approach to dentistry. At the end of my first appointment, I expressed my effort to live with low waste practices, and was met with a zero-waste giveaway bag filled with eco-floss and a bamboo toothbrush in a reusable canvas bag. I am grateful for this practice and am very happy that I made the switch. I encouraged my partner, family and friends to also make the switch.

I am adding an additional review after a 5/5 visit once again. This is my 3rd time in and I continue to be amazed by the level of service and attention to detail. I absolutely love being able to visually review my appointment before and after photos :)

I recently started going to this dentist and let me tell you, they have been the most thorough, friendliest and easy to work with dentist that I've ever been to. I get lots of reminders for my appointments, they are usually able to accommodate my last minute requests which I frequently have since my life is very busy. Sharareh is my usual dentist and she has been absolutely wonderful! So gentle, kind and always asks me lots of questions to make sure all of my dental needs are met. If you're looking for a new dentist I highly recommend Junction Family Dental Care!!!

- Sunita Pace

My kids aren't big fans of having their teeth worked on, but they're not hesitant at the Junction. The aroma upon entry instantly calms you with the natural essential oils, and the always-friendly staff happily greets my family at every visit. They're learning to take better care of their teeth due to detailed instructions from their highly-trained hygienists and dentists that they can apply daily at home. It's always a bonus for us when they leave their appointments with no cavities!!

- S Simonelli

I am fortunate enough to have been getting dentistry work done all my life, but I have NEVER been to a dentist office that is this attentive and client focused. Every time I go I feel like I'm going to the spa. I have had cleaning, x-rays, and fillings done here and there is nowhere else (except for during massages) where I feel so looked after and prioritized. Thank you Junction Family Dental team. You guys are the absolute best.

- Willow Weber

Today was our first visit with my little one and I have to share this is such a wonderful place! From the moment I made my first call - the entire staff is so kind, caring and patient. Truly a Holistic dental office- which is very important to me as well. I have decided to transfer my whole family to The Junction Family Dental office. Grateful to have found them! ♡
