Wisdom Teeth Johnston RI

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.

Patient Review by Ryan F

Prior to visiting Dr. Young I had a bad experience with having a tooth extracted. I made Dr. Young and the staff aware of the anxiety I was facing about having all four wisdom teeth removed. Before rushing into anything they took the time to reassure and comfort me. The office has a relaxed and up beat atmosphere that made me feel as if I'd been coming for years. The procedure was quick and recovery is going better than ever expected. Dr Young came highly recommended and I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends and family. Thanks again Dr Young, Maria, Robin, and Brittany.

Patient Review by Perla S

I was referred to Dr. Steven Young by my brother. I recently had two of my wisdom teeth removed. Upon arrival, I was nervous. I've heard horror stories from friends about getting their wisdom teeth removed in the past and how painful the procedure can be. From the injections to the removal of the two teeth to the stitches - It was absolutely painless. Dr. Young and his assistant have a very calming and reassuring presence. Later that day I received a call to make sure everything was going good and see if I had any questions. He cares about his patient. Though the first night was uncomfortable, I began to feel better by the next day. The bleeding had stopped and I experienced minimal swelling. I would highly recommend Dr. Young I'd also like to say that the staff members in Dr. Young's office are very sweet, funny and attentive from the very first consultation. I knew I made a great choice by going there.

Patient Review by Kristen P

I recently had four wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Young's office staff scheduled my consultation quicker then any other oral surgeon in northern Rhode Island. The staff made me feel at ease. This was my first surgery ever. Dr. Young even called me that night to see how I was doing. Everyone was very professional and welcoming. I remember nothing about the actual procedure as I decided to recieve anesthesia. Recover was quick. After two days I no longer was in pain. I had very minimal swelling in my face. I would recommend Dr.Young to any family or friend!

Overall the experience was fantastic and who can say that about the nature of oral surgery. The front of office staff is friendly, caring, and passionate- a true pleasure to having had met. The woman in the front of the office is superb, memorable, and certainly stands out in comparison among others in the medical field. Procedure was easy and accurately reflected that which was described by the doctor in the consultation. All staff members are professional & competent! Will certainly recommend to everyone.

Patient Review by Grace K

I was terrified of having my wisdom teeth removed, but I could not have had a better experience with Dr. Young and everyone in his office. They were straightforward and friendly. One of the assistants even held my hand and reassured me seeing how anxious I was before the anesthesia. Afterwards, my family and friends were amazed at how little swelling I had, and it lessened everyday. Prescribed meds kept my pain under control, and by the third and fourth day I barely even had to use them. They left me with good instructions which I followed and have had no major pain or complications! I have had more discomfort after a regular tooth filling than I had after having 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. I would recommend this office to anyone!

Very professional doctor and supporting staff. Doctor was very gentle in my extractions and he followed up with a call the night of my surgery. The procedure was a complete success with virtually no pain and the healing process is well underway. Would certainly recommend Dr. Young to anyone requiring oral surgery.

Patient Review by Carol M.

Dr. Young and his staff were very professional, comforting , informative and kind. Dr. Young took his time to explain and answer all questions pertaining to wisdom teeth surgery.The video helped my daughter and I understand the procedure and the possible risks of the surgery. We had all of our questions answered and felt well-informed after the first visit. The only suggestion I would make would be for the patient to receive the prescriptions on the first visit instead of the day of surgery. In our case , we had to wait over a half hour to get the script filled. Howvever, we give Dr. Young and his staff 5 STARS .

Patient Review by Kristen P.

I was referred here 2 years ago for my older son. From the second I called until the day of his surgery we were treated with the utmost care! I had every question answered (and I ask a lot)! So, it was without question I would go back with my younger son. Same treatment, same care! Dr. Young and his staff, I love them!! What mom doesn't love a place where they know their child will be well cared for. Both their procedures went well. In recovery, every need was met and the time they spent with us going over what we needed to know was awesome. Plus, we got a call by the Doctor by the end of the day. I left there knowing what to expect over the next few weeks, given instructions that are easy to follow on paper and was repeatedly told to call with any concern I had.
