Four Reasons to Choose Dr. Bonine for Your Wisdom Teeth

  1. We Use Non-Opioid Pain Medications With Excellent Results
    We recognize that opioids have their place but our strategy and our focus is to be effectively non-opioid. We have been a leader using powerful, effective non-opioid pain medications with excellent outcomes since 1985. In fact, most patients report that they are never worse than sore.
  2. Anti-Swelling Medications Reduce “Chipmunk Cheeks”
    Dr. Bonine will provide anti-swelling medications at the time of the procedure and afterwards to virtually eliminate those unsightly swollen cheeks.
  3. Your Own Platelet Rich Fibrin Speeds Up the Healing Process
    In the latest medical technology breakthrough, we use your body’s own platelet rich fibrin to enhance the healing process. Platelet rich fibrin speeds up the healing process, it reduces swelling, and it reduces overall discomfort.
  4. Your Choice of Anesthesia Options
    To keep you comfortable during the procedure, you’ll have the option to choose IV sedation to be slightly sedated, or general anesthesia to be completely asleep during the procedure.



According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), optimal results occur when wisdom teeth are removed by age 17 and best results with fewest complications occur up to age 25. Researchers have found that the risk of complications from surgery only increases with age.

By the Numbers and Other Facts to Consider

When Is the Best Age to Remove Wisdom Teeth?
With wisdom teeth, sooner is better than later. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), optimal results occur when wisdom teeth are removed by age 17 and best results with fewest complications occur up to age 25. Researchers have found that the risk of complications from surgery only increases with age.

When Is the Best Time to Have Wisdom Teeth Removed?
The best time is when it’s convenient for you and for them. Many families like to schedule wisdom teeth removal when their student is at home during school breaks: Holidays, Spring Break, and over the Summer vacation break.

Damage From Wisdom Teeth To Other Teeth And Gums
Wisdom teeth can also cause damage to your teeth, gums and bone. In fact, oral surgeons report that 24% of their patients have had wisdom teeth that have damaged other teeth. Moreover, 42% of patients exhibit gum damage from adjacent wisdom teeth. Finally, not removing your wisdom teeth increases your risk for gum disease and diseases of your entire mouth over 3X.

How Long Does the Procedure Last?
The removal of a wisdom tooth or impacted tooth is a minor surgical operation. The entire surgery may last for a series of minutes, depending on the difficulty of the procedure, with the whole appointment taking an hour or so.

3D Cone Beam Technology: Precise Planning for Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Cone beam imagery provides us with an in-depth, detailed look at the hidden places inside your mouth. When evaluating impacted teeth, the 3D images can help Dr. Bonine plan a wisdom tooth extraction, assess risk, visualize vital nerves, and determine if a wisdom tooth is too close in proximity to the mandibular nerve. This leading edge technology helps lower the risk of surgery complications and leads to a better, safer outcome for the patient.

Wisdom Teeth Are Often Silently Infected Later in Life

Research indicates that 33% of all patients who still have a wisdom tooth showing are already suffering from a “silent infection” by the age of 25. “Silent infections” affect not only your mouth, teeth and gums but your whole body health. These painless, longstanding infections have been linked to heart disease, stroke, and low birth weight pregnancies. Just because you don’t have pain now doesn’t mean that you don’t have a wisdom tooth problem or an infected tooth. Dr. Bonine will help you determine if you have a silent infection, or if you are likely to develop one.
