Wisdom Teeth Removal Dentist -The Dental Anesthesia Center
If wisdom teeth are causing a problem, they could be impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth can be extremely painful and harmful to oral health.
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that erupt in the back corners of the upper and lower healthy adult mouth. Unfortunately, most people experience problems with wisdom teeth. In most cases, the teeth erupt too close to existing permanent teeth, causing crowding, improper bites, and other problems.
Our final set, or third molars, are called “wisdom teeth” because they are the last teeth to emerge, and a person is older when they get them; you are presumably “wiser” when those teeth appear.
Searching for a new dental clinic is challenging for someone who has
dental anxiety, fear, and traumatic experiences in a dental chair. The staff and doctors at the Dental Anesthesia Center were immediately very welcoming. Dr. Thoms put together a very detailed plan to repair and replace the previous work that I had in the past that was now causing problems. Putting my faith in him was the best thing that I could have done for my situation. I am more than completely satisfied with all of the extensive dental work that I’ve had with Dr.Thoms. I had my fourth sleep dentistry experience yesterday and I’m very happy with my results. I highly recommend this practice and truly want to give them more than five stars! Thank you for giving me back my health and confidence.
I adding to this post because of my visit today with the best dental hygienist Delaina and my exam with Dr. Biehl. I have truly never been to such a caring and supportive dental group. Everyone is always conscientious of my needs and knows that I have issues with anxiety. I am always calm when I am sitting in the chair because of their kindness. I am so pleased with the Dental anesthesia center. There needs to be more than five stars. Thank you, everyone.

I am unusually tense about my appointments. However, from the moment I checked in I relaxed. The staff was welcoming and assuring, and helped me to relax completely. Dr. Hofmann is superb. He is by far the best dentist and dental surgeon I have ever ever experienced.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad our team helped create a welcoming and comforting experience. We appreciate you sharing your feedback!
I cannot thank this clinic enough for their amazing care. They completely accommodated my individual needs by letting him wait in the hallway where he had more room for his feet and space to pace. Instead of forcing him into a tiny exam room, the dentist came out to the hallway to check his mouth. It made the entire visit so much easier for him. Fantastic service!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your kind words! We're grateful for the opportunity to provide compassionate, individualized care and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Wishing you all the best!
Great experience! The staff went above and beyond to make my individual comfortable. They let him wait in the hallway so he could pace instead of staying in the crowded waiting room. The dentist even examined him right there. Highly recommend this accommodating team! Fantastic service!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind review! We appreciate your thoughtful words and are grateful you took the time to share your experience with our team.
Problems With Your Wisdom Teeth
If your wisdom teeth are causing a problem, they could be impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth can be extremely painful and harmful to your oral health. Symptoms are easy to spot:
severe discomfort
inflammation
certain kinds of infections
Many people need to have their wisdom teeth extracted to avoid future serious problems. The lack of four wisdom teeth does not hamper one’s ability to bite down, speak, or eat properly.
Symptoms of Impacted or Infected Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth that are impacted do not always cause symptoms. However, when a wisdom tooth becomes infected, damages adjacent teeth, or causes other dental issues, you may experience the following symptoms:
Tender or bleeding gums
Jaw pain
Facial swelling
Gum swelling
Difficulty opening your jaw
A constant unpleasant taste in your mouth
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your dentist right away.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
At The Dental Anesthesia Center, we will begin with an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and predict present or future complications. Studies indicate that early evaluation and treatment often result in a better outcome for the patient.
All outpatient surgery is performed under the appropriate anesthesia to maximize patient comfort. We are Missouri’s first two board-certified dental anesthesiologists, including in the St. Louis Metro Area. However, depending on the type of extraction you may need, Dr. Hoffmann or Dr. Behl may refer you to an oral surgeon for wisdom teeth removal.
