Wisdom Teeth

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.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial

I could go on and on about the staff and Dr. Jacob. I had 4 teeth extracted in one day with only local anesthesia, but the experience was not at all what you would expect. The staff greeted me with smiles on the day of the surgery, got me comfortable and explained (again) what would be done, gave me headphones to listen to music and then the doctor went to work. As he was working he kept encouraging me and telling me how well I was doing! It's so rare that a doctor with all his credentials is also humble and kind! Dr. Jacob even personally called me that evening to see how I was doing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'll definitely use their services again and I'd recommend this office to all my friends and family. Thank you all again! 🙂
