We often times hear patients recount stories of friends or family members who had their wisdom teeth removed and the doctor either had a "knee in their chest" or the recovery was long and painful. Experience and training are crucial to procedures like these. The right surgeon with the right amount of experience and training can take a complex third molar extraction that would take one doctor an hour and require surgical incisions and get it done in under ten minutes with no incision. Think about the difference in postoperative pain and recovery with the second doctor who gets it done so much quicker and easier.
