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.

Patient Review

Dr Michaelis is the best doctor I could ever ask for. He painlessly removed my wisdom teeth and believe me I was scared. I would highly recommend him.

Patient Review

Reviews because I believe in privacy but Dr. Michaelis deserves a lot of credit on this because I was very hesitant to seeing a oral surgeon , but I know i needed to. He put me at ease and described in great detail on what he will be doing and why it was important. Based on his demeanor and confidence and my research on him it was a no brainer as he is one of the best if not the best oral surgeon in California. I am beyond happy with my results

I was referred to Dr. Kriwanek to have a wisdom tooth extracted. He answered all my questions and put me at ease. He is highly skilled and kind. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and professional oral surgeon and a friendly staff, you have come to the right place.
