Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons patients are referred to an oral surgeon. Whether they are impacted, partially erupted, or causing crowding, removing them early can help prevent discomfort, infection, and long-term complications. Dr. Martin takes a proactive and thoughtful approach, using detailed imaging and clear explanations to help patients understand what’s happening and why removal may be recommended. The goal is always to protect the surrounding teeth while making the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Dental Extractions

Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved due to damage, infection, or structural concerns. In these situations, dental extractions are performed carefully to relieve discomfort and protect overall oral health. Dr. Martin prioritizes preserving as much natural structure as possible, only recommending extraction when it is truly the best option. When removal is necessary, patients are guided through every step, including replacement options such as implants when appropriate.

Tooth Infection & Abscess Treatment

Tooth infections and abscesses can escalate quickly if left untreated. These conditions may cause swelling, pressure, and spreading infection that affects surrounding tissue and bone. Treatment focuses on eliminating infection, relieving discomfort, and preventing further complications. Dr. Martin evaluates each case carefully to determine whether surgical drainage, extraction, or additional treatment is the best path forward.

Impacted Tooth Exposure

When a tooth is unable to erupt properly, often due to crowding or positioning, impacted tooth exposure may be recommended. This is commonly performed in coordination with orthodontic treatment to help guide the tooth into proper alignment. Dr. Martin works closely with referring providers to ensure a seamless process, helping patients achieve both functional and aesthetic outcomes with minimal disruption.

Oral Pathology

Changes in the mouth, such as unusual lesions, sores, or tissue growths, should always be evaluated carefully. Oral pathology focuses on diagnosing and treating these conditions to ensure nothing serious is overlooked. Dr. Martin performs biopsies and evaluations with precision and care, helping patients understand findings clearly and guiding them toward the appropriate next steps if treatment is needed.

Apicoectomy

When a traditional root canal is not enough to resolve infection, an apicoectomy may be recommended. This procedure removes infection at the tip of the tooth root while preserving the rest of the natural tooth. Dr. Martin uses advanced techniques to address the source of the issue while maintaining as much healthy structure as possible, helping patients avoid full tooth loss whenever feasible.

Frenectomy (Tongue and Lip Tie Release)

A frenectomy is a simple procedure that releases tight tissue under the tongue or lip that may restrict movement. This can affect feeding, speech, oral development, and overall comfort. Whether performed for infants, children, or adults, the goal is to restore natural function with a gentle, efficient approach. Dr. Martin carefully evaluates each case to determine whether treatment will provide meaningful improvement.

Oral Surgery in Chicago – FAQs

How does a patient know if oral surgery is needed?

Many patients are referred by their general dentist after imaging or an exam reveals a concern. In some cases, symptoms like swelling, persistent discomfort, or difficulty chewing may also indicate the need for evaluation. A consultation allows Dr. Martin to clearly explain what is happening and whether treatment is recommended.

Is oral surgery uncomfortable?

Procedures are performed using local anesthesia and, when appropriate, sedation options to help patients remain relaxed. Most patients feel mild pressure during treatment rather than discomfort, with mild soreness afterwards that improves within a few days.

How long does recovery typically take?

Recovery depends on the procedure, but many patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. More involved treatments may require additional healing time, and detailed instructions are always provided to support a smooth recovery.

Are sedation options available?

Yes. Several sedation options are available, ranging from local anesthesia to deeper forms including general anesthesia. These options are thoroughly discussed during the consultation so that each patient can choose what feels most comfortable.

What should patients expect during their consultation?

Consultations are designed to be informative and supportive. Dr. Martin reviews imaging, explains findings using visual aids, answers questions thoroughly, and develops a personalized treatment plan. Patients are given the time and attention they need to feel confident in their decision.

Can multiple procedures be performed at once?

In many cases, yes. Combining procedures can reduce the number of visits and lessen the necessary recovery time. Dr. Martin carefully evaluates whether this approach is appropriate based on each patient’s needs and overall health.

Patient Stories

Real Reviews from Real Patients

“By far the most professional and positive experience I’ve had with any medical professional. I had my wisdom teeth removed, and during my consultation, Dr. Martin thoroughly explained my upcoming procedure, the risks, and the benefits of the removal. He also discussed any and all concerns I had regarding the surgery. On the day of the procedure, I was very nervous, but everyone was so kind and made me feel very comfortable!”

Jenna

“My expectations with Dr. Martin were very high after reading his impressive medical education and experience in implant surgery. My recent serious tooth removal went exceedingly well from the moment we met through a most painless and perfect procedure in my opinion. He was very reassuring that everything would go well after patiently answering my questions and making sure I was doing fine as he carefully and confidently removed the complete tooth smoothly without any complications. When I asked how the procedure was going after a short time, he said to my complete surprise that he was done. I was very thankful for his 1st class service in every way. A truly great doctor, I really appreciated!”

Bill

“Very impressed and came away very positive. Dr Martin’s practice was recommended by my regular dentist when there was no other choice regarding my wisdom tooth. This was a last choice decision for me, and Dr Martin has put me at ease. I feel very confident with him, with this decision regarding my oral procedure, and would recommend Dr Martin’s office to anyone who asks for oral surgery
Very happy with the results. Recovery was painless. I’m happy with my results and happy with my dentist’s recommendation. Dr Martin and his assistants are so professional. I highly recommend anyone looking for an oral surgeon.”

I highly recommend Oral Facial & Implant Specialist to anyone in search of top-notch orthopedic care.

Asta

“Very professional and caring surgical team. I had to have all four of my wisdom teeth extracted and was very nervous about the procedure. Dr. Martin and his team were quick to comfort and reassure me that everything was in good hands. Surgery itself was incredibly quick and relatively painless. I was provided everything I needed post- surgery, and all in all, the cost was reasonable after insurance kicked in. So glad I went to Dr. Martin for my procedure!”

Justin

“Dr. Stephen Martin, DMD, was simply fantastic! He took the time to clearly explain all of my alternatives, including their benefits and dangers, which really increased my confidence in my decision. He made me feel quite at ease during the entire process, and his calm, professional demeanor really stood out. The office staff was equally amazing—friendly, encouraging, and always willing to assist. Each of my questions was thoroughly answered. I will absolutely suggest Dr. Martin and his colleagues to anyone who requires oral or maxillofacial surgery.”

“I have been a patient of Dr Martin and his staff for several procedures over the past five years. The experience begins with a front desk that is helpful and professional. They quickly route me to the proper support staff member. The equipment is truly state-of-the-art, and the support staff quickly accomplishes the initial exam. Dr. Martin then provides a thorough background and options for my treatment. He is thorough and professional, while still being friendly and responsive. I have had excellent results from the treatments and highly recommend this practice.”

“While no one looks forward to oral surgery, Dr. Martin and his entire staff made the experience far more comfortable.
