COVID-19 Update from Sioux Falls Smiles

To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about coronavirus in public places, even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

It has been a very difficult decision, but we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community, our team, and our patients that we not see patients for the time being.

If you do have a scheduled appointment, we will be reaching out to you directly to get you rescheduled to a future date.

This is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you … and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at 605-250-4651.

Sincerely,

Dr. Valerie Drake
Sioux Falls Smiles

Rely On Our Expertise For Your Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Your wisdom teeth, or “third molars” as they are also called, usually begin to emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. They can often come through with no problems; however, for some people these teeth put their oral health at risk.

Wisdom teeth can cause crowding, pain, and damage to your other teeth and gums. Plus, if they only emerge partially, they can be difficult to keep clean and free of trapped food particles, which can lead to tooth decay.

If your wisdom teeth are causing you problems, the team here at Sioux Falls Smiles can help. We can handle your wisdom teeth extraction, no matter your situation. Even if they’re impacted, we have the experience and know-how to safely remove them.

Sedation Is Available to Help You Relax

When you visit us for your wisdom teeth procedure, you won’t have to worry about being uncomfortable. Aside from numbing your mouth, we offer you three levels of sedation, one of which will help you completely relax during your visit:

  • Inhaled Sedation – You’ll breathe in a sweet-smelling gas that will immediately begin to relax you from head to toe. This type of sedation is safe even for kids.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – Your dentist will prescribe an FDA-approved pill that you’ll take before your procedure. It will help you feel relaxed all over and maybe a little groggy.
  • IV Sedation – For our deepest level of sedation, we’ll put you in a “twilight” state. You won’t experience any of the sights, sounds, or smells of your procedure.

Common Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in. By that point, your jaw may not have enough space for them. This can create overcrowding and pain if they don’t have room to emerge properly. Sometimes, wisdom teeth are impacted or only partially emerge, which can make you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease as bacteria can get trapped there. Our dentists can let you know whether wisdom teeth removal is the best option for your dental health.

At our office, wisdom teeth extraction should not hurt. For starters, our dentists are highly skilled in this procedure and will use the latest technology to plan your surgery with extreme precision. We also make sure you are fully numb before we begin. On top of that, we can offer you sedation to keep you perfectly calm. With IV sedation, you will likely not even remember anything about your surgery as you’ll stay in a sleeplike state.

If you visit us for your regular six-month checkups, we will keep an eye on your wisdom teeth and will let you know if they need to be removed. Some people may have had wisdom teeth surgery recommended but put it off, while others have not been to the dentist for a long time and didn’t know they needed removal. In these situations, wisdom teeth extraction could be an emergency if you’re in pain.
