Wisdom Teeth Removal in Tribeca, NYC
I’m Dr. Nina Izhaky. When your teenager’s wisdom teeth need attention, the last thing you want is a referral slip to a stranger’s office. We have an oral surgeon right here at 54 Warren Street who removes wisdom teeth — evaluation, surgery, and follow-up, all with the team you already know.
Does every wisdom tooth need to come out?
No — and that’s exactly why the evaluation matters. At your visit, we take 3D imaging and look at what your wisdom teeth are actually doing. If yours are healthy, well-positioned, and easy to clean, we’ll tell you to keep them. If they’re a problem now or clearly becoming one, we’ll show you why on your own images.
Position.
Are they growing in straight, sideways, or trapped under the gum? Position decides a lot.
Crowding.
Will they push your other teeth out of alignment — especially after orthodontics?
Infection risk.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth are magnets for painful infections. We catch them before that starts.
Timing.
In teens and young adults the roots aren’t fully formed yet, which usually means an easier surgery and faster healing.
What the surgery is actually like
It’s more routine than you think — wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most common oral surgeries performed.
A real evaluation and 3D images.
We start with a wisdom-teeth evaluation and 3D imaging. You’ll see exactly what your teeth are doing, and we’ll give you a straight recommendation — remove or keep.
Surgery day, typically under an hour.
You’ll be fully numb, and we’ll discuss sedation options if you’re anxious. Most wisdom-tooth removals here take under an hour.
Recovery, honestly.
Plan on soft foods, some swelling for 2–3 days, and taking it easy — no straws, no intense workouts for a bit. You’ll get clear written instructions, and we’re a phone call away if anything feels off.
Follow-up with the same team.
Teens heal fastest — another reason we recommend a teen wisdom teeth evaluation in the late teens. Your follow-up happens right here, with the team that did the surgery.
Wisdom teeth + airway: the bigger picture
Here’s something most offices won’t mention: we evaluate your teen’s wisdom teeth alongside their airway. Our airway-focused orthodontist looks at how the jaws developed and whether the airway is narrow — one visit that covers both the wisdom-teeth question and their options for preventing sleep apnea as an adult. It’s the kind of joined-up thinking you only get when the whole team is under one roof.

Wisdom teeth questions, answered
01At what age should wisdom teeth be evaluated?
Mid to late teens is ideal — usually 16 to 19. The roots are still forming, which makes removal easier and recovery faster.
02Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
You’ll be completely numb during the procedure, and most patients manage post-surgery soreness with the medication we prescribe. The anticipation is almost always worse than the reality.
03How long is recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
Most people return to school or work within 2–4 days. Full healing of the sockets takes a few weeks, but you’ll feel normal well before that.
04What if only one wisdom tooth bothers me?
We’ll evaluate all four and give you an honest recommendation — sometimes it’s one, sometimes it’s smarter to address them together while you’re already healing.
05How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?
It depends on how many teeth and how complex the impaction is. We’ll give you an exact number at your evaluation, before anything is scheduled — and walk you through financing. We don’t bill insurance directly.
