Choosing the Best Doctor for Your Wisdom Tooth Surgery
The most important qualifications for any oral surgeon are board certification and experience. Even with the best intentions, an uncertified or inexperienced surgeon can severely mismanage your treatment. A poorly executed tooth extraction can leave patients with nerve damage, serious infection, and weeks of pain during their healing period.
‘’Certified by both the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology, Dr. Grellner has been practicing as an oral surgeon for more than three decades..’’
Another important factor is specialization. Many general dentists perform tooth extractions as part of a broad spectrum of dental services. But while they are capable of performing the procedure, oral surgery is not their specialty. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, however, have considerably more experience performing extractions and other surgeries on a regular basis. Consequently, they can offer more accurate, reliable results than general dentists can.

Easier, Gentle Recovery
Your Timing Is So Important
As a result of our many years of experience in doing so, there is an “age” at which removal of the wisdom teeth is easiest, involves the shortest amount from beginning to end, and less risk than later in life.
That could be the best gift of all. As a parent, wouldn’t that feel good?
(Dr. G: “I did this for both of my kids early in their high school careers, and yes, it was very satisfying to know that they would never have to worry about their wisdom teeth becoming a problem while away at college, starting a new career, or ever again”)
Soon-To-Be-Patient
While there are a host of other problems that can also arise from wisdom teeth, pain is frequently an indicator of infection that may need to be dealt with first.

Parent
Once a problem starts to appear with wisdom teeth, it adds time, expense, risk, and inconvenience to the entire experience.
The older the patient and the more valuable his/her time is when problems appear, the costlier the loss of time to fix the problem (as well as your time accompanying him/her). He also strives to keep the cost of wisdom tooth extraction affordable for your budget. You can know you made a good decision choosing Dr. Grellner as your surgeon.
I would like to highly recommend Dr. Theodore J. Grellner and his staff. All four of my children have had their wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Grellner. All were treated with great care and all had no difficulties after their teeth were extracted. They were back in their routines in a very timely manner. All have beautiful smiles. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with all four of their results! Thank you Dr. Grellner!

Choosing the Best Doctor for Your Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Finding the right surgeon for a wisdom tooth extraction can ensure an easy recovery and lower your risk of post-surgical complications. With extensive surgical training and decades of experience, Dr. Theodore Grellner can reliably perform accurate, comfortable wisdom tooth surgery for patients. Furthermore, his development of the QuickRecover anesthesia technique has almost completely eliminated post-procedural discomfort caused by general anesthesia.
A Qualified Wisdom Tooth Surgeon
Since 2012, Dr. Grellner has also served as Courtesy Clinical Assistant Professor of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. This honor has not only given him the opportunity to further hone his technique through demonstration, but has also allowed him to incorporate more accurate technology into his regular practice. The more precise the treatment, the more comfortable and successful it is for the patient.
The QuickRecover Technique
Dr. Grellner will closely monitor your dosage to ensure you receive the right amount. Because the amount of anesthesia tailored to the individual’s needs, this approach substantially reduces post-procedure recovery time. Rather than wait out the effects over several hours, patients often recover in as little as 10 to 20 minutes. With QuickRecover, patients can avoid prolonged periods of uncomfortable dizziness and nausea.
A Compassionate Approach
In addition to developing more comfortable techniques, Dr. Grellner strives to remain as responsive as possible to patient concerns. If you are uncertain or anxious about treatment, he will walk you through it beforehand, answering any questions to help you prepare. He can also make adjustments to accommodate your needs.

Ensuring the Best Wisdom Tooth Removal Experience Possible
Although wisdom tooth removal is a health-oriented procedure, there is no reason it should not be a comfortable one. Dr. Theodore Grellner strives to ensure the best wisdom tooth removal experience possible in a comfortable environment at his specialized Tampa, FL, office. Your surgery will be planned and executed to minimize post-surgical discomfort and reduce the risk of potential complications.
A Comfortable Experience
Many patients are anxious about even simple dental treatments. The risk of oral surgery adds a layer of further discomfort. With a history of unpleasant experiences in the dentist’s chair himself, Dr. Grellner deeply emphasizes with that anxiety. Consequently, patient comfort forms a cornerstone of his practice. To this end, he focuses on three specific factors: timing, anesthesia, and technique.
3 Factors to Consider When Removing Wisdom Teeth
Timing
Dr. Grellner and his team encourage removing wisdom teeth as soon as possible, usually when a patient is still a teenager. This is recommended even if problems have not already developed. The reason is simple: early wisdom tooth removal considerably reduces the risk of surgery. Complications of wisdom teeth can range from mild pain to jaw fracture, permanent nerve damage, and injury to the joint connecting the jaw and skull. However, there is a two to three year period when patients are teenagers during which risk is much lower. By operating during that brief window, Dr. Grellner reduces both surgical risk and post-procedural discomfort.
No matter your age, however, Dr. Grellner will do everything possible to ensure a successful and gentle procedure. Many of our patients have appreciated his level of care and attention. Even if you have put off having wisdom teeth removed, you can benefit from his efficient, compassionate care.
Anesthesia
In order to minimize side effects and speed recovery, Dr. Greller has developed a special anesthetic technique called QuickRecover for faster, easier recovery. Using a special pump, he can deliver micro-doses of anesthesia to a patient throughout their appointment rather than administering it all at once. This method allows more customized doses and, consequently, a smoother experience. Not only does QuickRecover virtually eliminate prolonged dizziness or nausea, it can reduce post-anesthesia recovery to as little as 10 to 20 minutes.
