Wisdom Teeth
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. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.
When it comes to the evaluation and treatment of wisdom teeth in Northwest Indiana, Dr. Platt and his team are experts on the subject. Wisdom teeth need to be evaluated early on, even before they ever cause any problems, to determine if they need to be removed for the overall well-being of your oral health.

My 17 year old was completely at ease and the staff was wonderful with her. Dr. Platt even called later in the day to check up on her.

Over 10 years ago Dr. Jay Platt took out my wisdom teeth and did an awesome job. I was awake for the procedure and was never uncomfortable. Today, I'm a practicing dentist in Merrillville and I have the opportunity to collaborate on complex cases with him and have him as my mentor. He's extremely talented as a surgeon and is also a great leader in the dental community. As someone who has seen him work both as a patient and a colleague, I can't recommend him highly enough.

Incredibly happy with everyone there. The overly friendliness and patience of everyone helps so much to make me feel less worried. I can be a pain in the butt! You all are great!
