Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. Wisdom teeth removal is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone.
Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to successfully erupt. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.

Services
We are pleased to offer our patients the latest imaging technology in dentistry in our office. Cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a type of x-ray machine used in situations where regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. This CT scanner is able to generate three dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan.
Your initial appointment with Dr. Sedaros, oral surgeon in Melbourne FL, will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
You may not have anything to eat or drink (including water) for eight (8) hours prior to the appointment. A responsible adult must accompany the patient to the office, remain in the office during the procedure, and drive the patient home. If the patient is a minor, a parent or legal guardian must accompany them on the day of surgery.

Took my daughter in prepared for 2 implants. Dr. Sedaros stopped before procedure and said he felt one of them could be saved. Sending us to another physician who did a wonderful job of doing just that. Looking forward to returning for the one implant to a physician who I can truly trust to do the best for my daughter. Having worked in the field of dentistry in the past I’m so grateful to find such a patient centered physician and office.

I highly recommend Dr. Sedaro and staff. I brought my two teenage sons in for a consultation. My oldest was a straight forward extraction. His wisdom teeth were removed without complications. The staff was very professional and caring during and called to check on him the following day. My youngest son did not have a straight forward extraction based on the x-ray view. He had impacted molar teeth that the orthodontist wanted to have uprooted. Dr. Sedaro said that a CT was recommended for a better view. There were some dental insurance issues with covering the CT but I went ahead and paid for it

Got my wisdom teeth removed today. Itnwas my first surgery and my first time going under on IV. I wont lie I was nervous. Really nervous. And accordingly to the doctor All four of my wisdom teeth were badly impacted, like completely sideways. So I go in, come to find out I wasn't suppose to eat or drink literally anything so they were gonna force.me to reschedule. I had been in constant daily pain to the point where it woke me up in the night. It was horrible. An hour later we called back and they were fully booked but regardless let me come back the same day a few hours later, aka Today. Apparently

I was not impressed. First call to confirm my appointment was supposed to be a consultation for surgery, the office staff said I was having surgery. Had to call my reg. Dentist to get it straightened out. Had me mixed up with different patient. Dr is very cold, arrogant, non interested. Did my tooth removal, took a half hour, I wasn't numb enough. My dentist sent over a new partial they did not have ready or knew about until I informed them.
Not impressed, will be going elsewhere to have my implant completed. Do not need this nonsense in my life. Office staff less than professional.

I was referred to Dr.Sedaros as a referral from another great dentist Holly Hamilton. At first I looked at the distance 46 minutes and was considering someone closer. But I went to the consult and was sold. He and his staff are so welcoming and comforting. My teeth were a mess because of dentist a phobia! But cracked teeth you cant ignore. Dr. Sedaros extracted 2 upper molars at 2pm today . Now I sit eating noodles no pain except a little in my cheek and the bleeding has stopped. I am sooo happy and grateful for this young charming well educated and professional young man and his terrifc staff

Very good choice for oral surgery. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Dr.Sedaros is fantastic and very informative. They allow you to make informed decisions, and explain everything they are doing.
I had three wisdom teeth taken out (one was taken out years ago). There were some issues with bleeding, and Dr.Sedaros would not let me leave until he knew that the bleeding was under control. They even had someone call and check on me the next day, even though it was a Saturday.
Great staff. Great Doctor. Will be suggesting this practice to anyone who needs major dental work.

Dr. Sedaros and his team were amazing. I was nervous going into surgery to get my wisdom teeth taken out. They made me feel very comfortable and calmed my nerves. Dr. Sedaros did an amazing job and I would refer his office to any of my family or friends. I have 5 wisdom teeth and had them all taken out. Following surgery, I had hardly any swelling and minor pain. I felt great afterward and a few hours after surgery I was able to feel more like my normal self with only minor pain. Dr. Sedaros is amazing!

My son was home from college and in great pain. We discovered he needed his wisdom teeth out asap. He was only home for 2 weeks before having to leave to go back to college and could not find anyone who would do it for us. After being referred to Dr. Sedaros, He and his amazing staff made all the necessary arrangements to get him in to have 4 teeth extracted and followed up to make sure he was okay all within those two weeks. They could have just said no but actually cared about what my son was going through. The procedure went very well. My son did not experience any swelling and minor pain. We

Both of my teenage daughters had their wisdom teeth out this Fall. Dr. Sedaros performed flawlessly and there were no complications. The surgeries were extremely quick and both daughters had a quick recovery even though they both had major teeth issues. The office staff and assistants were extremely pleasant and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Dr. Sedaros to anyone needing wisdom teeth surgery.
