Safe, comfortable wisdom teeth removal in Union Square — performed by Dr. Marcello Guglielmi, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with over a decade of experience.
While most adult mouths have enough space in their jaws to accommodate 32 teeth, those who don’t often have to get some or all of their 4 wisdom teeth removed when they become “impacted.”
A normal human adult has a total of 4 wisdom teeth, 2 in the top row and 2 in the bottom row. These wisdom teeth can become impacted when there’s not enough space for them to erupt properly.
As a result, they get stuck in the jaw bone without fully emerging and can cause swelling, pain, discomfort, and even infection in the surrounding teeth. The best thing to do then is to extract these teeth before they cause any more damage.
If you are experiencing tooth pain, or pain in a specific section of your mouth please don’t hesitate to contact Smile Lab in Union Square for a prompt wisdom tooth removal. Remember, the earlier you opt for a removal, the less pain you have to suffer.

At Smile Lab NY here in Union Square, Manhattan, we take every precaution necessary to ensure your wisdom tooth removal is 100% safe, pain-free, and effective. We also do our utmost to be as transparent as we can with our patients during every consultation.
In fact, in the spirit of transparency, here’s Dr. Marcello Guglielmi’s precise wisdom teeth removal process.
Before heading into surgery, Dr. Marcello will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth to pinpoint the location of your wisdom teeth. This may occasionally involve an X-ray.
The dentist will use specialized surgical instruments to slowly loosen and ease your tooth out of the bone.
Immediately after the procedure, the patient may be given gauze to bite down to help in developing a blood clot. Next, the patient will be put into the recovery room until the sedatives wear off and the breathing rate becomes normal.
Impacted wisdom teeth don’t resolve on their own — they cause more damage, more pain, and more expensive problems the longer they’re left untreated. The good news? Dr. Marcello can have you evaluated and on a clear path to relief this week.
Wisdom teeth rarely announce themselves politely. Here’s what to watch for.
A dull, throbbing ache or sharp pressure at the very back of your jaw is one of the most common and telling signs that your wisdom teeth are impacted and pushing against surrounding teeth. Many patients initially mistake it for a regular toothache — but if the pain is concentrated toward the back of your mouth and keeps coming back, your wisdom teeth are almost certainly the cause. Don’t wait for it to get worse.
As impacted wisdom teeth push against neighboring teeth, they can cause your other teeth to shift and crowd — undoing years of orthodontic work and changing the way your bite feels. If your teeth seem to be moving, your bite feels different than it used to, or your teeth look more crowded than before, impacted wisdom teeth may be the hidden cause. An X-ray at Smile Lab Dentistry will confirm it quickly.
At Smile Lab, you’re not just a patient number.
You’re cared for by a collaborative team of highly trained specialists who actually talk to each other about your treatment.

Wisdom teeth usually develop and emerge in the 17-21 age range. This is also the best age to get the impacted wisdom teeth removed before they cause any permanent damage to the surrounding teeth.
That said, wisdom teeth removal is a delicate procedure that requires an expert’s hand to ensure that it doesn’t end up causing more pain and discomfort than before. Also, to ensure that it doesn’t end up causing irreversible damage to your gums or jaw bone, resulting in the need for an even pricier surgical procedure.
