Impacted Wisdom Teeth
decides whether your wisdom teeth need to be removed or not.
Many patients ask us about the importance of removing wisdom teeth which are not causing them pain. Asymptomatic third molars are not the same thing as disease-free third molars. Wisdom teeth which are not causing active pain, swelling, infection or other symptoms are described as “asymptomatic”, meaning there are no symptoms. The term asymptomatic third molars does not indicate that there is no disease, just no symptoms. Research and studies beginning almost fifty years ago have been one of the most valuable sources of information regarding the potential for disease in third molars, the frequency of problematic conditions, and demonstrates the linking of third molars to conditions such as periodontal disease, cysts and tumors and bone infection (osteomylitis).
Click on the link above to download the AAOMS Whitepaper titled “Advocacy White Paper on Evidence Based Third Molar Surgery” to find out more about how your oral surgeon decides whether your wisdom teeth should be left in place or removed.

Dental Implants for Le$$? What is the Catch?
Here’s a question we’ve been hearing quite often lately. How can Dr. Weinstein offer dental implants for so much less than I’ve been quoted by other offices? By paying less, I must be giving up something important such as implant success, the surgeon’s level of expertise or the quality of the dental implant, right?
Don’t Compromise Experience and a Superior Product!

Thommen Medical SPI dental implants
As a high volume dental implant surgeon, Dr. Weinstein is in a unique position to provide his patients with the same high quality, successful dental implant hardware system that he has used for the last 10 years with incredible success. The only difference is the cost. With over 30 years experience in placing dental implants, Dr. Weinstein has researched and used many of today’s popular dental implant systems, often serving on a team who evaluated the systems before their release in the U.S. Dental implants have a success rate of about 97% over 47 years of research. Dr Weinstein has used the Thommen SPI Dental Implant for almost 10 years. Thommen Medical is a Swiss company headquartered in Waldenburg, Switzerland. “I have noticed that I have actually had an increase in my success rate for dental implants since using the Thommen system”, says Dr. Weinstein.
All dental implant systems function in the same basic manner
- The implant is placed into the bone without trauma to the bone
- The implant itself is made of a material which will not be rejected by the body and is inert such as titanium.
- The implant is given an afunctional healing period of 2-4 months after initial placement before applying a functional load on the implant.

With Dental Implants, you can eat,laugh,talk and smile again with confidence!
A Simple Premise:
Dr. Weinstein offers dental implants for a lower fee than many dental implant specialists because he feels that the best treatment options with the highest success rates should not be priced out of reach for the average patient. When dental implants are easier to afford, patients are more likely to make decisions about their oral health that will be successful long term, provide the most desired results and have the greatest impact on their quality of life.
No more band-aids! You can afford to have your teeth fixed once and for all.
Our fees for dental implants do not include a substantial markup. We charge just what we need to cover our costs and make a modest profit. Dr. Weinstein believes in dental implants as the gold standard for tooth replacement and wants every patient to have access to this great treatment option. The bottom line is that our patients do not compromise quality of care, procedure success or appearance for cost. In fact, most of our patients find that they receive a superior level of patient service, compassion and personal attention from our team. The only thing affected by our lower fee is the income for the practice.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction
If only wisdom teeth made us smarter! These large molars are the last teeth to erupt in the jaw – if they erupt at all. Oftentimes, they becomes impacted, which means that they get stuck in bone or gum tissue. Pain, cyst formation, and infection can occur if this happens. (more…)

Why Choose Dental Implants?
People who are missing some teeth or all of their teeth experience a number of problems which can dramatically affect their quality of life, dental function and appearance. When a patient is missing teeth or wearing a partial denture or a denture, a unique set of problems can occur. Chewing on the front teeth to compensate for missing back teeth can cause excessive wear and misuse of the front teeth; leading to premature tooth loss. People who are missing all of their teeth will experience loss of the jaw bone height and depth over time, resulting in a “sunk –in” facial appearance, impeded speech and an inability to keep a denture securely in place. Loose dentures, missing teeth and bone loss are all great reasons to consider dental implants for a more functional and natural restorative option.
Some of the concerns of people who wear dentures and partial dentures are:
- Inability to eat certain foods
- Partial loss of sense of “taste” due to upper dentures
- Dentures that click, move or fall out during normal speech and eating
These concerns can be very embarrassing for denture wearers and have an adverse affect on quality of life. Dental Implants can eliminate some, if not all of these problems be replacing the missing teeth.
Dental implants are used to replace a single missing tooth or a full mouth of missing teeth. The implants function in such a way that preserves the jaw bone and prevents excessive bone loss. Dental implants function the same as natural teeth and are a permanent solution for patients experiencing the embarrassment and dysfunction of missing teeth.
One of the most attractive attributes for dental implants is that they are 97% successful, going back over 47 years of research. This means that people who choose dental implants will likely not have to replace them over time as they do other dental work. Because dental implants are a versatile and successful treatment option, more people than ever before are taking advantage of this option.
What about the Cost of Dental Implants?
While dental implants are not the least expensive treatment option, they are by far the longest lasting and most successful. Many oral surgeons and other implant dentistry specialists have begun to offer low cost dental implants and other incentives to make this treatment option more budget friendly. In some cases, a dental implant can be placed in the jaw for a similar cost as a “bridge”. This is great news for people who want the best options available.
