it's been six months since i had my wisdom teeth removed here by dr. jelmini, and I can confidently…read moresay that my experience was wonderful. the healing was smooth with no complications, and I was back to eating pre-surgery within weeks. if you're reading this, you may also be like me and have the largest amount of anxiety thinking about needing surgery. honestly, my dentist when I was in my teens casually mentioned you probably want to get your wisdom teeth removed at some point, but one came in fully and they never were a bother so it was one of those things you can file away and forget about. until you can't. in my late 20s now, I suddenly had gum pain near one of my wisdom teeth. dentist took one look and explained the tooth was rubbing against the gum trying to grow in and will keep this irritation cycle going -- the solution long term is removal. yikes! I spent a lot of time scouring the inter webs trying to find a trustable oral surgeon and my search led me to Three Rivers. I had originally planned on getting a second opinion, but honestly, there was no need. the first appointment was a consult. I had a pano X-ray taken and then dr. jelmini went over the X-ray, agreeing that I should remove them. he patiently answered my antsy questions, reassuring me with honesty about what to expect. we talked about anesthesia options, and me being the antsy person I am, decided upon IV sedation. I was curious about PRF because I'm quite the science nerd and had been reading about this optional add-on, and dr. jelmini was more than happy to honor my request. a few days before the big day, prescriptions for helping with pain and nausea were sent over to the pharmacy. the big day came and I was SO nervous! the thought of going under! the whole process was so smooth. I checked in, took care of payment and then waited a couple minutes before being called back. Lindsay was so patient noticing my stress. honestly, everyone here was so calm and professional and it really helped calm my nerves. before I knew it, the IV was in, dr. jelmini asked how I was doing, and--- I was out! seriously, when you hear people say propofol is like a nap, they aren't kidding. I honestly have no recollection of the moment I was given propofol and it felt like a minute later and I was waking up. very groggy. the whole procedure must have been what 45 minutes tops? plan on getting lots of rest. I was so pleasantly surprised to see dr. jelmini call later in the day to make sure I was doing okay. make sure you follow the post-op advice for a smooth recovery! every day got better exponentially, and within a few days I was feeling more like myself. it just takes a bit of time to get used to the modified diet for a few weeks. I'm so glad I'm on the other side of wisdom teeth surgery, but if I could, I'd tell my younger self that it'll be okay and you're in good hands with the professional and kind staff at Three Rivers. Dr. Jelmini had excellent bedside manners, understands the anxiousness and knows what he's doing. I really appreciate how all the doctors here are up to date on the latest science, presenting regularly at conferences. Thank you, Three Rivers! I sincerely hope I never need oral surgery ever again, but thank you for advancing the field with kindness!

Procedure- Just had…read moremy wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Tenhulzen,, nothing but praise. I only needed my two upper teeth removed, so the procedure was on the less intense side of wisdom teeth extractions. Appointment was at 10:40, procedure lasted 20 minutes, 30 mins to come out of anesthesia and I was out getting a milkshake by noon. Tenhulzen and staff were quick, no-nonsense operators with a high degree of professionalism. Their wisdom teeth experience was evident with how efficient the entire procedure was, I'm not the kind of person to get caught up on sappy bedside manner, so I appreciated how very little time was wasted. In, out and on with life. Post-OP- I have very little pain or swelling, the post-operative instructions were clear and detailed. Slightly sore jaw but I've been able to eat soft foods with ease. Importantly to me is that I've been able to maintain a clear head with the drug regimen they prescribed, I'm now enjoying a very comfortable recovery.

They were quick and professional and knew how to handle my pre-surgery anxiety. Do not be strayed by his office which could use a little updating (decor is a little outdated), the skill and integrity of this doctor is what you're really in there for! I was out of surgery quickly and had a pleasant weekend, despite being stuck in bed. Due to my sensitivity to anesthesia as a kid (nausea), he came up with a series of drugs for me to take instead of the regular four prescriptions, easing the experience even more. About three hours after surgery I received a surprise at my door from his office, totally unexpected and melted my heart. That evening the doctor himself called my phone at 7 pm to check in and see how I was doing--a doctor who will stay late on a friday to personally call his patients is a doctor dedicated to his practice. As for dry sockets, I did a lot of research on doctors in the area before my surgery because I was terrified of dry sockets. What I learned (in my experience) is they are the result of how you handle your aftercare. If you're walking around and over-exertering yourself after surgery you will disrupt the clots and that's why you get dry sockets, not because of the doctor. I stayed in bed, and did not have any issues.

She came through the procedure with flying colors and now says that Chenoah is her new dentist. Highly recommend this practice for even young pediatric clientele!

I'm only ever here when I have something catastrophic going on with my teeth (stating the obvious),…read moreand this last time it was a very infected tooth where the infection was taking out bone, affecting my sinuses, etc. I was a mess, because my teeth hate me. Dr. Swiderski told me that TWO teeth needed to be pulled, because the one next to Bad Tooth was loose (fine, just a little) and the infection had basically caused too much bone loss. As is my way, I tried to air a grievance about this (and yes, I actually said "I'd like to air a grievance!"), noting that my Googling was surely as good as Dr. Swiderski's several advanced degrees and his prestigious residency at the Mayo Clinic. Perhaps not surprisingly, I was shot down, albeit nicely considering I was of course talking nonsense. All of the assistants are wonderful too, as I kept warning them that "I'm a baby about this stuff" and "it takes a lot of novocaine to work" and making the sad face of dread. Oh, and the x-ray apparatus they have is very high-tech! Regular plates hurt my mouth because I have mandibular tori (which I didn't even know weren't normal until I was an adult), but here they have a whirring machine that rotates and magically takes x-rays. Also, because I have a lot of stuff going on with my teeth, I was happy that Dr. S. mentioned cost, as in "let's triage and get the most critical stuff taken care of first" - not because he knew anything about my financial situation, but because dental/medical stuff is expensive and most insurance (including mine) has ridiculously low caps on what they'll pay out in total for dentistry. So, the point. This was a complicated dental surgery because so much of the bone was eaten away and it involved two teeth and I'm a wimp about anything dental-related....but I'll have to go back for follow up and probably bone grafting, and I actually don't dread it. That's how nice everyone there is, and how hard they work to make sure this is as pain-free as possible, so much unlike the root canal sadistic nightmares of my youth. It's also nice of Dr. Swiderski to check in the evening after surgery to make sure we're doing okay. Overall, if you need dental surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Swiderski and crew!

They originally weren't able to schedule me until sometime in January but I told them was really hoping to get this done by the end of the year and much to my surprise they later called to offer me an appointment for December 29. One thing they warned me about at my initial consult was that the cone beam CT scan they were going to perform was likely to not be covered by insurance and that I might need to pay the $185 cost out of pocket. This turned out not to be the case but I appreciated the heads up and would have gladly paid it had insurance not covered it. As for the surgery itself, literally the most painful part was when they put the IV in. I was 37 at the time so I was a little worried I might not heal as well as a more typical younger patient but this didn't turn out to be the case. Post-op pain for me was pretty much zero the first couple days and peaked around 4-5 days after but was never much more than an annoyance which I easily managed with ibuprofen.
