When it comes to wisdom teeth removal, experience matters — a lot.
Choosing a board-certified oral surgeon instead of a general dentist could make all the difference in your safety, comfort, and recovery. Here’s why trusting specialists like Dr. J Gregory Sabol and Dr. Michael W. Golding at Oral & Facial Surgeons of Arizona is the smartest choice for your oral health.
1. Specialized Training That Goes Above and Beyond
Between Dr. Sabol and Dr. Golding, there are over 12 years of additional education and training after dental school — all focused specifically on surgical procedures like wisdom teeth removal.
That’s not just extra schooling — it’s highly specialized, intensive training in areas like anesthesia, surgical techniques, and complex case management.
When you choose a board-certified oral surgeon, you’re choosing a doctor who has mastered both the art and science of oral surgery.
2. Board Certification Matters
Both Dr. Sabol and Dr. Golding are board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) — the highest standard of credentialing in the specialty.
Board certification isn’t automatic. It requires passing rigorous written and oral exams, undergoing peer reviews, and demonstrating an ongoing commitment to continuing education and high standards of patient care.
In short? It’s your assurance that you’re in the very best hands.
✅ Board certification = Proven expertise + lifelong commitment to excellence.
3. Experience You Can Trust: We Remove Hundreds of Wisdom Teeth Each Month
Wisdom teeth removal isn’t just something we sometimes do — it’s something we do every single day.
Each of our surgeons removes hundreds of wisdom teeth every month.
That kind of volume translates into unmatched experience, faster procedures, and smoother recoveries for our patients.
At a general dentist’s office, wisdom teeth removal might be a once-in-a-while procedure.
At Oral & Facial Surgeons of Arizona? It’s what we specialize in — and it shows.
4. Faster Procedures, Easier Recovery
Thanks to our level of experience, most wisdom teeth removals take around 45 minutes with us.
At a general dentist’s office, the same procedure can take several hours, which can increase your risk of swelling, soreness, and complications.
When surgery is efficient, recovery tends to be easier.
Shorter time in the chair = a better healing experience for you.
5. Advanced Training in Anesthesia and Safety
Safety is our top priority — and that starts with anesthesia.
Both Dr. Sabol and Dr. Golding completed years of hands-on training in general anesthesia during their surgical residencies.
This means your surgery is done in a controlled, hospital-grade environment, where we manage your comfort and safety at the highest standard.
You’ll be monitored closely throughout the procedure by a team trained specifically in anesthesia protocols.
6. Highly Trained Surgical Assistants
It’s not just our doctors who are highly trained — our surgical team is, too.
Our surgical assistants have completed specialized training through the Dental Anesthesia Assistant National Certification Examination (DAANCE), a program created by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS).
This additional certification means every member of your care team is trained to assist with anesthesia procedures, monitor your safety, and provide the highest level of support during your surgery.
✅ Expertise at every step — from your first consultation to your final follow-up.
Final Thoughts: Trust the Experts
Wisdom teeth removal is a major procedure — don’t trust it to just anyone.
