WELCOME!
Thank you for visiting my website. In 1983 I took an IV sedation course from Dr. Stanley Malamed at USC School of Dentistry. As you may know, Dr. Malamed is one of the foremost authorities on sedation in dentistry in the world. Studying with him was intended to help me in treating impacted third molars. Over the last 30 years I have removed more than 10,000 impacted third molars and completed more than 2500 sedations.
In 1999 I sold my general dentistry practice. The new owner asked me to help him with third molar surgery. He was busy with other procedures and this provided extra income for the office. He continued to refer older patients to the oral surgeon. A few of my dentist friends heard about this arrangement and asked me if I could provide the same service for them. This was the beginning of Bay Area IV Wisdom.
I have learned that age is everything when it comes to extractions. Patients from about age 13 to 19 can have their third molars removed predictably and safely with a minimum of trauma. Most of these are full bony impactions. The roots are not fully developed and mandibular paraesthesia and sinus opening are extremely rare.
What I propose is to come to your office and perform early third molar removal and sedations for you. I will work as an independent contractor for 50% of production. The average fee for four full bony impactions with IV sedation is $2,300. All you have to do is provide the assistant and patient!

"Keeping selected third molar surgery in my office was the best decision I've ever made for my practice and my patients. My patients can stay where they are known and I'm happy because I know they are getting quality and comfortable dentistry with IV sedation"
