Your body is miraculous, naturally shedding your baby teeth for larger adult teeth. Most of your adult teeth grow in between the ages of 12 and 14, with the exception of your wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that grow in between the ages of 15 and 20. However, your dentist may suggest wisdom teeth removal.
If you aren’t sure if you or your child need to have the third molars removed, schedule an appointment with Taylor Made Dental in Taylor, MI. Our exceptional team is led by Dr. Remy Ajluni. We’ll assess the angle the molars are set to grow in to determine if they should be extracted.
COMPLETE ORAL EXAM
A comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and oral health.
X-RAYS
X-rays identify the precise angle wisdom teeth are set to grow in.
WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION
If extraction is required, we provide oral surgery and post-op care.
If you’re experiencing unidentified pain in your teeth and gums, it may be your wisdom teeth!
Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Taylor
Approximately 85% of teens and young adults have their wisdom teeth removed before they grow in. This eliminates the risk of a variety of problems, including misalignment and pain. X-rays are the only way to determine if you or your child’s third molars need to be removed to avoid painful complications.
Modern diets are easy to chew, so there’s no functional need for wisdom teeth. If they grow in, you’ll have an additional set of molars, but they may disrupt your smile. The pressure caused by your new teeth can shift and tilt your existing teeth. Whether your teeth are naturally straight, perfectly imperfect, or you’ve invested in professional teeth straightening—your wisdom teeth can undue your alignment!
Beyond aesthetics, this can cause pain and bite problems. Misalignment also makes brushing and flossing less effective, increasing your risk for cavities, tooth decay, and other oral health concerns.
In some cases, there’s no room for your molars to grow in, which causes extremely painful impaction. Impaction must be addressed to avoid infection.
Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Dentists suggest extraction for approximately 85% of teens and young adults between the ages of 15 and 20. An X-ray allows Taylor Made Dental to determine if there’s room in your mouth for your wisdom teeth and if they’re likely to grow in at a concerning angle.
Why Have Your Wisdom Teeth Removed?
When your molars start growing in, it can be painful. If Dr. Remy Ajluni suggests wisdom teeth extraction, it’s to avoid any combination of the following:
Pain
Inflammation
Infection
Crowding
Impacted teeth
Sinus problems
Damage to surrounding teeth
Increased risk of tooth decay
Tilting, shifting, and misalignment
If the third molars have begun growing in, it’s not too late to extract them.
Recovering From Wisdom Teeth Surgery in Taylor
Dr. Remy Ajluni and the skilled team at Taylor Made Dental ensure your comfort during surgery. We’ll discuss your sedation options and provide personalized pre- and post-op care. Most patients are candidates for IV sedation.
Someone will need to drive you home from your surgery, and you’ll need to eat soft foods for the next 24 hours.
Pain and swelling will occur, so we’ll provide a pain management plan. If food impaction, extreme pain, fever, or severe bleeding occur—call our office or seek emergency medical care.
Otherwise, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment 2 weeks post-surgery.
The only way to determine if you or your child need to have the wisdom teeth removed is by analyzing your X-rays to determine the angle they’re set to grow in.
I usually have horrible experiences with dentists, but I’ve been with Taylor made Dental for the last 8 years and they have been nothing but professional and very knowledgeable. They are always organized and on top of it all. The staff is amazing and kind. From the moment you step into that office until you walk out they make you feel like you’re in the right place. Explain every procedure before it’s done. They make you feel comfortable and confident about the outcome. They truly make it a great experience.
Everyone is always very nice and professional. They do very good work too. The office is very clean and inviting. I would recommend this dental office to family and friends.
I’ve been going to Taylor Made Dental since the end of 2024 and I can’t say enough great things about this practice. I am in the middle of getting my first implant and it has been a pain free experience! Didn’t expect that! The dentists are kind and friendly and the staff is wonderful.
just the most awesome place you could go to get your teeth fixed!!! Dr. Ali and every dentist and assistant there are the absolute best! I couldn't imagine a better place to get my teeth taken care of. So kind, friendly and caring, something that a lot of places cannot say. If I could give this review 10 stars star I would. You guys are the absolute best!
Amazing care. The only dentist office I will ever go to. Hygienist Lindsay is the best! Dr Ajluni and his staff provide excellent dental care with compassion and modern technology. The front staff are friendly, patient and understanding. Janice, Jen and Debbie are wonderful.

I have been looking for a good dentist for months now I found Taylor made dental and they are amazing they made me feel welcomed and comfortable the best dentist I’ve ever been to.
I've been going to Taylor Made Dental for about 13 years! They do great work! They're professional and caring! I no longer live in the area but I only trust them with my teeth!
I recommend this place. My husband and son come here, too. They do a wonderful job. They explain everything that they are going to do to your teeth and done in a timely matter. I'm not a big fan about going to the dentist but this place makes me feel very comfortable.
I Had a great experience with my deep clean. Alyson did a wonderful job and was very gentle with my teeth. She was also very polite to me the entire visit. I would recommend Taylor made to friends or family.
Every time I’ve been here they have been nice and professional. When I went in to get a cavity filled and told them I was nervous they were very understanding and nice! Made me feel comfortable
My husband and I have been going to Taylor Made Dental for years! It is by far the best dental experience I have ever had! Dr. Remy, and Dr Mike are both amazing, and all of the staff is exceptional! Everyone is so welcoming, fun, friendly, and professional! I just finished up my Invisalign, and am extremely happy with the results!
Truly a pleasant experience. Glad I could find a dentist close to home that provides cheerful and excellent service (Alyson is a top tier hygienist, and just delightful) and a staff that seems to love what they do. Added bonus - had a very thorough cleaning and exactly zero discomfort afterwards.
Best dental office ever. I always have such a great experience and feel genuinely cared for every time I go in. The team makes you feel comfortable and at ease.<br>Erin did the best cleaning I’ve ever had, so thorough and gentle. Dr. Ali is always super helpful and amazing. I’ve never experienced any pain. Highly recommend.
Let’s just say I don’t like going to the dentist but I had to cause you know I want to keep my teeth. I was taken care of by a wonderful woman named Erin. Who just so happens to be one of the Registered dental hygienist. She made my visit as painless as possible even opting to use alternative tools to make my experience as painless as possible on top of making me feel comfortable being there. I will definitely be back for my next check up and if it’s allowed I would like Erin please.<br><br>Thank you Taylor Made Dental 😊
Always a pleasant experience...from the front office to the chair. (Even though it's a dental office, lol.) I followed Dr. Remy from a previous office. Excellent decision. Thanks to all.
Thought I would be there a lot longer than I was. Had my permanent bridge done, I was out in no time. I did not have any pain before or after. Staff is fantastic.
I have been a patient at the Taylor Location for a few years, this past year I have now brought my young children to be seen by the amazing staff here. I will always recommend Taylor Made Dental, they make you feel like you’re seen and heard.
Absolutely a great dentist office. Lindsey my hygienist was great along with Dr. Remy. I needed a root canal done & Lisa along with Dr. Ali fun & yet very professional. Great experience. Have been going here since 2019. Good group of people.
I called for a last minute appointment, bit of an emergency. They were able to get her in that day within 2 hours.<br>The staff was friendly and amazing as usual.
