About Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of New York City

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of New York City provides dental care on Madison Avenue in the Manhattan area of New York. Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front, since they arrive last and often into a jaw with no room left. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — one that erupts cleanly and can be kept clean is often left alone.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that come through cleanly, in a good position, and can be kept clean are often left alone. Removal is generally advised when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front.
Why do wisdom teeth cause problems?
They arrive last, often into a jaw with no room left, so they become impacted or come through at an angle. Partly erupted wisdom teeth are also very difficult to clean, which is why they are prone to repeated infection and decay.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

Seems an efficient practice; I was seen for a CAT scan 30 minutes early, Dr Chen spotted the issue a minute later, made a plan and I’ll be back in 3 weeks for the event. Hope it’s painless and as quick a recovery as it sounds 🤞🏼 Everyone kind and professional in the office and exam. Had the procedure; painless and basically no memory after he said ‘here we go’ and then I was in the room alone with an assistant telling me there was a wad of gauze in my mouth and to change it etc.

I had three teeth removed (2 wisdom) last week. I am SO anxious when it comes to dental care. Dr. Gary Ruth and his team were patient and gentle. I felt at ease and the procedure was explained to me in a way I could understand despite being nervous and it went well. If i ever need this type of care again I will absolutely go back here.

Dr.Ward is a kind, knowledgeable and extremely capable oral surgeon. He answered all my questions with ease and put my worries and concerns to rest before he started. The office is immaculate and modern. The staff is beyond kind; they always had imes and kind words. Everybody was on time. Overall, Dr. Ward's office provides the dental experience we all hope for.

I had double jaw surgery with Dr. Jay Neugarten over 10 years ago, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I ever made. It was a challenging procedure, but the results were absolutely worth it. Dr. Neugarten was at the forefront of using modern technology and techniques, including a procedure that allowed me to avoid having my jaw wired shut, which made the recovery significantly easier. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to patient care were exceptional. The office staff was also wonderful—kind, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Even more than a decade later, I remain grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Neugarten to anyone considering orthognathic surgery.
