Oral surgery & wisdom teeth in Schaumburg

Wisdom teeth and surgical extractions handled on Golf Road at Higgins, rated 4.7 stars across 900+ Google reviews.

Oral surgery covers the surgical procedures carried out inside the mouth, most commonly wisdom tooth removal, extraction of teeth that cannot be saved, and bone grafting that preserves the jaw for a future implant.

Being told you need wisdom teeth out in the northwest suburbs often means a referral to a surgical office you have never been to, on a date weeks away. Our Schaumburg office does the surgery on Golf Road at Higgins, with free parking directly in front, and Dr. Mustafa Saad treats patients here as well as at our Chicago office.

Surgery in the suburbs, without the referral

The consultation exists to answer one question honestly: does this tooth need to come out. For wisdom teeth that means a panoramic x-ray, because the angle, the root shape, and the distance to the nerve decide the case rather than your age or a general rule about removing them. Upright, cleanable wisdom teeth can often stay and be monitored. Impacted ones, or ones pushing into the tooth in front, are better dealt with before they flare up.

Beyond wisdom teeth, this office handles routine and surgical extractions, teeth broken below the gum line, and bone grafting to keep the site suitable for an implant later. Oral and IV sedation are both available for patients who want the appointment to pass without them being present for it, and for longer procedures where sitting still is the hard part.

Two things make the suburban office easier for this particular appointment. Parking is free and directly in front of the door, which matters when someone is driving you home after sedation and would rather not navigate a garage. And the office runs late midweek, up to 8pm on Wednesdays, so a consultation does not have to cost you a day of work.

Who it's a good fit for

  • You were told your wisdom teeth need removing and want it done close to home
  • You have a tooth that is broken, infected, or beyond saving
  • You want a graft placed at the time of extraction so an implant stays possible
  • You want sedation and free parking at the door for whoever drives you home
  • You live in Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, or Palatine and would rather not drive downtown

What to expect

  1. Consult: panoramic x-ray or 3D scan, and a written estimate before anything is booked
  2. Pre-op: eating instructions, your sedation choice, and a ride arranged if sedated
  3. Surgery: local anesthetic, with oral or IV sedation if that is what you chose
  4. Recovery: swelling peaks around day two, soft diet for most of the first week
  5. Follow-up: a healing check one to two weeks later at the same office

Common questions

Who performs oral surgery at the Schaumburg office?
Dr. Mustafa Saad, who focuses on oral surgery across both of our offices. He earned his DDS at the UCLA School of Dentistry and has advanced training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, covering wisdom teeth, surgical extractions, bone grafting, and implant placement.
How soon can wisdom teeth be taken out?
The consultation and the surgery are usually separate visits, because we want the x-ray reviewed and the estimate in your hands before anything is scheduled. When a tooth is actively infected or painful we prioritize it. Booking both visits at this office rather than being referred out is generally what saves the most time.
Is there parking, and can someone wait for me?
Yes. Parking is free and directly in front of the office on Golf Road at Higgins, so whoever drives you can park at the door and wait. This matters if you are having sedation, because you cannot drive yourself home afterwards.
Will I be awake during the extraction?
That is your call. Local anesthetic alone keeps you fully awake with the area numb, which is enough for most straightforward extractions. Oral sedation leaves you drowsy and relaxed. IV sedation puts you in a twilight state where most patients remember nothing of the procedure. We go through which suits your case and your anxiety level before you decide.
What does recovery look like?
Swelling and soreness peak around the second day and ease from there. Most patients are on soft foods for the first week and off pain medication within three to five days. The socket itself finishes closing over two to three weeks. You leave with written instructions and a number to call if something does not feel right.
Does insurance cover oral surgery here?
Most dental plans cover surgical extractions and wisdom tooth removal at least partially, and impacted cases are sometimes billable to medical insurance as well. Sedation coverage varies by plan. We verify benefits and provide a written estimate before scheduling anything.
