Can I Get A Chin Implant and My Wisdom Teeth Out During The Same Surgery?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have been wanting to get a chin implant for some time. It was just recommended that I need to get my wisdom teeth out and I was hoping to possibly do both procedures at once! I was researching to try and find a surgeon who could do both at the same time and found Dr. Eppley. I would love to learn more and see if this is a possibility! Thanks in advance!

A:I would need to see a panorex x-ray first to determine the current state of the 3rd molars. If they are difficult impactions and require a lot of bone removal I wouldn’t do it as a combined procedure
