Wisdom Tooth Extraction | Painless Dental Surgery

I just had my impacted wisdom tooth extracted this past week and I wanted to talk about my overall experience with the procedure and the healing process.

Here is my Facebook Post from the day of the dental procedure: "❤️Heartfelt thank you to Dr. David Geiger and Andrea Willis for taking such good care of me today. Not gunna lie I was a little nervous this morning, but in the end, there was absolutely nothing to worry about!"

The day of my wisdom tooth surgery, I was a little nervous. Dr. Geiger recommended that I use Nitrous Oxide to help me relax during the procedure. At LADD Dental Group, we offer multiple forms of sedation dentistry, but I felt like Nitrous was the best sedation dentistry option for me.

During the procedure I didn't feel any pain. There were certain times that I felt pressure and could feel them applying force to get the tooth out, but I never felt pain. Dr. Geiger made sure I was comfortable to entire time, and kept me informed during the surgery.

As you can see in the video, I didn't even feel the tooth come out. The entire procedure took about 35 minutes and it was a much better experience than I was expecting. Dr. Geiger and his dental team deserve a ton of credit and I am so grateful for the level of care they provided me.

After the procedure I was a little sore, but nothing major. It was a little tender to eat, but other than that, it really has not been a bad post-op healing process. I was given some pain pills and a few other medications to help with the healing, but overall I have felt pretty well.

I have had a little bit of swelling the past 48 hours, but again, nothing major. My wife and I even got a little bike ride and walk in the past few days.

All things considered, I have had a very good wisdom tooth surgery experience. The level of care I received at LADD Dental Group in McCordsville was exceptional, and the healing process has been very smooth.

2026 Dental Office Data | Struggling Performance Continues

Over the past decade, the dental industry experienced an unprecedented wave of consolidation. Private equity capital flowed into the profession, Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) expanded rapidly, and large multi-location platforms became a major force in the market. Recently, however, two major organizations— Dental Care Alliance and Affordable Care —have reportedly been taken over by their lenders following financial restructuring challenges. For many in the profession, this raises an important question: What does this mean for the future of dentistry ? The answer is nuanced, but it may signal a turning point for how dental organizations are built and financed going forward. The End of the “Growth at Any Cost” Era For many DSOs, the growth strategy of the past decade was simple: acquire as many practices as possible as quickly as possible. Low interest rates and strong investor appetite made this strategy viable. Debt financing allowed organizations to purchase pract...

Affordable Care Restructure | 2026 Dental Industry Impacts

The convergence of Affordable Care’s restructuring and broader financial strain across large DSOs is more than an isolated credit event — it’s a signal of structural pressure in the dental industry. Below is a strategic, operator-level view of the impacts likely to unfold. 1) Capital structure stress → Slower DSO expansion & recap cycles Affordable Care’s restructuring is largely debt-driven: The company is working with turnaround advisers after a $2.7B leveraged buyout left it with expensive floating-rate debt. Rising interest rates materially increased debt service costs. This dynamic is industry-wide: Many DSOs and small groups financed growth with variable debt that has jumped from ~4% to 10%+ interest costs. Some platforms have been unable to recapitalize amid economic uncertainty. Impacts Fewer aggressive roll-ups and de novo expansions Lower EBITDA multiples on acquisitions More minority recap deals vs. full exits Delayed liquidity e...
