A Surgeon Who Calls Ashland Home

Dr. Bryan Clevenger is a Southern Oregon native who graduated from Ashland High School before going on to Brigham Young University, dental school at the University of the Pacific, and his surgical residency at UCSF Fresno. After years of training in California, he was thrilled to return to the Rogue Valley to care for the community he grew up in. Together with Dr. Matthew Myers, he leads a team that treats every patient like a neighbor, because many of them are.

Wisdom Teeth Care for Ashland Students

The late teens and early twenties are often the best time to remove impacted wisdom teeth, when the roots are not fully formed and recovery tends to be quicker. That makes wisdom teeth removal a common procedure for Ashland high school and college students.

A few tips for students and parents:

• Plan around school breaks. Scheduling surgery at the start of a long weekend or break gives you time to rest without missing class.
• Expect a few days of downtime. Most patients feel ready to return to school or work within a few days to a week.
• Prepare your recovery menu ahead of time. Our wisdom teeth recovery and diet guide covers what to eat and what to avoid while you heal.
• Bring a parent or guardian if you are under 18. A parent or guardian will need to be present for consultations and surgery for minors.
