LEBANON, Tenn. - TelAve -- After 23 years in practice, Dr. Russell Kirk noticed something that bothered him. Patients call with questions that should be simple to answer, but the information is scattered and unorganized. Do I need to have my wisdom teeth removed? Do I have to have a consultation first? What's it going to cost? What does the week after surgery look like? He wanted to build a site to organize and help patients get the answers they want.

So instead of waiting for someone else to fill that gap, he built a website.

LebanonWisdomTeeth.com isn't what you'd expect from a dentist's site. It answers real questions. What wisdom teeth are, why they need to be removed, what the procedure involves, how recovery works, and more. It shows actual costs rather than making you guess at numbers.

What stands out is what's absent. No hype about "cutting-edge technology." No vague reassurances. Just information.

"We take a team approach to help you find a solution to your oral surgery problem," Dr. Kirk says. "But first, people need to understand what that problem actually is. And get the answers they need."

Dr. Kirk also wanted to shift away from the old referral model. In the past, you had to see your general dentist first. They would give you a referral. You would then get an appointment with him. Now you don't need to see your dentist first. You can see him directly. He reaches patients who search for "wisdom tooth surgery near me" or "oral surgeon near me." They are already doing their own research, looking for information instead of a sales pitch. They're ready to have a real conversation and want to go directly to the surgeon of their choice. The new site tries to make this easier.

The site covers communities across Middle Tennessee. Alexandria, Carthage, Gordonsville, Watertown, Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, Lafayette, Hartsville. Wilson County, Smith County, DeKalb County, Trousdale County. Anyone searching for wisdom teeth removal or wisdom teeth surgery in that radius finds answers instead of mystery.

Not every tooth comes out the same way, though. Sometimes full extraction is the right call. Other times, a coronectomy (removing the crown while leaving roots behind) is smarter. There are even times when surgery is not recommended.

Dr. Kirk notes. "This site is built to provide information. Everything else follows from that."
