"I must say from the time I walked in to my appointment until the time I was wheeled to my driver outside, what a wonderful experience. I had all 3 of my wisdom teeth removed 🙃. The surgeon and staff are professional, courteous and caring along with very clean in appearance and hygiene.My surgery was a difficult one because my wisdom teeth were not only majorly impacted and deep in my jaw bone which is quite hardened at 37 years old but the teeth ran against my nerve. The surgeon explained the possible complexity and complications that could arise from continuing, leaving me with the final decision. I chose to move forward as I felt I was in great hands and man was a right!!If you ever need to get your wisdom teeth removed, this is the place to go!! Just try not to wait 37 years to do it!"
"I was very nervous going in for my wisdom tooth removal, but everyone made me feel so comfortable! Dr. Hendrix had my tooth out in maybe 30 seconds! His team made it quick and easy! I didn’t feel a thing, and was given very clear after care instructions :)"
"I was nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed, but they made the whole process stress-free. The procedure was quick, and the secretary was so warm and professional. Great experience from start to finish!"
"I needed all 4 wisdom teeth out. Wasn’t very pumped about it. But they had me out within 5 minutes of sitting in the chair (so no time to dwell on it) and I came too in the vehicle on the way home. Somehow, virtually no pain ever. I would describe it as discomfort at its worst. I kept anticipating the pain to come but it never did. They must do great work."
"I had a wonderful experience getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday! I was very scared being put to sleep for the procedure since I never have been put under before. The team made me feel very comfortable and it was such a wonderful nap lol. It’s been a little over 24 hours and I have had very little pain. I would recommend them to everyone!"

"Everything went so well and everybody was so nice. They explained everything very well and were very sweet. I’m so happy with getting my wisdom teeth removed. Very happy with my experience. 10 out of 10 stars"
"I had a lower impacted wisdom tooth removed last Thursday, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The whole procedure was surprisingly quick and smooth — I was honestly nervous beforehand, but the doctor and staff made me feel very comfortable.After the extraction, the bleeding stopped soon after I got home, and I had minimal pain thanks to the medication they prescribed. No swelling, no complications — just a clean and professional job."
"I recently underwent wisdom tooth extraction surgery for impacted teeth, and I had an excellent experience at L.M.S.O.G. From start to finish, the team was highly professional, kind, and supportive. They took the time to explain the procedure and made sure I felt completely comfortable throughout the process.I opted for complete anesthesia instead of local numbing, and the entire surgery was smooth and stress-free. Remarkably, I was able to recover within just five hours after the procedure. I truly appreciate the level of care and professionalism I received. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of oral surgery.– Kumar Udit SaumyaPostdoctoral Research Associate, Purdue University"
"Was referred to have all 4 wisdom teeth extracted, impacted. Have never had any type of surgery or anesthesia. Dr Henrikson & his team were all accommodating and kind. Was under sedation, I don’t remember falling asleep and had minor after effects lasting about 10-15 minutes. Next day and very little pain, was able to eat mashed potatoes & protein shakes. Hoping to never need oral surgery again but wouldn’t hesitate to go to this center if the need arises. They even called the following day to check in and answer any questions I may have. When I wasn’t sure what pharmacy to use, she looked up pharmacies nearest to us and wrote down the address for my driver."
"I went in on 3/18/25 for extraction of all 4 wisdom teeth. The staff was very informative, polite, and professional. They reached out the next day to answer any questions I may have had and to check that things were good. Would recommend going here for oral needs"
"I went in to get my wisdom teeth removed and they were super nice and professional. My dad went with me to drive and he said it was extremely fast. Very clean and professional!"
"Overall a quick, easy, and painless procedure. I got all 4 wisdom teeth taken out and to my surprise, I'm not experiencing much discomfort or pain outside of 1 tooth that was impacted. So glad they put me to sleep for the whole thing. Definitely would recommend LOMS for anyone's wisdom teeth extraction."
"I started dealing with an infected wisdom tooth in October. I was able to get an appointment the next month, and the procedure was a breeze! The team has been nothing short of amazing & I’m not even 2 weeks out with no pain left. I would 1000% recommend Dr. Hendrikson’s services!!"
"I got 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted and the whole procedure went very smoothly . Dr. Henrikson and his staff are professional and responsive. The aftercare instructions are very clear and helped me heal quickly."
"I found Dr. Brett Henrikson and his staff to be very sensitive and have a pleasant manner. If and I have another tooth extraction, it will be done by Dr. Henrikson at the L.O.M.S.G."
"My wisdom teeth removal went so smoothly. The staff made me feel very comfortable. They gave me plenty of aftercare instructions and I am feeling minimal pain after just 24 hours!"
"I was nervous to get my wisdom teeth out (all 4, some erupted some impacted) but my experience was great! Once my anesthesia kicked in, which took almost no time, I didn't feel a thing, and had practically 0 pain or swelling on day 1. I'm sure everyone is different, but I'm not even noticeably swelling as of the morning of day 2. Just very normal and tolerablepain on one side of my mouth where the impacted teeth were. I was prescribed everything I needed to recover successfully, and I would return if I ever needed something like this done again. Great surgeon and assisting staff."
"I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed at once today! I was extremely nervous because I have a fear of needles. However, the staff did their best to calm me and were very encouraging. After that, next thing I know I’m awake and the procedure was done! Definitely recommend!! Hoping for a fast recovery."
"all the front desk gals and assistants were super duper nice. Dr Henrickson was very professional and efficient with getting everything done for my wisdom teeth procedure. they left me with plenty of supplies for aftercare."
"Brooks’ wisdom teeth extraction experience was great. He loved the Dr. and staff, their instructions were clear. Would definitely recommend this office."

"I had a tooth extraction. Everyone in the office was friendly and efficient. Dr. Henrikson had the tooth out quickly and relatively painlessly just as he did the previous time. He is an excellent dentist."
"They took great care of me. I highly recommend this place to anybody. If you are scared, don't be. I came out with zero pain after getting two extractions."
"Our daughter was very anxious about having her wisdom teeth removed. LOMSG was wonderful from the moment we stepped in the door. Checking in... everyone was super nice. Leaving... aftercare was thoroughly explained. All was smooth and I wouldn't give it a second thought going there in the future."
"I had a fantastic experience with LOMSG! I’ve had a myriad of dental procedures in the past year, and my wisdom tooth extraction was awesome. The staff was professional, the facility was clean, and I felt the was an appropriate amount of staff as well, in case there were any issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back, and I would advice anyone in the area to check here first."
"I had two wisdom teeth removed here and I think they did a great job! It’s been about 20 hours since my operation and I don’t have that much pain, only a bit of mouth soreness, but otherwise my appetite is good and I feel quite mobile. It only took about 30 mins to get two teeth out (the teeth were below the gums), so that was also convenient. The surgeon was very calming and the nurses were kind—I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to get your wisdom teeth removed in a place with as little pain or anxiety as possible."
"L.O.M.S.G and Dr. Henrickson did a fantastic job on my Wisdom Tooth extraction operation. I was in a lot of pain, and they got me in very quickly after reviewing x-rays from my regular dental provider. They were very informative on what to do Pre/Post-Operation. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Henrickson to anyone looking into a reputable oral surgeon."

I was nervous for the surgery but it went so smooth all thanks to LOMSG! Highly recommend!!!"
"I had a great experience here when I got my wisdom teeth removed a few months ago. They all were very nice and helpful, answered all my questions I had before and after. The nice receptionist. She made my appointment, and she was very friendly the day of the procedure making sure I wasn’t nervous and reassuring me that everything would go great! Overall had a awesome experience and would recommend!"
"I had a wisdom tooth pulled/cut out and was AMAZED at literally having no pain afterwards!!! The numbing wore off and I kept expecting pain but none ever came, except for a slightly sore jaw ....I absolutely recommend this place ....they were friendly and easy to work with and for me it was a wonderful experience!!!"
"I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed two days ago. The top had to be pulled and then bottom cut out. Besides the initial wait of 40 some minutes my procedure went flawlessly. Minimal bruising and swelling, they gave me pain meds, antibiotics and a steroid and called me the following day to check up on me and any concerns I had. Additionally they accepted my insurance and I had very little out of pocket expenses even tho I did IV sedation. 10/10 recommend them. They are extremely professional, helpful and knowledgeable."
"They got me in rapidly to have a wisdom tooth removed. Normal nervousness about the procedure but the whole atmosphere made me feel relaxed and calm. I can’t say enough about this oral surgeon. The whole procedure was less than a half hour. The extraction took probably 2 minutes. His assistant megan was above and beyond wonderful. She explained everything to the T and made me feel so comfortable. That’s so important when a patient is anxious about the procedure. I have to say probably the best oral surgical clinic in Lafayette. "
"Got my wisdom teeth out and 2 more teeth yesterday. Highly recommend them theyare so kind and friendly and Walk you through every thing and answer all the question you have. Dr Hendrickson and his staff are the best. Highly recommend going there. Great customer service and very clean"
"From the time I got there to when the surgery started it was no longer than a 5 minute wait. And once I got into the operating room the dental assistant was my very polite and made sure I was comfortable. Now as far as how the wisdom teeth removal went, I don’t know cause the second they out that IV in me I was out. But afterwards I’m having just little pain the pain killers the prescribed are great."
"I am not usually one to post reviews, but I just had to when it comes to L.O.M.S.G. I had the most amazing experience here not once, but twice! I saw them once for a normal extraction, and then again a couple weeks after to have 4 wisdom teeth removed. From start to finish, everything was easy & so pleasant. I can’t say enough good things!!!Special thanks to Elisabeth & Courtney for going above and beyond to make me comfortable!"
"The doctor and nurse here are professional. They are also friendly in treating me. I used Sedative because I needed to extract 3 wisdom tooth (2 are horizontal). The doctor finished this massive surgery within 1 hour. After the surgery, I suffered way less pain than my previous wisdom surgery.By the way, I am a Purdue student and I used Anthem insurance here. The price was very appropriate: a total of $500. In fact, I plan to have my wife doing her oral surgery here in the future."
"Had to get wisdom teeth pulled since they had cavities that i ignored for a long time. Wasn’t in the mood for it but they did fine. Friendly staff, Ciera and Dr. Hendrickson were great."
"I was scheduled for my wisdom tooth extractions at noon, they had me signed in and in my room 5 till noon. Doc came in looked over everything and by 1230 had me all numbed up and I didn’t feel a thing. He had everything done within an hour. Staff was very helpful and professional they provided me with all the aftercare information i needed. I would recommend this office and Dr Henrikson for anyone."
"I had put off getting my wisdom teeth removed for years & finally had to get it done. I was pretty nervous. My dentist referred me here & they got me in right away.The employees were all extremely comforting & helpful! They joked with me, got me a blanket & let my husband stay in the room until right before I passed out.They answered all my husbands questions & then mine when I called the next day. I never felt like I was bothering anyone.In general, an oral surgeon isn't somewhere I wanted to go. But, since I had to, I'm glad it was here!"

"My son had all 4 wisdom teeth out, and 2 days after surgery is doing extremely well. Our experience with Dr. Henrikson has been great. He and his staff were friendly, informative, and available after surgery for any questions or issues that we might have. I would definitely recommend. "
"Everything about this doctor is aces. Every step of the journey was fantastic. The receptionists were pleasant, the waiting room was comfortable, Dr. Henrikson and staff answered all my questions, the price was right, and the dental work was perfect. I had 2 impacted wisdom teeth and an exploded molar removed two weeks ago by him. I didn't even need my pain pills; the surgery was flawless, there were no chips or shards, and everything healed wonderfully. 5 stars, highly recommended."
