"Had a wisdom tooth extracted. Dr. Johnson and his staff are great."
"Dr. Johnson has performed tooth extractions, bone grafts, and implants for me over the past fifteen to twenty years. Despite my chronic neurological condition, he has conducted these oral surgeries under local anesthesia, causing minimal discomfort both during these procedures and during recovery. I trust that Dr. Johnson will handle each task carefully, always considering my comfort. Additionally, he is a personable man who approaches patients with kindness. His staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well. I recommend this team without hesitation."

"I had a pretty bad infection caused by a partially impacted wisdom tooth a couple of weeks back. They were able to move my initial consult up two weeks to help me out. Prescribed me a strong antibiotic and took care of the issue. Got all four wisdom teeth removed yesterday and I’m feeling great today. Much praise to Dr. Johnson and his entire team! Would definitely recommend."
"Wisdom tooth extraction 10/15/24. In and out in 10 minutes! Dr. Johnson & staff are so friendly and helpful. No pain yesterday or today. Will definitely recommend to friends and family."
"What a wonderful experience with Dr Johnson and staff to remove all four wisdom teeth , with two being impacted. From my consultation, dr Johnson explained to me what will be happening the day of my surgery. I was very nervous and he put me at ease I don’t remember much from the day of surgery and pain is at a minimum. They also wrap your head with ice so you don’t have the purchase a head wrap from Amazon. The one they gave me worked better. I hope this review helps anyone that needs their wisdom teeth out but is too afraid!!Thank you for a great experience on something that can be so scary!!!!IWill always recommend them!"
"I had the pleasure to put my tooth extraction in the hands of Doctor Johnson I was very nervous about the whole thing needles and removing the tooth I did not feel at all the numbing process and was surprised how fast the tooth was removed so from now on Doctor Johnson is my special one if down the road I need his expertise but there is no rush …I will add that the staff was wonderful."
"I highly recommend this office for any dental work. I had two wisdom teeth and a piece of another tooth removed this morning and everything went very well. I was comfortable and at ease, the Valium and nitrous helped! Thank you Dr. Johnson & April🙌😃👍"
"I have to report on the very thorough job Dr Johnson did explaining to me what my impacted wisdom tooth extraction would entail, the recovery process and length, how to handle any problems that might develop afterwards etc. His office also gave me a folder of instructions to refresh my memory and a suggested list of food to eat after surgery. Everything went smoothly the day of the surgery and I had no pain or even discomfort afterwards. I had no complications despite the difficulty of the extraction. It turned out to be a very pleasant experience with a wonderful caring staff to answer any follow-up questions. If you need a tooth extraction or any other oral related issue taken care of, Dr Jay Johnson’s Office is where you should go to achieve the very best outcome for you."
"It was my first time going to see Dr. Johnson for a complex tooth extraction. I normally have high anxiety visiting the dentist because of a bad experience I had with a dentist when I was a teenager but I have to say that Dr. Johnson was excellent. He calmed my nerves down and did a phenomenal job. I thought it was going to be a painful and time consuming extraction but it wasn't. It felt like maybe 2 minutes and out it came. He said, "all done." I said, done? It was fast and painless. Him and his entire staff were professional and courteous. I definitely would recommend him to family, friends and anyone in need of dental work. Job well done, Dr. Johnson! Thank you."
"I have had, counting this time, 2 teeth removed that 1 was cracked all the way down the tooth to root end, removed by Dr. Bird (90's)and #2 removed by Dr Johnson. (2024) I was sedated both times and when I came out of it was told all went well and to go with instructions till follow up and did this. 90's tooth was a breeze and no problems at all! Second tooth all was well( Broke tooth under Crown) with it too. Both Dr. and there are great at what they do and after listening to others people used this was a no brainer! Tech's Jessica & Ashley were real good at helping with assisting both Dr.s I had a few bone chips come through on first one ( This is normal especially if tooth is damaged bad. 2nd tooth will take longer as I am an old guy now and we heal slower. My advice is Dr. Jay A. Johnson. Professional , explains everything in detail to assure you of what will take place and the sedation was great for if you want or as with me he stated I needed to be and I totally agreed. Came out of sedation quickly and was on my way home to recuperate. Not only are they great at Oral Surgery but pricing was nearly 1/2 of what most people were charging huge $$$ for sedation. So if you need wisdom teeth or facial surgery Dr. Johnson is the man to see!"
"I went today for a tooth extraction and bone graft for future implant. The staff is very kind and helpful. From front desk to assistant to surgeon I can only say superb. Dr. Johnson is professional, kind, and extremely skillful. It’s been less than 6 hours since the extraction of my molar and I can’t believe I feel no discomfort. Highly recommend this practice. Thank you. Lisa Meyer"
"Dr. Johnson and his staff are absolutely amazing. From the ladies at reception to the sweet nurse in the back! Dr. Johnson did my wisdom teeth removal and was phenomenal. I was told by multiple oral surgeons that it would practically be impossible and his confidence in the procedure had me at ease from beginning to end. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend!!!"

"I would recommend Bird and Johnson to anyone in a heartbeat. They made my experience the most painless (mental and physical) I could ask for. Everyone was extremely kind and patient.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed on 5/10/22 and she was anxiety ridden and terrified of the upcoming procedure.Dr. Johnson and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate her and make her feel at ease.

"At my consultation every one was so friendly, kind and reassuring. They all showed the same energy and were super helpful when it came time for my wisdom tooth extractions. Dr. Johnson gave me a fist bump and the next thing I remember was waking up in my bed at home. The whole process was smooth and professional and I am beyond thankful that I chose this office."
"It is hard for me to find the right words to describe how incredible Dr. Johnson is. He and his entire office showed only the most compassionate, reassuring, and informative care. What started out as a lot of nerves for a simple surgery that was long overdue, ended as a shocking cancer diagnosis. He was the surgeon that had to break that news to us and he stayed after office hours to sit with my husband and I to discuss and answer questions, as long as we needed him with us. He handled this sensitive conversation with the most grace and compassion and for that we are forever grateful. My wisdom tooth removal surgery at 39 was a breeze: quick procedure, no infections, very limited pain, limited swelling, and successful, complete healing. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson and his amazing staff for any of your oral surgery needs."
"I had to have 2 wisdom teeth pulled. I over 50, and they needed to be removed.. I have never had any type of surgery before, so I was a little nervous. I was sedated, and I didn't feel a thing. Even after the surgery, my pain was very minimal. I never had to take the pain medication. Pre/post operative instructions were very clear. I will go to Dr. Johnson for all my oral surgery needs."
"Dr. Johnson and all of his staff are great. I've had a few procedures done, extractions and an implant, with zero pain during the procedure and no issues afterwards. The doctor and nurses are very much focused on ensuring that the patient understands the procedure and feels no pain. The office staff are very pleasant and helpful, and went out of their way to contact me when an earlier appointment opened up. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson's office."
"Receptionists, Nurses/assistants and Doctor Johnson were all so awesome, awesome is an understatement. they're all so kind and patient. and answered all of my questions even if they're silly. I got both bottom wisdom teeth pulled and need stitches, so they put me to sleep. I don't remember and didn't feel a thing. healing now and I think I'll be fine. also they were able to get me in 2 months sooner than my initial appointment, and scheduled a follow up appointment for very soon after my surgery just to check on me. So happy I chose their office for my surgery. highly recommended, everyone is amazing here."

"I went in yesterday (12/12/19) to have a wisdom tooth removed that has been giving me a hard time for a while. I went in thinking I would just have xrays done and have to go back next week but Dr. Johnson saw how much pain I was in and decided that he would remove it while I was there. The staff if amazing as well. Would definitely recommend them to others."
"Dr. Johnson and his assistant, Ashley, did an excellent job on my tooth extraction today. They were both reassuring that the procedure would go well, and it did.

Ashley gave me all the aftercare information I needed."
"Very easy, PAIN-FREE experience for my wisdom teeth removal. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Dr. Johnson was awesome. Thank you to this great team!"
"Woke Up in the middle of the night with extreme jaw pain. After hours of taking ibuprofen and still in pain I'm thinking this has to be exposed nerves as several my teeth were aching or taking turns aching. My dentist felt that my wisdom tooth was the cause and gave me 3 referrals for my selection of an oral surgeon for tooth extraction. I did my google research and selected Bird and Johnson, oral surgery and I'm happy that I did. The front office gave me an appointment to see Dr Johnson that afternoon, upon arrival the office staff was very professional and kind, I was surprised that I saw the doctor almost immediately and didn't have to sit in the waiting room for ever, I was impressed and amazed by Dr Johnson! He gave me a lot of time and actually listened to me as I described my symptoms and quizzed me for more info, and then he did a mouth exam that was quick and painless. After our consultation Dr. Johnson felt that my teeth were not causing my issues but it was most likely a nerve problem and that I should wait 2 weeks for an improvement. Wait and see where it goes - No surgery scheduled. I feel very fortunate and that I made a good decision in selecting Birds and Johnson. A Good doctor who actually listens and acts in your best interest!!!"

"Amazing. We were so nervous about the whole procedure. Less than 40 minutes, Dr Johnson took all 4 of my sons impacted wisdom teeth out. No complications."
"Dr. Johnson has performed my first wisdom tooth removal & performed several extractions over the last 20 years and I can't express how happy I have been with his work other that I keep coming back. Dr. J is super through & explains everything before he does it so there are no surprises. I give the entire A+ staff 5 Stars *****"
