What is wisdom teeth removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is the extraction of the third molars. Depending on whether the teeth have fully erupted or not, they may simply be gently pulled out of their sockets, or the gums may need to be incised to reach the wisdom teeth.
Our team uses anesthesia to block pain during the procedure and ensure your comfort. Wisdom teeth removal may be performed by a general dentist with training in wisdom teeth extraction, or by an oral surgeon.
If your case is more complex, we may recommend receiving treatment from an oral surgeon.
When do you need wisdom teeth removal?
Most people do not have space to properly accommodate their wisdom teeth in their jaws. This is why wisdom teeth removal is a commonly needed treatment.
Insufficient Space
Not enough space in your jaw to properly accommodate your wisdom teeth, leading to crowding and issues with tooth alignment and bite.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
The wisdom teeth are impacted, or unable to properly erupt. This may be due to crowding or to improper eruption, such as the tooth coming in sideways.
Infection Risk
There is risk of recurrent infection due to partial eruption of the wisdom teeth.
Precision Through Advanced Imaging
Your dentist will use advanced imaging to determine the placement of your wisdom teeth, even if they have not yet erupted. This enables our team to give you the best possible recommendation on whether your wisdom teeth need to be removed.
If your oral health would benefit from the removal of your third molars, our team will review the treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have.
