Safe, comfortable removal of wisdom teeth using gentle techniques and modern technology.
What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure to extract one or more wisdom teeth, the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.
Taking good care of your teeth and mouth is an important part of staying healthy. And don't be afraid if your dentist says it's time to take out your wisdom teeth. Talking to your dentist about the procedure — and if it's right for you — can help ease those nerves.
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
These symptoms may mean that the wisdom teeth have erupted, and should be removed before they cause more serious problems.
-
Pain
-
Infection in the mouth
-
Facial swelling
-
Swelling of the gumline in the back of the mouth around the wisdom tooth
The wisdom teeth may be partly erupted. That means the teeth have partly surfaced and have no room in the mouth to come in completely.
Completely impacted teeth have not come through the gum and may never erupt into the mouth.
What can I expect during recovery and aftercare?
After the procedure, you’ll get time to recover before you leave the office. You may feel mild discomfort, slight bleeding and swelling. You must have an adult family member or friend take you home. Your oral surgeon will give you detailed instructions that will help you continue to recover quickly at home.
