Wisdom Tooth Removal

What is a Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

A wisdom tooth extraction is a routine procedure performed to remove your third molars, which are the last teeth to erupt.
While not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, an extraction is often necessary to prevent future pain and protect the health of your smile. This procedure is typically performed by a skilled oral surgeon with a focus on your comfort.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Our oral surgery team is committed to making your wisdom tooth removal as smooth and comfortable as possible. We use a local anesthetic to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.
The process involves the oral surgeon making a small incision in the gum to expose and gently extract the wisdom tooth. Following the procedure, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a fast and comfortable recovery.

Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Necessary?

Wisdom tooth removal may be necessary when your wisdom teeth become impacted, meaning they don't have enough room to properly erupt. This can lead to a variety of issues, including:

    Pain & Pressure: Impacted wisdom teeth can grow at an angle, causing pressure on your gums and adjacent teeth, which leads to pain and swelling.
    Damage to Surrounding Teeth: They can push against and damage neighboring teeth, leading to misalignment, decay, or other serious problems.
    Infection: When a wisdom tooth is only partially erupted, a flap of gum tissue can trap bacteria, leading to a painful infection.
