Relief and Care When You Need It Most

We know wisdom tooth removal can feel stressful. That’s why our team is focused on offering a calm and comfortable experience for every patient. Using modern techniques and experience, we deliver safe, effective removal to protect your oral health.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically emerge in late teenage years or early adulthood. Some people have enough space for them, while others face issues requiring extraction. Removing wisdom teeth can prevent damage to nearby teeth, gums, jaw, and bone.

Why Have Wisdom Teeth Removed?

When your mouth lacks space, wisdom teeth may erupt at odd angles or remain partially covered by gums or bone. This tight spacing makes cleaning difficult, raising the risk of decay and gum disease. Removal helps prevent future oral health concerns and eases discomfort.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The process usually involves local numbing or optional sedation, depending on your needs. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, wears off quickly. Local anesthesia may take a few minutes to apply and several hours to fade. Our team ensures you are comfortable before proceeding with treatment.

Overview of Procedure Steps

Once you are numb, your dentist may remove gum tissue to expose the tooth. If impacted or under bone, a high-speed tool may be used to carefully free the tooth from surrounding bone.

After exposure, the tooth is gently loosened from connective tissue in its socket. If needed, the tooth may be sectioned for easier removal. Once free, the tooth or fragments are carefully extracted.

We use dissolvable stitches to close the area and promote healing. Once the procedure is complete, sedation wears off and gause is placed to help control bleeding. You are then monitored until ready to go home, usually within the hour.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Recovery

After your procedure, following our aftercare guidelines is essential for good healing. This may include managing discomfort, avoiding certain foods or habits, and practicing proper oral hygiene. Our team provides personalized instructions so you can recover safely and comfortably.
