Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth often do not have enough space to emerge properly, leading to various issues, including:

  • Impaction – Teeth that remain trapped beneath the gums, potentially causing pain and infection.
  • Overcrowding – Wisdom teeth can shift surrounding teeth, disrupting alignment.
  • Infections & Cysts – Impacted teeth may lead to infection, swelling, or cyst formation.
  • Damage to Adjacent Teeth – Pressure from erupting wisdom teeth can cause decay or damage to nearby molars.

Early evaluation and removal can help prevent complications and maintain overall oral health.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Wisdom tooth removal is a routine outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case. The steps typically include:

  • Initial Evaluation – X-rays and a consultation to assess the position of the wisdom teeth.
  • Surgical Extraction – Removal of the tooth, often requiring a small incision in the gum.
  • Post-Surgical Care – Instructions for managing swelling, discomfort, and healing.

Our team ensures a comfortable experience with advanced techniques that promote faster recovery and minimal complications.
