About Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, there isn't enough room in the jaw for these teeth to come in properly, leading to impaction, crowding, pain, and potential damage to neighboring teeth.

Removing problematic wisdom teeth early can prevent a range of complications including infection, cysts, tooth decay in hard-to-reach areas, and shifting of your other teeth. Even wisdom teeth that appear to be coming in normally can cause issues down the road if they're difficult to keep clean.

Our surgical team has extensive experience with all types of wisdom tooth extractions, from straightforward removals to complex impactions. We use advanced imaging to evaluate the exact position of your wisdom teeth and plan the safest, most efficient approach.

Sedation options are available to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients experience a smooth recovery and are back to their normal routine within a few days, with our team providing support and guidance every step of the way.

Common Questions

Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQ

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Common signs include jaw pain, swollen gums behind your back teeth, difficulty opening your mouth, and headaches. However, many problematic wisdom teeth are symptom-free and are detected during routine dental X-rays. We recommend an evaluation to assess whether removal is advisable.

What is the recovery like after wisdom teeth removal?

Most patients experience some swelling and mild discomfort for 2-4 days. We provide pain medication and detailed aftercare instructions. Soft foods are recommended for the first few days, and most patients return to normal activities within a week.

Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?

Yes, it's common and often recommended to remove all four wisdom teeth during a single procedure. This means only one recovery period instead of multiple. Sedation makes the experience comfortable even for longer procedures.

At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?

While wisdom teeth can be removed at any age, removal is generally easier and recovery faster for patients in their late teens to early twenties. The roots are not yet fully formed at this stage, making extraction simpler. However, we successfully remove wisdom teeth for patients of all ages.
