Wisdom Teeth Removal

The main reason for needing wisdom tooth removal is because the third molars can become an issue if they're impacted and left in place. Over time, the wisdom teeth can become severely infected, decayed and even push up against other teeth. This could cause damage to surrounding teeth as well as overcrowding. It is never too soon or too late to have these teeth removed fully.

The surgery begins with a consultation and examination. We take x-rays of your teeth and mouth to determine if wisdom tooth removal is necessary. We will then schedule you to come in for the procedure. We will administer sedative of your choice and then make an incision through the gums. We remove the underlying wisdom tooth and suture the gums closed. The process is repeated for any other wisdom teeth within the mouth that have to be removed. You can expect some pain and swelling for the first few days following oral surgery.
