- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums around back teeth

Even if you don't have symptoms, your dentist might recommend removal if your X-rays show potential future problems.
Our Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
Careful Evaluation
First, we examine your mouth and take detailed X-rays to see the exact position of your wisdom teeth. We look at how they're growing and if they might cause problems for nearby teeth.
Personalized Treatment Planning
We'll explain what we found and recommend the best approach for your specific situation. Some people need all wisdom teeth removed, while others might only need one or two taken out. We'll answer all your questions so you can feel confident about your decision.
Comfortable Procedure
On the day of your procedure, we make sure you're completely comfortable before starting. Depending on your preference and the complexity of your case, we offer local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. Most wisdom tooth removals take less than an hour.
Supported Recovery
After your procedure, we provide detailed care instructions and everything you need for recovery. We'll check in with you to make sure your healing is on track and answer any questions that come up.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth often cause problems because most people's mouths don't have enough room for them. When wisdom teeth try to come in without enough space, they can:
- Grow sideways into nearby teeth
- Get stuck partially under the gums (impacted)
- Create pockets where bacteria grow
- Push other teeth out of alignment
- Form cysts that damage bone and roots
Removing problematic wisdom teeth early prevents these issues and is usually easier than waiting until problems develop.
When Is the Best Time for Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Most dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth between ages 16-25, when the roots aren't fully formed and removal is easier. However, wisdom teeth can be removed at any age if they're causing problems.
During your regular dental checkups, we monitor your wisdom teeth development and can recommend the best timing for your specific situation.
Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Removal
Most people return to normal activities within a few days after wisdom teeth removal. Here's what to expect:
- The first 24-48 hours: Some swelling and discomfort
- Days 3-7: Gradual improvement
- Week 2: Most patients feel back to normal
We'll provide specific instructions for eating, drinking, and cleaning your mouth during recovery. Following these instructions carefully helps prevent complications like dry socket.
Will My Insurance Cover Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Many dental insurance plans cover part or all of wisdom teeth removal, especially when it's medically necessary. We'll help you understand your coverage before your procedure and work with your insurance company to maximize your benefits.
