What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Most people get their wisdom teeth in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes they erupt without issues, but other times there is not enough space to accommodate them. In those cases, your wisdom teeth may not come in fully. These ‘impacted’ wisdom teeth can cause swelling, redness, irritation, tenderness, and intense pain.
Do I Need to Remove My Wisdom Teeth?
It depends on the positioning. If you have enough space for eruption, you may not need to have your wisdom teeth removed. A 3D scan will help us determine whether or not your incoming wisdom teeth will be a problem. If your wisdom teeth are only partially erupted or impacted, you should have them removed as soon as possible before they cause tooth decay, gum disease, infection and shifting of other teeth.
Does It Hurt?
Your oral surgeon will ensure the area surrounding your wisdom teeth is numb. You may feel some pressure as the teeth are extracted. If you experience dental anxiety, please tell us! We offer many dental sedation options to keep you relaxed.

When should I get my wisdom teeth removed?
It is easiest to remove wisdom teeth shortly after they erupt, so the earlier the better.

How long is the recovery after wisdom tooth extractions?
Recovery time depends on the number of teeth removed. We’ll give you detailed post-op instructions and medication to keep you comfortable and speed up your recovery.

Dental bridges can last up to 10 years with proper care.
Do you remove wisdom teeth for teens and adults?
