Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Specialized Extraction: Wisdom teeth often cause issues such as overcrowding, misalignment, or infections. Our specialized extraction procedures aim to prevent these potential problems by carefully removing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure in which one or more of the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, are removed. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars located at the back of the mouth, and they typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, but extraction may be recommended in the following situations:

Impaction: Wisdom teeth often do not have enough space to fully emerge or align properly with the rest of the teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can grow at an angle, causing pain, crowding, and potential damage to adjacent teeth.

Crowding: The limited space in the jaw may lead to crowding issues when wisdom teeth emerge. This can affect the alignment of existing teeth, causing them to shift.

Pain and Discomfort: Wisdom teeth may cause pain, discomfort, or swelling, especially if they are impacted, infected, or partially erupted.

Infection and Gum Disease: Wisdom teeth that only partially emerge can create pockets where bacteria can accumulate, leading to infection and gum disease.

Cysts and Tumors: In rare cases, cysts or tumors may develop around impacted wisdom teeth, potentially causing damage to the surrounding structures.
