Expert care for the safe & comfortable removal of Wisdom Teeth.
Our goal is to evaluate and treat wisdom teeth early — preventing problems before they start and ensuring a smooth, comfortable experience.
By the late teens or early twenties, most adults develop a third set of molars — commonly known as wisdom teeth. While some people have enough space for these teeth to grow in properly, many do not. When there isn’t enough room, wisdom teeth can become impacted, leading to pain, crowding, or infection.
The Removal Process
Wisdom tooth extraction is typically performed under IV sedation for your comfort.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth often lack room to grow properly, which can cause pain, swelling, infection, crowding, jaw discomfort, or cysts. Early removal helps prevent these issues and makes surgery easier.
Oral Examination & Evaluation
Doctors use exams and imaging to assess wisdom teeth. Early checks, usually in the mid-teens, make treatment easier, speed recovery, and prevent future problems.
Removal
After removal, the area is cleaned and sutured, and you’ll rest until ready to go home. You’ll receive care instructions, any needed medication, and a follow-up appointment.
Safety | Precision | Comfort
Our surgical suites are equipped with advanced monitoring technology, and our experienced team ensures every procedure is performed with safety, precision, and comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I have my wisdom teeth removed?
Wisdom teeth are usually checked in the mid-to-late teens. Removing them early, before roots fully form, can prevent problems and make recovery easier.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
You won’t feel pain during wisdom teeth removal because anesthesia is used. Mild swelling or soreness afterward is normal and can be managed with medication, ice, and rest.
How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?
Most people feel better within 3-5 days, with full healing usually taking one to two weeks.
What can I eat after my surgery?
Eat soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs and smoothies at first. Avoid hot or crunchy foods initially. Most people are comfortable returning to a normal diet by the first week.
What are the signs of wisdom teeth problems?
Signs include jaw pain, swelling, tender gums, headaches, or crowding of nearby teeth.
How can I make recovery from wisdom teeth removal easier?
We offer platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to help aid in the recovery process. Plus we will review with you with a print out list of post-op instructions to make the recovery process smooth.
