What is a wisdom tooth?

Wisdom teeth are your third molars located in the extreme corners of your jaws. They erupt long after all your other permanent teeth have erupted, usually during your late teenage years or early adulthood. Due to their late eruption, they often push against the other permanent teeth and cause overcrowding, malocclusion, etc. There’s no need to remove the wisdom teeth if they don’t affect the surrounding teeth. However, in most cases, they risk damaging the surrounding teeth or causing misalignment, necessitating wisdom teeth removal.

Wisdom tooth removal procedure details

Wisdom tooth removal is a minor surgery conducted under some form of anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort. Depending on the potential invasiveness of the procedure and your level of comfort, we offer general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or oral sedation. General anesthesia puts you to sleep for the complete procedure, local anesthesia only numbs the treatment area, and oral sedation eases your anxiety.

During the wisdom tooth removal, our dentist makes an incision in your gums to access the impacted wisdom tooth. If it’s stuck within the surrounding bone tissues, the dentist may have to cut the bone tissues to extract the tooth. Once it’s removed, the dentist sutures the wound and places an antiseptic gauze over the incision point to control the bleeding. The procedure concludes in a few minutes.

  • Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a nice big office that is comfortable.

    I was there for a new patient appointment to have x-rays taken and to meet the doctor, who I really liked. I then waited to see the dental hygienist for my cleaning and because I did both, I was there about 2 hours.
