Many people’s mouths don’t have enough room for wisdom teeth, which typically appear between ages 17 and 25. When these teeth try to come in, they can become impacted (stuck under the gums), grow at odd angles, or push against other teeth. This can lead to pain, infection, and damage to nearby healthy teeth.
The wisdom teeth removal process starts with detailed X-rays to see exactly how your teeth are positioned. During the procedure, your dentist will carefully remove your teeth while you’re comfortably reclined. You should feel back to normal after a few days of rest, and removing wisdom teeth prevents years of potential problems.
Choose from laughing gas, which helps you feel relaxed but wears off quickly, or oral conscious sedation, which creates a deeper state of relaxation throughout your surgery. Some patients who choose oral sedation even nap through their treatment.
Our office also has soft blankets, comfy pillows, and a caring team who will treat you like family.

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in. By that point, your jaw may not have enough space for them to emerge properly. This can create overcrowding and pain. Sometimes, wisdom teeth are impacted or only partially emerge, which can make you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease if bacteria gets trapped there. Your dentist can let you know whether wisdom teeth removal is the best option for your dental health.
We recommend removing wisdom teeth before the age of 25 if possible. Before then, your tooth roots and bones are more flexible, which means a faster recovery. We use 3-D imaging to reveal problems like impacted wisdom teeth and teeth that are coming in sideways. If we see such complications, it’s best to remove the wisdom teeth ASAP.
You can expect to experience tenderness and swelling for several days. You’ll want to relax and avoid any type of strenuous physical activity. We’ll offer you instructions on diet, dental hygiene, and other elements of recovery. Swishing gently with lukewarm salt water will ease discomfort and help clean your mouth out. Complete recovery takes up to two weeks.
