Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Wisdom teeth often need removal when there is not enough room for them to erupt properly, leading to impaction, crowding, or infection. Even painless wisdom teeth can cause hidden problems, which is why we monitor them with X-rays. If they are healthy, well positioned, and easy to clean, removal may not be necessary. An exam and imaging at Concierge Dental Design help us make the right call for you.

The area is numbed and sedation options are available, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Afterward, most people have swelling and soreness for a few days that responds well to pain relief and cold compresses. Impacted teeth may involve a bit more recovery than simple cases. We provide detailed aftercare to keep you on track.

Most people feel noticeably better within three to five days, with fuller healing of the gum tissue over a couple of weeks. Rest, soft foods, and gentle care of the area speed things along. Avoiding straws and smoking protects the healing sites. We will see you for a quick follow-up to confirm everything is healing well.

Impacted or hard-to-clean wisdom teeth can lead to decay, gum infection, cysts, and crowding of neighboring teeth. Pain and swelling often come and go before becoming a bigger problem. Removing them at the right time helps you avoid more complex treatment later. We only recommend extraction when the benefits clearly outweigh leaving them in place.
