Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to develop, usually making their appearance between the ages of 17 and 25. Because many people don’t have enough space in their mouths for these teeth to erupt properly, they can cause a variety of problems. Issues like impaction, crowding, infection, gum disease, and decay in nearby teeth are common when wisdom teeth are left untreated. Extraction is a standard procedure that helps prevent or address these complications, protecting both your comfort and your long-term oral health.
The process of removing wisdom teeth typically includes the following steps:
Wisdom tooth removal can address a wide range of dental concerns that often arise when these teeth don’t erupt properly.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Extraction is commonly recommended for impacted wisdom teeth that remain trapped beneath the gums, which can lead to swelling, pain, and complications.
Crowding: Removal can also prevent or relieve overcrowding of nearby teeth, protecting the alignment of your smile.
Infection: Pain & Discomfort: Infections or persistent pain that develops around partially erupted wisdom teeth can be resolved or prevented through extraction.
Cysts & Tumors: In some cases, removal is also necessary to treat or prevent cysts and tumors that may form around impacted wisdom teeth.
Removing problem wisdom teeth early protects your oral health in several ways:
Recovery after wisdom tooth removal differs from person to person, depending on the complexity of the extraction and your individual healing speed. It’s common to experience swelling, mild bleeding, and some soreness for a few days after the procedure. Our dentists provide detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing recovery support to ensure a smooth and comfortable healing process.
Wisdom tooth removal can provide long-lasting improvements for your oral health. By eliminating these teeth, problems such as pain, infection, and crowding are resolved. While healing can take several weeks, you’ll have follow-up appointments with our team to ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly and comfortably.
During the procedure, local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available for added relaxation. While some soreness and swelling are normal afterward, discomfort is usually manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
The length of the procedure depends on how many teeth are being removed and whether they are impacted. In most cases, extractions are finished within 45–60 minutes, though more complex situations may require additional time.
Most patients feel ready to return to their daily routines within a few days. However, full healing may take up to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the extraction and how your body recovers.
As with any oral surgery, potential risks include infection, dry socket, or nerve irritation. Our team will review these risks in detail and take every precaution to ensure a safe outcome.
You’ll receive clear instructions on caring for your mouth after surgery, including how to manage bleeding, swelling, and discomfort, as well as tips for keeping the extraction sites clean to support healing.
Often, all four wisdom teeth are removed at once to prevent overcrowding, shifting, or other complications.
Not always. Some patients never experience problems and can keep their wisdom teeth for life. Extractions are recommended only when the teeth are impacted, cause pain, or pose risks to your overall oral health.
