WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

Home Services

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth. If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you'll likely need to have it removed.

Why is it done?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last permanent teeth to appear (erupt) in the mouth. These teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25 years. Many people develop impacted wisdom teeth — teeth that don't have enough room to erupt into the mouth or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth may erupt only partially or not at all.

Problems with impacted wisdom teeth

You'll likely need your impacted wisdom tooth removed if it results in problems such as:

  • Pain
  • Food impaction
  • Infection or gum disease (periodontal disease)
  • Tooth decay in a partially erupted wisdom tooth
  • Damage to a nearby tooth or surrounding bone
  • Development of a fluid-filled sac (cyst) around the wisdom tooth.
