Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom teeth removal focuses on taking out the third molars at the back of your mouth, which often cause problems when they don’t have enough room to come in properly. These teeth can grow in at an angle, get stuck (impacted), or create pain, swelling, infection, or crowding of your other teeth. During the procedure, your dentist or oral surgeon numbs the area (and may use sedation if needed), then carefully removes the wisdom teeth and places stitches if necessary. Taking out troublesome wisdom teeth can help prevent future discomfort, infections, and damage to nearby teeth, giving you a healthier, more comfortable mouth long term.
