At Dental Elements, we understand the discomfort and anxiety associated with wisdom teeth, also known as third molars. Wisdom teeth often erupt late in life, causing pain, crowding, and potential damage to adjacent teeth. Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure that can effectively alleviate these issues and promote long-term oral health. Our experienced dentists are dedicated to providing personalized care and utilizing advanced techniques to ensure a safe and comfortable wisdom teeth removal experience.
Wisdom teeth removal, also known as third molar extraction, is a surgical procedure that involves removing one or more wisdom teeth. This procedure is often recommended when wisdom teeth:
Erupt incorrectly or become impacted: Wisdom teeth may erupt at an angle, causing pain and damage to adjacent teeth or the jawbone.
Cause overcrowding: Crowding of teeth can lead to misalignment, difficulty cleaning, and increased risk of gum disease.
Contribute to infection or damage: Wisdom teeth can harbor bacteria, leading to infection or damage to the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need wisdom teeth removal:
Pain, discomfort, or swelling around the wisdom teeth
Bad breath or a persistent foul taste in your mouth
Difficulty chewing or biting
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums around the wisdom teeth
Receding gums or visible bone loss
At Dental Elements, our dentists will thoroughly examine your wisdom teeth and surrounding tissues to determine if removal is necessary. The procedure typically involves:
Consultation: We will discuss your dental history, concerns, and treatment options to ensure a personalized approach.
Preoperative evaluation: We will take X-rays and conduct a thorough examination to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or general anesthesia will be administered to numb the area or provide sedation, depending on your needs.
Tooth extraction: The dentist will carefully access the wisdom tooth, remove it using specialized instruments, and clean the extraction site.
Post-surgical care: We will provide detailed instructions for post-surgical care, including pain management, wound care, and dietary restrictions.
