What is a Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more of the four adult molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often don't have enough room to erupt properly and can become impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth may lead to infection, abscesses, or other complications, making removal necessary to protect your oral health.

What the treatment involves

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more of the four adult molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often don't have enough room to erupt properly and can become impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth may lead to infection, abscesses, or other complications, making removal necessary to protect your oral health.

What to expect

Our dentists monitor wisdom teeth development through regular X-rays, allowing us to identify potential issues early. Removing wisdom teeth before they cause complications helps you avoid unnecessary pain and protects the health of your smile long-term.

Who needs wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. When there isn't enough room for them to grow in properly, or when they become tilted, rotated, or impacted, extraction is often recommended.

While most patients have their wisdom teeth removed in their late teens or early twenties, unaddressed wisdom teeth can cause serious problems later in life, including:

  • Pain and damage to adjacent teeth from teeth erupting at an angle

  • Trapped food debris, which increases the risk of decay and periodontal disease

  • Infections, which can spread to the face and jaw and require urgent care

  • Cysts, fluid-filled sacs that can damage the jawbone and, in rare cases, carry a small risk of cancer

  • If you're experiencing jaw pain, swelling, or tenderness near your back teeth, it may be time for an evaluation.
