Wisdom Tooth Extraction
WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION

Safe and Comfortable Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop, usually emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. While some wisdom teeth grow normally, many become impacted or do not have enough space to erupt properly, leading to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth.

What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to remove one or more third molars that are causing problems or are likely to cause future complications.

Depending on the position of the tooth, the extraction may be a simple procedure or a surgical removal for impacted wisdom teeth. Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps protect your oral health, relieve pain, and prevent more serious dental issues in the future.
