Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

  • Preserve Smile: Prevents overcrowding and shifting of other teeth
  • Reduce Complication Risk: Reduces risk of infection, cysts, or gum disease
  • Prevent/Eliminate Pain: Eliminates pain from impacted or partially erupted teeth
  • Treatment Timing: Recover easier for patients in late teens to early 20s

How Wisdom Teeth Removal Works

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop, usually appearing in late adolescence or early adulthood. In many cases, they become impacted—trapped beneath the gums—or grow in at an angle, which can cause pain, swelling, or misalignment.

At North Lakewood Dental, we start with digital X-rays to evaluate your wisdom teeth and determine whether extraction is necessary. If so, we’ll walk you through the process and offer local anesthesia or oral sedation to keep you comfortable. After the procedure, we’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you recover quickly.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction FAQ

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Not always. We only recommend removal if they’re impacted, causing issues, or likely to create problems later.

What age is best for wisdom teeth removal?

Typically between ages 17 and 25, before the roots fully develop and the bone becomes denser.

Will I be awake during the procedure?

We offer local anesthesia and sedation options to ensure a comfortable, low-stress experience.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients feel better within 3–5 days. We’ll provide detailed instructions to help you heal quickly.

Can I go back to work or school after the extraction?

We recommend taking 1–2 days off for rest, especially if multiple teeth are removed or sedation is used.
