Wisdom Teeth Removal

If a wisdom tooth doesn’t have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you’ll likely need to have it pulled. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon.

To prevent potential future problems, some dentists and oral surgeons recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if impacted teeth aren’t currently causing problems.

Removal of Impacted Wisdom Teeth and Molars

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last permanent teeth to appear (erupt) in the mouth. These teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people never develop wisdom teeth. For others, wisdom teeth erupt normally — just as their other molars did — and cause no problems. Many people develop impacted wisdom teeth — teeth that don’t have enough room to erupt into the mouth or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth may erupt only partially or not at all.

An impacted wisdom tooth may:

Grow at an angle toward the next tooth (second molar)
Grow at an angle toward the back of the mouth
Grow at a right angle to the other teeth, as if the wisdom tooth is “lying down” within the jawbone
Grow straight up or down like other teeth but stay trapped within the jawbone

How to Prepare for Wisdom Tooth Removal

The procedure may me performed in the office. However, if your tooth is deeply impacted or if the extraction requires an in-depth surgical approach, your dentist may suggest you see an oral surgeon. In addition to making the area numb with local anesthetic, your surgeon may suggest sedation to allow you to be more comfortable during the procedure.

A wisdom tooth extraction is almost always performed as an outpatient procedure. This means that you go home the same day.

You’ll receive instructions from the hospital or dental clinic staff on what to do before the surgery and the day of your scheduled surgery.

Dr. Zrik is one of the best dentists! I used to have such a large fear of dentists and ever since I started coming to artistic, I feel at ease. They do their best to work with your fears and get a plan together to get your dental health back to where it should be!!!!!

I love this practice! Prior to visiting Artistic, it had been a very long time since I had been to the dentist. Everyone here is extremely kind and welcoming. I felt safe and the providers proved to be amazing. My exam was very quick and efficient. I had a wisdom teeth extraction that went very well and also extremely efficient. Could not be happier

My family and I have been coming here for years. The staff really care about your oral health and are always punctual and professional. Rosa is the best hygienist, she is very gentle and has a warm personality that makes getting my teeth cleaned a wonderful experience to look forward to. Dr. Revoir and Dr. Z always take their time to answer any questions I might have. I highly recommend this dental office.

I moved here not that long ago and found this office on google. I have to say I am very impressed. My appt was timely I did not have to wait for forever in the waiting room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating in a genuine way. The exam was through and they explained everything to me so it was easy to understand. Let’s be honest most people don’t like going to the dentist, but my experience here was as painless as this type of thing can be. Will definitely be using this as my new dentist!
