Wisdom Teeth Removal
Prevent Problems Before They Start with Safe Wisdom Teeth Surgery
Most people get their wisdom teeth between the ages of 17 and 25. These third molars often don’t have enough room to grow properly, leading to impaction, pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.

Have more questions? Reach out to us and we’d be happy to discuss your concerns.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth should be removed if there is not enough space in the mouth. Removal can help prevent future pain. If you are experiencing swelling, pain, redness at the site of the wisdom teeth, or discomfort, you may need your wisdom teeth removed.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The procedure for wisdom tooth removal normally involves freezing or outpatient anesthesia. This can help manage pain, in addition to prescribed pain medication during recovery.
How long is the recovery after wisdom tooth extraction?
Recovery from wisdom tooth removal typically takes several weeks. It is important to take special care during the first 3-5 days of recovery to ensure proper healing.
Should all four wisdom teeth be removed?
We will help determine the number of teeth needing removal using x-rays or scans. Some people may not have four wisdom teeth, and others may not need them removed at all. If your teeth are impacted, they will likely need to be removed.
How long does it take to remove wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth removal appointments are typically two hours long. The procedure itself often takes between 30 minutes and one hour.
