Restore Your Oral Health with Professional Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal Process 

At Crescent Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we make the wisdom teeth removal process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:

1. Comprehensive Examination

Before your procedure, our dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw to assess the position of your wisdom teeth. We may take X-rays to get a clearer picture of the teeth and their roots. This helps us determine the best course of action and plan your treatment accordingly.

2. Anesthesia Options

To ensure your comfort, we offer several anesthesia options for wisdom teeth removal, depending on the complexity of your case and your preferences. These options include:

  • Local Anesthesia: Numbs the area around the wisdom teeth while you remain awake. This is ideal for simple extractions.
  • Sedation: Helps you relax and feel at ease during the procedure. You’ll be awake, but in a deeply relaxed state.
  • General Anesthesia: Used for more complex cases, where you’ll be fully asleep throughout the procedure.

We will discuss the best option for you during your consultation to ensure that you feel comfortable and well taken care of.

3. Extraction of Wisdom Teeth

Once you’re fully numb and relaxed, the dentist will begin the extraction process. Depending on the position and health of the wisdom teeth, the procedure may involve making small incisions in the gum tissue to access the teeth. In some cases, the teeth may need to be broken into smaller pieces for easier removal.

Our team uses advanced techniques and equipment to perform the procedure as efficiently and gently as possible, ensuring minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery.

4. Post-Operative Care

After the wisdom teeth have been removed, we’ll provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help with your recovery. This includes tips on managing pain, reducing swelling, and caring for the surgical sites. We may prescribe medications to manage pain or prevent infection, and we’ll schedule a follow-up visit to monitor your healing progress.

  • How do I know if I need my wisdom teeth removed?

    If you’re experiencing pain, discomfort, or difficulty with your wisdom teeth, it may be time to have them removed. Our dentist can evaluate your condition and determine whether extraction is necessary based on your symptoms and X-ray results.

  • Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

    Thanks to local anesthesia, sedation options, and advanced techniques, most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure. Afterward, mild discomfort or swelling is common but can be managed with medications and proper care.

  • How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

    Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients recover within 3-7 days. Swelling and discomfort usually subside within a few days, and you may need to follow soft-food and rest instructions for a smooth recovery.

  • Will I need stitches after wisdom teeth removal?

    In some cases, stitches may be necessary to close the incision sites. These stitches are typically dissolvable, so you won’t need to have them removed.

  • Can I eat after wisdom teeth removal?

    For the first few days, it’s best to stick to soft foods and avoid chewing directly on the extraction sites. You’ll also need to avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that can irritate the surgical areas.
