Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people never have issues with their wisdom teeth, many experience problems due to lack of space in the jaw. This can cause the wisdom teeth to become impacted, meaning they are unable to emerge fully or align properly.

At South Lake Smiles, our dentists carefully assess the positioning and health of your wisdom teeth through X-rays and a thorough examination. Extraction may be recommended if:

The wisdom teeth are impacted.
They are causing pain, swelling, or infections.
There’s a risk of crowding or misalignment of other teeth.
You’re experiencing tooth decay or gum disease related to the wisdom teeth.

Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing immediate issues, removing them early can prevent future complications.

At South Lake Smiles, we are committed to providing compassionate and expert dental care. Our team has extensive experience in wisdom tooth extractions, and we prioritize patient comfort, ensuring that you are well-informed and confident about your treatment.
