Wisdom teeth are the last to come in, as they are the furthest back molars. Most people find their wisdom teeth erupt in their late teens or early twenties.

Tooth extraction is never our first choice for dental treatment. But, it may be necessary for a severely damaged, decayed, or infected tooth that’s beyond repair. We may also recommend tooth removal if there isn’t enough space in your mouth for new teeth, or if your wisdom teeth are impacted. Our dental team evaluates your dental health and discusses your options with you to determine if tooth extraction is necessary.
Before the procedure, we numb the area around the tooth to minimize discomfort. Depending on the case, we may also offer sedation to help you relax during the procedure. Our dental team gently removes the tooth. Then we place a gauze pad over the extraction site to help stop any bleeding. We also provide you with instructions on how to care for the extraction site.
Recovery time after tooth removal varies. an vary depending on the individual case. For most people, it takes a few days to a week to recover fully. It’s normal to experience minor discomfort, swelling, and bleeding after the procedure. Our dental team provides you with aftercare instructions to help you manage any discomfort and prevent complications.
