We understand that the prospect of tooth extraction can feel overwhelming, which is why we're committed to making your experience as smooth and painless as possible.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between ages 17-25. These are the last teeth to develop and appear at the very back of your mouth, with most people having four wisdom teeth – two on top and two on bottom. While some people's wisdom teeth emerge without issues, many experience complications that require professional intervention.

Why Are Wisdom Teeth So Often Removed?

Several common situations necessitate wisdom teeth removal:

  • Impaction: When wisdom teeth don't have enough room to emerge properly, they become impacted within the jaw. This impaction can cause significant pain and potentially damage neighboring teeth.
  • Partial Emergence: Sometimes wisdom teeth only partially break through the gum line, creating pockets where bacteria can collect and lead to infection. This situation often results in swelling and discomfort.
  • Crowding: Even when wisdom teeth emerge fully, they may cause neighboring teeth to shift, potentially undoing previous orthodontic work or creating alignment issues.
  • Preventive Care: Many dentists recommend removal before problems develop, as extraction is typically easier in younger patients, and recovery tends to be smoother.

What Is The Extraction Process?

Dr. Raffoul follows a careful, systematic approach to wisdom teeth removal:

Initial Consultation

During your first visit, we'll take X-rays to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and develop a customized treatment plan. Dr. Raffoul will discuss your anesthesia options and provide detailed pre-surgery instructions.

The Surgery

Your comfort is our priority during the extraction procedure. We offer several anesthesia options to ensure you feel no pain during the surgery. Dr. Raffoul uses advanced techniques to remove wisdom teeth with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

Recovery Period

Most patients return to their normal activities within a few days. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and prevent complications.
