Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need to Be Removed
Wisdom teeth — also known as third molars — usually erupt between ages 17 and 25. For many patients, there’s simply not enough space in the jaw to accommodate them, which can lead to complications.
Common problems include:
- Pain or pressure behind the molars
- Swelling or gum inflammation
- Infection or cysts around the tooth
- Damage to neighboring teeth
- Crowding that disrupts alignment
- Difficulty cleaning partially erupted teeth
Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t painful, removal may still be recommended to prevent future problems.
Our Wisdom Tooth Services
We offer comprehensive removal options — from simple extractions to complex cases — using 3D imaging, local anesthesia, and optional sedation dentistry for maximum comfort.
Standard Wisdom Tooth Removal
For fully erupted or mildly impacted teeth, we perform gentle surgical extractions with minimal downtime.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted teeth are stuck below the gum line or trapped in the bone. Removal requires careful surgical access, which we complete in-office with digital planning to minimize risk and promote healing.
Coronectomy
In select cases, where the tooth’s roots are very close to nerves or other critical structures, we may perform a coronectomy — a procedure that removes the top of the tooth while leaving the roots in place. This lowers the risk of nerve damage while still relieving pressure and preventing infection.
Sedation Options for Anxious Patients
Wisdom teeth removal can cause stress for many patients — especially teens, young adults, or those with dental anxiety. We provide a calm, judgment-free environment and offer sedation options to help you or your child feel safe and relaxed throughout the procedure.
We also work with many patients who are medically complex or who have delayed treatment due to fear. You’re not alone — and we’re here to help.

FAQs About Wisdom Teeth Removal
When is the best age to remove wisdom teeth?
Most patients benefit from removal between ages 16–22, when the roots are still developing. Early removal reduces risk of complications.
Is the procedure painful?
No. We use local anesthesia and sedation to ensure a pain-free experience. Some soreness after the procedure is normal and manageable.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, and easy to clean, we may monitor them instead of removing them.
What is a coronectomy?
A coronectomy removes only the crown of the tooth while leaving the roots intact — typically used when roots are near vital nerves to reduce risk.
How long is recovery?
Most patients heal in 3–7 days. We’ll give you full post-op instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
