Usually between the ages of 17 and 25. They often grow in at odd angles, which can cause pain, crowding and gum inflammation.

Not necessarily. Some patients' wisdom teeth come in without issue, but a thorough assessment makes sure they are unlikely to cause problems in the short and long term.

What problems can wisdom teeth cause?

Pain, crowding and gum inflammation, as well as damage to neighboring teeth and the sinuses.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

It depends on how many teeth need attention, how they sit in the jaw, and whether they can be removed in our office or need an oral surgeon. Your assessment tells you which, and we give you the cost before treatment.

Does insurance cover wisdom teeth removal?

Many dental plans cover part of wisdom tooth extractions, and some surgical extractions fall under medical insurance. We can check your insurance benefits before treatment.

Does wisdom teeth removal hurt?

The area is numbed, so you feel pressure rather than pain during the extraction. Some soreness and swelling for a few days afterward is normal, and we will tell you how to manage it.

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

Most people feel better within a few days, and the gum keeps healing over the next few weeks.

Bite on gauze to control bleeding, rest, and eat soft foods for a few days. Do not smoke or drink through a straw, which can dislodge the clot and cause a dry socket, and follow the instructions we give you.
