Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Smiles on Finch conducts a full examination of your wisdom teeth, including x-rays, to evaluate the position of the teeth and which ones may need to be pulled.

While some people need all four teeth pulled, some may only need one, two, or three taken out. When you come in for a tooth extraction, our friendly and experienced staff make sure you’re comfortable and will administer soothing anesthesia or sedation. State-of-the-art equipment allows for precise removal of each tooth to minimize discomfort.

Wisdom teeth removal does not require an overnight stay, and once you’ve recovered and the pain is under control, you can return home. Our caring staff will provide after-care instructions and contact information in case of any problems. Recovery takes about a week, and a staff member will check with you to see how you’re doing. Don’t ignore the pain caused by impacted wisdom teeth. Let our dental team do an examination and evaluation of your wisdom teeth for possible removal to prevent additional health issues and pain.

Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Wisdom teeth are considered third molars and are the last four teeth to emerge after all other adult teeth have grown in. This typically occurs between the ages of 17 and 25-years-old. Wisdom teeth are located at the very end of the molars on the top, bottom, and both sides of the mouth.

When there isn’t enough room in the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth may not be able to erupt or emerge, and they become impacted.
