Wisdom-Tooth Extractions

What it is: Wisdom teeth are evaluated for pain, infection, decay, gum problems, impaction and their relationship to nearby structures.

When considered: Removal may be considered when disease, repeated symptoms or documented risk outweighs retention.

What to expect: We begin with an examination and appropriate records, explain the findings, and tailor the sequence to the tooth, tissues, bite, health and goals.

Limits and next step: Suitability, timing and outcome depend on the clinical findings. Alternatives, maintenance and referral needs are reviewed before treatment.
