The basics

Why remove wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that come in during the late teens or early twenties. Many mouths don’t have room for them.

When they’re impacted, crowded, or partially erupted, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth — so removal is often recommended.

We evaluate them with an exam and imaging, and remove them comfortably, with sedation options for anxious patients.
