Wisdom Teeth Removal

dentist explaing patient dental imaging

Between the ages of 16 to 25, a person’s third molars, or wisdom teeth, are likely to erupt. These are the last set of teeth to come through and the jaw is not always able to accommodate four additional teeth. Because permanent teeth are fully developed and most people have already received orthodontic treatments, wisdom teeth will need to be removed, or extracted, so that they don’t cause serious problems, such as misalignment, infection, impaction, or bone damage.

Even if no issues are apparent, many people have their wisdom teeth removed early to head off future problems. When performed proactively and before root systems have been fully established, the surgery is usually less complicated.

At Peninsula Dentistry, Dr. James Wisner and Dr. Adam Forehand will help you avoid or remedy complications associated with wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the most common oral surgeries, but we know that patients are nervous about it. Our patient-focused team will be by your side the whole way to ensure you have a positive experience. Additionally, we offer oral, intravenous and nitrous oxide sedation to help you relax during the procedure.

After the surgery, we’ll equip you with post-operative instructions to minimize discomfort and swelling and help you take excellent care of your mouth while your gums are healing. You’ll be put on a temporary soft foods diet and encouraged to rinse your mouth a few times each day until the stitches either dissolve or are removed.

We are here to help you with all of your oral health needs. We are serious about your health and care. Our expertise is supported by cutting edge technology and advanced sterilization procedures.

Contact us today to set up an evaluation of your wisdom teeth or to discuss any of your oral health needs.

No Insurance?
No Problem!

Join our Premier Plan Today

Dentistry should be as affordable as it is high-quality. At Peninsula Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we firmly believe that the terms of a dental insurance plan (or lack thereof) should not dictate the quality of care our patients deserve. That’s why we are pleased to offer our in-house savings plan. Now, patients who are uninsured can STILL save on general, preventative, and even ortho services!
