Evaluation Comes First

Panoramic X-ray & Exam

We start with a panoramic X-ray and exam to check position, root development, nerve proximity, and any active infection. We’ll explain your options and ideal timing — many wisdom teeth can be monitored safely; others are best removed proactively to avoid problems later.

FAQ

Wisdom Teeth FAQs

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. We evaluate each case individually—healthy, fully erupted teeth that are easy to clean may be monitored.
What type of sedation do you offer?
We tailor options — from local anesthesia to oral sedation or nitrous — based on your needs and comfort.
How long is recovery?
Most people return to normal routines in 2–3 days; full healing takes longer. We’ll provide detailed home-care instructions.
Will removal affect my other teeth?
In some cases, removing impacted wisdom teeth helps prevent crowding or damage to adjacent molars.
