CLEAR ANSWERS. CONSIDERED CARE.
Why a tooth may need removal
Decay, infection, orthodontic needs, or problems with wisdom teeth can lead to an extraction recommendation. Your clinician considers the tooth and surrounding structures before discussing the options.
A closer look at wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to develop. Some do not fully emerge and may be difficult to keep clean. An examination and appropriate imaging help assess their position and whether treatment or monitoring is suitable.
Understand your next steps
Discuss anxiety, medical conditions, medications, and sedation preferences before treatment. Ask about your instructions, follow-up, and whether replacement of an extracted tooth should be part of the plan.
Before your visit, review our surgical preparation resources. Your personal instructions depend on the procedure and anesthesia chosen.
Your questions, answered.
Will every wisdom tooth need to be removed?
The recommendation depends on your examination, imaging, symptoms, and risk factors. Arrange an assessment rather than assuming all wisdom teeth need the same treatment.
Can I ask about sedation?
Yes. Share any concerns when scheduling and during your consultation so the appropriate options can be discussed.
General patient education. Your treatment plan requires an individual evaluation.
