What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is the extraction of problematic third molars, which are typically impacted, meaning they cannot fully emerge through your gums. Dr. Rod Gleave, DMD, a member of the American Dental Association, is well-known for the gentle care he provides, and due to his extensive experience he almost never has to refer a patient to an oral surgeon for extractions. That means you'll benefit from receiving your treatment right in our comfortable office, with a team that offers the comfort and courtesy you deserve while coping with this potential dental problem.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
-
Daily Discomfort: Ongoing pain or pressure at the back of your jaw is a classic sign your wisdom teeth are impacted and need attention.
-
Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that cannot fully emerge through your gums are typically impacted, and leaving them alone can lead to severe discomfort.
-
Smile Misalignment: Wisdom teeth pushing against their neighbors can cause misalignment of your smile. Removal protects your alignment.
-
Risk to Other Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth increase the risk of damage to your existing teeth, which is a strong reason to have them removed.
