Markington Dental Wisdom Teeth Removal

The Ease of Wisdom Teeth Removal

For wisdom teeth emerging correctly, removal is a simple procedure. It is much like any other tooth extraction. This process typically takes under 30 minutes and utilizes local anesthesia, performed by one of Markington Dental’s expert dentists. For more complex cases, such as impacted wisdom teeth, our highly skilled and licensed professionals are equipped to perform oral surgery with minimal discomfort.

Why Get Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Wisdom teeth, the four back molars, typically emerge between the ages of 18 and 30. While historically necessary, modern diets often render them obsolete. These teeth can lead to issues like pain or decay in adjacent teeth, especially if they are impacted.
Although not always mandatory, wisdom tooth extraction is generally recommended for most individuals. At Markington Dental, we ensure a convenient and pain-free wisdom tooth removal experience.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth Must Be Removed

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause considerable pain and other dental issues. In such cases, removal is often the only solution. This involves oral surgery, a more intricate procedure than a standard tooth extraction.

The best course of action when you notice wisdom teeth erupting is to consult a dentist. A dental professional can assess whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or growing correctly and advise on the most suitable extraction method.
