Resolve Oral Pain and Restore Your Oral Health with Wisdom Teeth Extractions.
Wisdom teeth typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties, when most adult teeth have already settled into place. Sometimes, wisdom teeth can develop without problems, but this is rare. Most people with wisdom teeth experience issues, and extraction is the only remedy.
Murphy Family Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry offer expert wisdom teeth removal services in Murphy, Texas, and the nearby locations. Whether you need one tooth or multiple teeth removed, you can trust Masoud E. Najari for expert care. Although our dentist can handle even the most complex wisdom teeth extractions, we advise our patients to remove them at a younger age, before the roots become deeply anchored in the bone.
Why do my wisdom teeth need removal?
Your wisdom teeth don’t have to be removed. We constantly evaluate your tooth to determine if removal is necessary. If your wisdom teeth are well aligned, fully erupted, and don’t affect your oral hygiene or cause any problems, there’s often no need to remove them.
However, trouble-free wisdom teeth are rare. Often, the dentist will opt to remove your wisdom teeth because they will likely cause the following problems:
- Damage to the nearby structures
- Dental pain
- Increased risk of infections
- Overcrowding or misalignment
- Difficulty chewing
- Although rare, impacted wisdom teeth can cause cysts and tumors
Hidden dental issues like impacted wisdom teeth can’t be detected at home. That’s why you need routine dental check-ups with dental X-rays to detect hidden dental issues before they cause problems.
How are wisdom teeth removed?
Removing your wisdom teeth can be simple or surgical. The type of extraction depends on the positioning and health of your tooth. If your tooth is visible and accessible in the mouth, you’ll need a simple extraction. For this procedure, the dentist uses an elevator and forceps to loosen and pull out your tooth in one piece.
Surgical extractions are necessary for impacted teeth. The dentist will make an incision on your gums and jawbone to expose the impacted teeth. Then, we’ll section your tooth into several pieces for easier removal and minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues. After removing each tooth fragment, the dentist will irrigate the area to eliminate any traces of bacteria. The final step is to suture the wound to kick-start healing.
After your extraction, we’ll give you post-op instructions for a seamless recovery. Typically, we’ll give you medications and home remedies to manage discomfort and prevent health complications. Healing from an extraction is often event-free, and you’ll return to full health after a few days.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
Although dental extractions are surgical, we prioritize your comfort at every stage. Our local anesthetics are powerful enough to ensure a pain-free treatment. Still, we offer several sedation dentistry options to provide a comfortable dental experience. Our sedation dental care options include nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or oral conscious sedation. We’ll help you decide the best sedation dentistry option suitable for your case.
