Extractions of wisdom teeth, or any other teeth within the mouth, are performed right in the comfort of our office and are virtually painless with use of a local anesthetic.
Tooth extractions may be performed when a tooth is broken, damaged or diseased, or if the tooth results in overcrowding in the mouth. Teeth may also be extracted as a precursor to other dental procedures, such as dental implants, bridges or dentures.
Wisdom teeth extraction is common and is a result of wisdom teeth being impacted, not growing in properly or at the correct angle, or causing overcrowding. Wisdom tooth extraction can also be a preventative measure to reduce future problems related to teeth and gums.
