Overview: Wisdom teeth are the last molars found at the rear of your mouth. If they lack sufficient space to erupt or grow correctly, they may lead to discomfort, infections, and harm to nearby teeth. At Danica Dental House, we focus on the careful removal of wisdom teeth to avert potential dental complications.
At Danica Dental House, we prioritize your comfort during wisdom teeth extractions, employing advanced technology to reduce discomfort and promote a speedy recovery. Our dedicated team focuses on providing individualized care to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience from beginning to end. Advantages of Wisdom Teeth Extractions: • Avoidance of pain and infections • Safeguarding neighboring teeth • Reducing the chance of misalignment • Lowering the likelihood of cysts and other issues
Wisdom teeth are usually extracted from ages 17 to 25, but your dentist can advise the ideal timing for your case.
Typically, recovery spans 3-5 days, but complete healing may require several weeks, depending on how complex the extraction was.
Wisdom teeth may need extraction when they are impacted, leading to discomfort, infections, or harm to adjacent teeth. Insufficient space can result in misalignment, which can create dental health issues.
Wisdom teeth are usually extracted between ages 17 and 25 when their roots are not fully developed, allowing for easier removal and faster recovery. Nonetheless, the ideal timing for extraction differs for everyone.
The procedure is conducted with local anesthesia, ensuring no pain is felt. Additionally, some patients may choose sedation to enhance relaxation. It's normal to experience mild discomfort or swelling afterward, which can be alleviated with pain relief medication.
Initial healing usually requires about 3-5 days, while complete recovery may take a few weeks. Expect swelling and discomfort to lessen after a few days.
Often, dissolvable stitches are employed, disappearing on their own in about one to two weeks. If non-dissolving stitches are utilized, they will be removed at a follow-up appointment.
"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
