Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that helps protect your oral health and prevent future dental complications. At Platinum Dental Group, our experienced dentists and team provide safe and effective wisdom teeth removal. Whether you are experiencing discomfort or need to remove your wisdom teeth as a precautionary measure, we are here to help you feel at ease throughout the process.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal Is Important
Wisdom teeth often erupt during the late teens or early twenties. In many cases, they can lead to issues such as overcrowding, misalignment or impacted teeth. Removing wisdom teeth can help:
- Prevent damage to neighboring teeth
- Reduce the risk of infection and decay
- Avoid pain caused by impacted teeth
- Protect your overall oral health
By addressing potential issues early, our dentists can help you avoid more complex dental problems in the future.
What to Expect During the Procedure
During the wisdom teeth removal procedure, we prioritize your comfort and safety. The process typically begins with a thorough examination and imaging to determine the position of your wisdom teeth. On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available to help you feel relaxed.
Dr. Haider Kalhan or Dr. Tamara Alkaradajhi carefully remove the wisdom teeth, ensuring minimal impact to surrounding tissues. In some cases, sutures may be placed to promote proper healing. We will also give you post-op instructions to follow after the procedure to ensure adequate healing.
