Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth often come in at an angle, which puts pressure on the rest of your teeth and causes discomfort. For this reason, wisdom teeth removal is very common. Sometimes all four teeth are extracted, and sometimes only one tooth needs to be removed. Come visit our office and our team will help you know how many of your wisdom teeth will be extracted.
What To Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal
When you come to Matthews Smiles Dental for wisdom teeth removal, we prioritize your comfort and care throughout the entire process. During your initial consultation, we will evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth using advanced imaging technology to determine the best course of action. Our experienced dental team will walk you through the procedure step by step, so you know exactly what to expect. Whether you need one tooth removed or all four, our goal is to make the process as smooth and pain-free as possible. With our combination of modern techniques and sedation options, many patients find that their anxiety about the procedure quickly fades, and they are able to relax during the extraction.
Can I Be Sedated During The Procedure?
At Matthews Smiles Dental, we offer various types of sedation for this procedure, including nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, and IV sedation. We also offer local and general anesthetic. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss the severity of your extraction and explain your sedation options so you can make an informed decision and choose the best plan for you.
Recovery & Post-Procedure Care
After your wisdom teeth removal, it’s important to follow the post-procedure care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. In the days following the procedure, you’ll need to stick to soft foods and avoid drinking through a straw to prevent dry socket, a common complication after wisdom tooth extractions. We’ll also provide you with detailed guidelines for managing any swelling or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. At Matthews Smiles Dental, we are committed to your full recovery and encourage you to reach out to us with any questions or concerns after your procedure. With proper care, most patients heal quickly and experience little to no complications, getting back to their normal routines in no time.
