Wisdom Teeth Surgical Solutions
Say goodbye to painful extractions with the surgical expertise of Davary & Smith Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Dental Implant Center. We specialize in routine to complex wisdom teeth extractions in an environment designed for your comfort and care.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the final teeth to arrive, usually around the age of 17. Many patients don’t have enough room in the mouth for these extra molars. Posing a threat to your oral health, wisdom teeth often become impacted and can severely disrupt the alignment of your smile, cause infection, damage the jawbone and lead to long-term oral health issues. This is why we recommend having wisdom teeth, or third molars, extracted as soon as possible.
Symptoms of Wisdom Teeth Issues
- Red, tender, bleeding, or swollen gums
- Jaw pain or swelling
- Headaches
- Bad breath or sour taste
- Difficulty opening your mouth
- Swollen lymph nodes around the neck
Why Act Now?
Over 10 million wisdom teeth are removed annually in the U.S., with 60% being preventative. With age, your jawbone hardens and wisdom teeth fully develop their roots making extraction in your teens or early twenties beneficial for:
- Faster recovery for less post op discomfort
- More predictable healing and outcomes
- Lower risk of complications
