Tooth extraction and grafting

Wisdom teeth removal

Third molars may be removed for pain, infection, decay, crowding risk, or damage to nearby structures.

A request does not guarantee that a nearby practice offers this service or has availability.

What the appointment may involve

Imaging shows root shape and nerve position; removal may be simple or surgical and can involve sedation options.

Good to know before choosing care

Not every wisdom tooth requires removal, so ask about the reason, risks, and monitoring alternative.

Questions worth asking a practice

  • What exam or records are needed before confirming that wisdom teeth removal is appropriate?
  • What alternatives, material choices, risks, and likely follow-up should I consider?
  • Who will perform the procedure, and does my situation call for a specialist?
  • What does the estimate include, and how will insurance benefits or financing be verified?
