What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
The last two molars on the upper and lower arch typically emerge during the lase teen years, are known as wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, which are also known as the third molars, often lack the necessary room to comfortably emerge. These molars are difficult to keep bacteria-free and can require removal to safeguard general dental wellness. Wisdom teeth could be impacted (trapped beneath the gums or bone), misaligned, or unable to emerge evenly, leading to several oral concerns. Dr. Umansky performs third molar removals for Atascocita, TX individuals to restore oral wellness and protect against jaw pain and deterioration. If you or your teen have aching or ingrown wisdom teeth, schedule a consultation at Aesthetic Dentistry Associates to learn more about your treatment options.
How Are Wisdom Tooth Extractions Performed?
Aesthetic Dentistry Associates performs wisdom tooth extractions while the individual is under local anesthesia; however, this surgery might also be done with sedation dentistry techniques to ensure relaxation. Many cases of wisdom teeth extraction require an excision method, most notably when the teeth are impacted, have bent roots, or are firmly attached to the jaw. Once Dr. Umansky places an opening in the gum tissues to expose the tooth, he might split it into smaller pieces, offering a simpler removal. Depending on your personal needs, all four of the wisdom teeth might be addressed in the same visit. Stitches may be used to protect the removal sites and promote the healing process. Our highly talented team will send you off with aftercare rules to adhere to during the subsequent days.
What Are the Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extractions?
Removing wisdom teeth before they cause significant issues can offer numerous benefits, contributing to a healthier mouth and reducing the likelihood of future dental complications. The advantages clients can glean from wisdom teeth removal include:
- Prevention of Overcrowding: Removing them can prevent the need for orthodontic treatments to correct the misalignment that overcrowding can cause.
- Reduced Risk of Oral Infection: Impacted wisdom teeth are prone to becoming infected, as they create hard-to-clean areas in the mouth. Extraction eliminates these breeding grounds for bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of oral infections.
- Pain Relief: Wisdom teeth removal alleviates this pain and contributes to a more comfortable oral environment.
- Prevention of Cysts and Tumors: In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to the development of cysts or tumors around the tooth, which can damage the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
- Improved Oral Hygiene: With the removal of wisdom teeth, patients often find it easier to clean their teeth effectively, leading to improved oral hygiene.
Aesthetic Dentistry Associates Reviews
Had a tooth extraction. All went well. Very pleased
I went in today for a simple tooth extraction, but with my fear and anxiety after previous bad experiences I was not happy about going and getting it done, but the people there where beyond helpful and reassuring that everything was going to be okay, as well as answering my million questions. I had an iv sedation (I think that's what it was) and it was a breeze and was over in what felt like no time, I'll definitely be going back for all my dental needs!
From the time my mother and I walked in we were greeted with nothing short of amazing service! Mercedes kept in touch about my mom's procedure and guided us through it all step by step. Dr. Nikmard did an exceptional job on my wisdom tooth extraction. He also was able to guide us through the extensive procedure my mom needed and he has been wonderful with making sure we understood it and got the best results. Will definitely be back here for any further dental needs in the future.
Had a good overall experience in my wisdom tooth removal. The procedure seemed scary as I had to take out all 4 of my wisdom teeth and I didn't want to take IV. Dr Hyung made me comfortable with the procedure and appropriate anesthetics were given and I never felt any pain during the procedure. The medications helped with the pain for few days after procedure and after 1.5 weeks everything was back in good shape. The front office also was very proactive in their work. They verified my insurance before my arrival, and I did not have any wait times during any of my visits to the office.
Dr. Bollman and her assistant Ale were both wonderful. Explain everything that was going to happen and I had no pain for tooth extraction.
