Wisdom Teeth Extractions: A Sound Solution to a Common Problem

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to erupt in the mouth. However, for many patients, there is insufficient space to accommodate full eruption of these teeth. This often creates a number of oral complications, leading to the need for wisdom teeth extractions. Whether you or a loved one has tooth pain or damage to neighboring teeth due to impacted wisdom teeth, Leading Edge Oral Surgery offers the expert care and wisdom teeth extractions you need for happy, healthy smiles. As leading oral surgeons, our doctors specialize in wisdom teeth extractions, providing your family the highest standard of treatment, safety and efficiency available anywhere. We are anesthesia certified, and offer IV sedation dentistry along with several other effective sedation options. You and your family can feel confident in undergoing wisdom teeth extractions with a team who places your comfort, oral health and well-being first.

When Are Wisdom Teeth Extractions Necessary?

Gum or facial swelling
Inflammation or redness
Tooth or gum pain
Fully or partially impacted wisdom teeth
Cysts or tumors
Difficulty opening
Change in tooth alignment (crowding)

Timely Wisdom Teeth Extractions Prevent Oral Complications

Wisdom teeth often begin to erupt in the late teen to early adult years. This is also the most ideal time for wisdom teeth extractions, as patients in this age group experience a more favorable, faster response to healing than older adults. To ensure timely treatment, our doctors recommend evaluations for wisdom teeth extractions in the mid-teen years. Leaving problematic wisdom teeth in place increases the risk of:

Pain and swelling
Bone and nerve damage
Tooth decay and gum disease
Abscesses, cysts and tumors
Damage to neighboring teeth
Crowding or malpositioning of teeth
Jaw joint problems
Systemic illness
