Wisdom Teeth Removal
When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?
Why Wisdom Teeth May Need to Be Removed
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can create problems when there is not enough room for them to grow in properly. When wisdom teeth are not removed, they may contribute to irreversible bone and tooth loss, increased dental crowding, cyst formation, and severe infection.
The recommended time for wisdom teeth evaluation and removal is often between the ages of 15 and 25, helping prevent these issues before they occur.
When to Schedule an Evaluation
The Right Time to Check Wisdom Teeth
A wisdom teeth evaluation can help determine whether the teeth are developing normally or if removal may be recommended. An evaluation may be especially helpful for teens, college students, and young adults who want to address wisdom teeth before they begin causing pain or complications.
Desert Oral Surgery uses digital imaging for surgical planning and provides a customized treatment plan based on each patient’s needs.
Consultation & Treatment Options
Consultation Only or Same-Day Treatment
Patients may be given the option of consultation only or same-day treatment, depending on their needs and schedule. During the consultation, the team reviews the treatment plan in detail so patients understand the procedure and feel comfortable before moving forward.
The goal is to help patients feel informed, prepared, and supported throughout the wisdom teeth removal process.
Patient Comfort & Sedation
Comfort Throughout the Process
Desert Oral Surgery focuses on patient comfort throughout the wisdom teeth removal process, from consultation and preparation to sedation, surgery, and recovery. The team helps patients understand what to expect before surgery and provides detailed post-operative instructions after treatment.
After Wisdom Teeth Removal
Post-Operative Care & Follow-Up
After wisdom teeth removal, patients receive thorough post-operative instructions to support healing and recovery. Desert Oral Surgery moves through every step of the process with the patient, including preparation for sedation, post-operative guidance, and support throughout the healing process.
