Wisdom teeth are large molars and require enough space to fit properly in the mouth. Often there is not enough room left for these final teeth, causing them to put pressure on the existing teeth. This can create misalignment of the teeth, undoing expensive dental treatments or cause pain. If it is determined that there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to safely emerge, we may advise removing them to avoid possible interference with the other teeth.
Extracting Impacted Wisdom Teeth
In some cases, the wisdom teeth can become impacted in the gums. This can cause them to grow horizontally instead of vertically or not emerge from the gums at all. When this happens, it can cause many different issues, including sinus problems, infections, pain, teeth misalignment and more. Impacted wisdom teeth need to be removed to protect the oral health of the patient.
Wisdom teeth removal can be stress free when you come to Horizon Dental Care for your procedure. We have experienced, caring dental professionals that will walk you through every step of the process so you know what to expect. We have sedation options, and if all four wisdom teeth are being removed, most patients prefer to be sedated. We offer oral conscious and IV sedation for invasive procedures like wisdom teeth removal or oral surgery.
