Wisdom teeth removal
When wisdom teeth cause problems — or look likely to — our dentists can evaluate and remove them here in Peoria.
Wisdom teeth can stay quiet for years — or they can cause pain, swelling, or pressure on neighboring teeth. If yours need attention, we provide wisdom teeth removal as part of oral surgery services at our Peoria office.
When removal is often discussed
- Pain or tenderness near the back of the mouth
- Swelling or repeated gum infections around a wisdom tooth
- Crowding or damage to nearby teeth
- Teeth that are stuck (impacted) and unlikely to erupt cleanly
Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. We look at your X-rays, your symptoms, and your overall plan before recommending anything.
What a visit typically involves
We start with an exam and imaging. Then we explain what we see, what we recommend, and what recovery may look like for your situation. You decide how to move forward.
We have 3D (CBCT) imaging in our office to help plan wisdom teeth removal when it’s needed.
If you’d like sedation, iV sedation is provided by an outside sedation specialist who comes to our office.
Aftercare
We go over aftercare before you leave and give you written after-care instructions.
