Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that emerge, usually during your late teens to early 20s. Notorious for not erupting when and as they should, wisdom teeth frequently become impacted or grow at an angle and harm neighboring molars or cause structural damage to the jaw. This area may also develop a cyst or infection that is harmful to your bone, gum tissue, and existing teeth. It’s important to watch for the signs of impacted wisdom teeth and receive an evaluation from an oral and maxillofacial surgeon if symptoms arise.
Oral surgeons are the experts in wisdom tooth extraction. Not only are they trained in performing surgical tooth extractions, but they’re also qualified to offer complex facial trauma treatments, jaw surgery, and facial reconstructions. As a result, they are the go-to specialists for wisdom teeth extractions from the simple, to the complex, and frequently perform them weekly, if not daily. If you or your teen is experiencing pain, swelling, or swollen gums around the molars, we encourage you to reserve an evaluation and wisdom tooth extraction in Lewisville, TX at Oral & Facial Surgery of North Texas with our experienced oral surgeon, Dr. Richard Martin.
Your treatment process begins with an evaluation and a CBCT scan of your mouth that assess the position of your wisdom teeth in your bone. Using this imaging, we precisely plan your treatment so on the day of surgery, treatment will be efficient and minimally invasive. We may also collaborate with a maxillofacial radiologist and other professionals for evaluation of complex cases to ensure your procedure goes smoothly. Before surgery begins, we’ll provide one or a combination of anesthesia services to ensure you’re relaxed and pain-free throughout your stay. Next, Dr. Martin will gently and conservatively remove your wisdom teeth while you’re comfortably under anesthesia—you won’t remember or feel a thing!
You’ll be able to return home the same day and typically only need over-the-counter medication to control any swelling or discomfort during your recovery. We’ll review post-operative instructions with you and encourage you to follow them closely for a shortened recovery time. If you have any questions as you heal, please reach out to our surgical team in Lewisville, TX to receive the answers you need. With specialized surgical and medical training, oral surgeons offer worry-free and confident care for any wisdom tooth extraction. Find out if it’s time for yours.
