Wisdom teeth removal is a common surgery that is very safe and has an extremely high success rate. This procedure is considered a major surgery as you will be given anesthetics or sedation. The seriousness of your wisdom teeth removal depends on what type of surgery you need. There are four types of wisdom teeth removal including soft tissue impact removal, nonimpacted wisdom teeth removal, partial bony impact removal, and complete bony impact removal.

Wisdom teeth removal costs can range anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 for all four teeth. During your consultation appointment, your dentist will discuss the costs of your personal situation. Daniel Dental Studio has many different accommodating financing options to ensure you get the dental care you need. Whether you need to pay out of pocket, are looking for a budget-friendly low-interest plan, or have an insurance policy, our team can help.

Your general dentist has the qualifications and training required for wisdom teeth removal. In more complex cases, you may be referred to an oral surgeon. You can expect your procedure to be done at a dentist or oral surgeon’s office.

Most patients don’t experience pain during or after their wisdom tooth removal. To minimize any discomfort your dentist will use an anesthetic and prescribe you with painkillers. After your surgery, it will take a few weeks for full healing. Within the first three days, any swelling, pain, or discomfort will go away.

You should visit a wisdom tooth dentist specialist around the ages of 17 to 25. This is typically the time when they begin to come in and can be removed if they cause pain. The most common reasons people choose to get their wisdom teeth removed include:

1. Impacted: Wisdom teeth that don’t come in normally can get trapped between your gums and jawbone causing moderate to severe pain.
2. Gum Disease/Cavities: If your wisdom teeth have cavities or you’re developing periodontal disease, getting your wisdom teeth removed can prevent further infection. Because your wisdom teeth come in at the very back of your mouth, they can be difficult to reach with your toothbrush.
3. Small Mouth: Some people who have small mouths don’t have room for their wisdom teeth to come in. If your x-rays show that your jaw has no room for an extra set of molars, your dentist may want to remove them early on.
4. Wrong Angles: When your wisdom teeth come in at a wrong angle, this can cause them to press against your other teeth. In the case they’ve come in at a bad angle, schedule an appointment with your dentist right away.
