Houston’s Trusted Dentists for Wisdom Tooth Removal

How We Extract Unhealthy Wisdom Teeth

At Urgent Dental Care of Houston, we use advanced surgical techniques and modern equipment to precisely and efficiently remove problematic wisdom teeth. Our experienced dental team is committed to restoring your oral health while minimizing your recovery time.

Oral Exam and Preparation

An initial oral examination, including X-rays, is essential to determine the health and positioning of your wisdom teeth. Not every wisdom tooth needs to be extracted—if they are healthy and properly positioned, they may not pose a risk to your oral health.

If extraction is necessary, we ensure a pain-free procedure through local anesthesia and offer oral conscious sedation options for those who require additional relaxation and comfort during the treatment.

Types of Extractions

Basic Extraction: For wisdom teeth that have fully erupted, we perform basic extractions using specialized tools to gently remove the tooth. The site is then cleaned and sutured to promote healing.

Surgical Extraction: Impacted wisdom teeth that have not fully erupted require a surgical approach. We make an incision in the gums, section the tooth for easier removal, and then clean and suture the area to ensure proper healing.

Recovery and Aftercare

Sedation Options for a Comfortable Experience

Understanding that dental procedures can be anxiety-inducing, we offer several sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience:

  • Local Numbing: To alleviate pain and discomfort during the procedure.
  • Inhaled Sedation: Also known as laughing gas, this option is ideal for patients seeking additional comfort. It allows you to remain conscious and relaxed throughout the treatment.

Choosing Urgent Dental Care of Houston for your wisdom tooth removal means entrusting your care to experts dedicated to your comfort and well-being. Our team is equipped to handle even the most complex extractions, ensuring that your procedure is as painless and stress-free as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?

At Urgent Dental Care of Houston, we ensure your comfort during wisdom tooth extraction with effective sedation options. We use the latest techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure a quick recovery.

Why might I need a wisdom tooth extraction?

Wisdom teeth often cause pain, crowding, or infections. We recommend extraction to prevent further dental issues and maintain your oral health. Our skilled surgeons ensure a smooth and comfortable extraction process.

Are there risks associated with wisdom tooth removal?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including dry socket, damage to adjacent teeth, or nerve damage. However, these complications are rare, especially when the procedure is performed by experienced dental surgeons like those at Urgent Dental Care of Houston.

What can I expect during recovery?

Recovery from wisdom tooth removal varies but generally involves:

  • Taking prescribed pain relief and antibiotics as needed
  • Following a soft food diet and avoiding vigorous mouth rinsing or sucking actions to protect the clot in the extraction site
  • Using ice packs to reduce swelling
  • Practicing good oral hygiene to prevent infection

Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, with complete healing occurring within two weeks.

What does the procedure involve?

Wisdom tooth removal can be a straightforward extraction or a more involved surgical procedure, depending on whether the teeth are fully erupted or impacted. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available for patient comfort. The procedure may involve making an incision in the gum to access and remove the tooth, followed by cleaning and suturing the site.

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Common signs that may indicate the need for wisdom teeth removal include:

  • Pain or discomfort at the back of the mouth
  • Swelling around the jaw
  • Recurrent infections or gum disease around the teeth
  • Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing

An examination and X-rays at Urgent Dental Care of Houston can help determine if your wisdom teeth are causing problems and if removal is the best course of action.

Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Wisdom teeth removal is recommended when:

  • There is insufficient space in the jaw, leading to crowding or misalignment.
  • The teeth are impacted, meaning they cannot fully erupt through the gum line.
  • The partial eruption of wisdom teeth makes them prone to decay, gum disease, and infection due to difficulty in cleaning.
  • There is pain, swelling, or discomfort associated with the emergence of wisdom teeth.

What are wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop and emerge in the mouth, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While they were once necessary for our ancestors, modern diets and smaller jaw sizes have made these teeth often problematic.
