At Calm Dental Studio, we understand that the thought of having wisdom teeth removed can be intimidating. Our primary goal is to ensure your comfort and long-term oral health by providing a gentle and stress-free experience. Serving Delaware, Lewis Center, Powell, and Marion, OH, Dr. Alla and our compassionate team specialize in expert wisdom teeth extraction, helping you prevent future pain, infection, and dental problems with a calm and professional approach.
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically emerge in the back of the mouth between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people's wisdom teeth erupt without any issues, for many, there isn't enough room in the jaw for them to grow in properly. This can lead to a variety of dental problems that are best addressed with a timely extraction.
When wisdom teeth do not have enough space to grow in properly, they can cause significant problems for your oral health. Dr. Alla may recommend a wisdom teeth extraction to:
As they try to erupt, impacted wisdom teeth can cause persistent pain, swelling, and tenderness in the jaw.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create a pocket where bacteria and food debris can become trapped, leading to a painful infection called pericoronitis.
When a wisdom tooth is impacted, it means it is stuck beneath the gum line or growing at an improper angle, which can cause cysts, tumors, and damage to the jawbone.
An impacted wisdom tooth can put pressure on the second molars, potentially leading to decay, damage, and misalignment.
In some cases, wisdom teeth can cause your other teeth to shift, leading to crowding and orthodontic issues.
Your comfort is our top priority throughout the entire process. Here’s what you can expect during your wisdom teeth removal procedure:
Dr. Alla will perform a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to assess the position and health of your wisdom teeth and create a personalized treatment plan.
Before the procedure begins, we will use a local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring you are completely comfortable and feel no pain.
Using a gentle technique and specialized instruments, Dr. Alla will carefully and efficiently remove the wisdom teeth.
After the teeth are extracted, we may place a few dissolvable sutures to help the gums heal properly. We will also place gauze pads to help control bleeding.
Before you leave, our team will provide you with clear, detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Have questions about removing your wisdom teeth and ensuring a smooth recovery? Here are some common inquiries we receive at Calm Dental Studio:
Wisdom teeth are often recommended for removal in the late teens or early twenties, even if they aren't causing problems, as this can prevent future issues. However, they can be removed at any age if they are causing pain or damage.
With the use of a local anesthetic, the extraction itself is not painful. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but no discomfort. Post-procedure soreness is normal and can be managed effectively with medication.
Most patients feel a significant improvement in discomfort within 3-4 days. Full healing of the gum tissue typically takes a few weeks. It's important to follow all aftercare instructions to ensure a speedy recovery.
A dry socket is a painful condition that can occur if the blood clot in the tooth socket is dislodged before the area has a chance to heal. Following our aftercare instructions, especially avoiding straws and smoking, is the best way to prevent this from happening.
You should stick to soft foods for the first few days and avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods. Gradually reintroduce more solid foods as you feel comfortable and the extraction sites heal.
The cost can vary depending on the number of teeth being removed and their complexity (e.g., if they are impacted). Our team will provide a transparent cost estimate during your consultation, and we can help you understand your insurance benefits.
Following these instructions carefully is essential for a smooth and speedy recovery:
