Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Westchase Premier Dental provides wisdom tooth extraction for patients in the West Tampa and surrounding Tampa Bay areas. Wisdom tooth extraction is commonly necessary for an impacted wisdom tooth or a tooth that doesn’t have enough room to grow in properly. They often have to be removed to prevent crowding, painful infections or other dental problems. Wisdom teeth are the top and bottom third molars that typically begin to erupt between the ages 17 and 25, bringing the total number of permanent teeth to 32.

Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Extraction:

    • Creates Space for Other Molar Teeth
    • Prevents Bacteria and Infection
    • Prevents or Corrects Jaw, Nerve, or Adjacent Tooth Damage
    • Prevents or Corrects Periodontal Disease
    • Jaw or Tooth Alignment Correction
    • Improves Overall Oral Health

Wisdom tooth extraction procedures are performed by either a dentist or an oral surgeon. Wisdom teeth that are not impacted may be removed to avoid any future complications. If your wisdom teeth are erupted or partially erupted, they can be removed as easily as any other tooth.Wisdom teeth that are underneath the gums and embedded in the jawbone require more extensive treatment, usually under IV anesthesia. An oral surgeon or qualified dentist will perform surgery. Once the patient is sedated, the bone and tissue around the wisdom tooth are removed so the tooth can be clearing and effectively extracted. Lastly, the gums are sutured together with stitches for a quicker recovery time and less bleeding.

If you have any questions about wisdom tooth extraction procedures or due for an exam and cleaning, call us at (813) 475 – 4528. We have extended our hours to our patients with appointments available Monday through Friday 7 am to 7 pm. We are dedicated to providing quality dental service, so please contact us today to schedule your next appointment.
