Wisdom Teeth Extraction
What to Expect During Wisdom
Teeth Extraction
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation and imaging to evaluate the exact position of your wisdom teeth.
If extraction is recommended, our dentists:
- Administer local anesthesia (or sedation options if needed) for comfort
- Gently remove the wisdom tooth or teeth
- Clean the area thoroughly
- Provide complete aftercare instructions to support smooth healing
Most patients recover within a few days, and our team is always available to answer questions during the healing process.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. Wisdom teeth may need removal if they’re impacted, painful, misaligned, or damaging nearby teeth. Your dentist will recommend extraction based on your X-rays and symptoms.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure itself is not painful as local anesthesia or sedation is used. Mild discomfort or swelling afterward is normal and can be managed with pain relievers and post-op care.
How long is recovery?
Most patients recover in 3–5 days, with complete healing in about 1–2 weeks. Following post-op instructions helps speed up recovery and reduce discomfort.
What are signs I might need extraction?
Common signs include jaw pain, swelling, bad breath, difficulty opening your mouth, or infections near the back of your mouth. X-rays may show impaction or damage to nearby teeth.
Will I need someone to drive me home?
Yes, if sedation or general anesthesia is used, you’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for a few hours post-procedure.
Is wisdom tooth removal covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of wisdom tooth extraction, especially if it’s medically necessary. Check with your provider for specific coverage details.
