Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Elite Dental Group - 129 High St Taunton, MA 02780
Wisdom teeth are molars located in the back of your mouth. For most patients, they begin to erupt in their late teens or early 20s. Sometimes, these teeth become impacted, which means there isn’t enough room for them to erupt.
About Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to gum swelling, significant discomfort, and infection, which is why timely removal is often recommended. At Elite Dental Group, wisdom teeth extractions are performed with precision and a strong focus on patient comfort and safety.
Before treatment, a thorough consultation is conducted to determine the most appropriate sedation option based on your individual needs and comfort level. Every procedure is carefully planned and customized, allowing you to feel confident and at ease throughout the process.
Because impacted wisdom teeth are difficult to clean, they can increase the risk of tooth decay, recurrent infections, and gum disease. If removal is recommended, scheduling treatment promptly can help prevent future complications and protect your long-term oral health.

How Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?
The area around the tooth is first numbed using a local anesthetic. If you feel anxious, sedation options may be used to help you remain relaxed and comfortable. When a wisdom tooth is impacted beneath the gums or jawbone, a small amount of bone may need to be removed to access it. In many cases, the tooth is sectioned into smaller pieces so it can be removed through a minimal opening, reducing trauma and supporting smoother healing.
How Long Does It Take to Heal After Surgery?
Healing time depends on the complexity of the extraction. You will receive clear post procedure instructions to promote faster, more comfortable healing and reduce the risk of complications. Our team will remain available to support you throughout your recovery.
