Wisdom teeth Removal

Welcome to Everett Smiles Family & Implant Dentistry, where we offer expert wisdom teeth removal services. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. In some cases, they may cause problems that require extraction. Our team of experienced dental professionals in Everett is here to guide you through the process of wisdom teeth removal and ensure that you receive the best possible care.

Why are wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are often removed because they can cause a variety of problems, including:

Crowding and misalignment of surrounding teeth
Infections or inflammation around the wisdom teeth
Tooth decay or gum disease
Cysts or tumors that form around the wisdom teeth
How is wisdom teeth removal performed?

The wisdom teeth removal process varies depending on the individual case, but typically involves the following steps:

Evaluation: Our dental team will perform a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, to determine the best approach for removing your wisdom teeth.

Anesthesia: We will administer local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.

Extraction: Our team will carefully remove the wisdom teeth, taking care to minimize discomfort and ensure a speedy recovery.

Aftercare: We will provide detailed instructions for aftercare, including pain management, diet recommendations, and oral hygiene instructions.

What can I expect during recovery?

Recovery from wisdom teeth removal typically takes several days to a week. During this time, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bleeding. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and can prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort. We will also schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your recovery and ensure that everything is healing properly.
