Wisdom Teeth
Expert assessment and care for the last teeth to arrive — whether they need monitoring or removal.
The Last Teeth to Arrive
Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to emerge into most peoples’ mouths. There are usually four — two on top and two on bottom.
In some people, there is not enough room at the back of their mouths for the third molar wisdom teeth to emerge and develop in a healthy fashion. That leads to an impacted condition that may require surgical removal or careful monitoring to ensure they do not cause problems for the rest of their teeth and their bite.
Our dentists are well-versed in assessing the challenges posed by wisdom teeth and the ideal approach to ensuring they serve the particular needs of your oral health.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — when yours are healthy and have room, careful monitoring protects your smile without surgery.
