Wisdom Teeth Removal
Safe and
Comfortable Extractions
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to emerge—typically appearing in the late teens or early
twenties. However, for many people, these teeth can lead to crowding, discomfort, and infection. At Natural Teeth
Implant Center, we specialize in wisdom teeth removal, ensuring a safe, comfortable experience to prevent future
complications and maintain your long-term oral health.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal Is Often Necessary
Wisdom teeth don’t always have enough space to emerge properly, leading to impaction, misalignment, and infections. Removing them can protect your smile and prevent serious oral health issues.
Common Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal:
– Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are blocked from fully emerging can lead to pain, cysts, and damage to surrounding teeth.
– Overcrowding: As wisdom teeth push against neighboring teeth, they can disrupt alignment, undoing previous orthodontic treatments.
– Infection & Inflammation: Partially erupted wisdom teeth create areas where food and bacteria get trapped, leading to gum infections and discomfort.
– Preventive Care: Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing issues now, removal can prevent future complications, especially if they are at risk of impaction.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Prevents Misalignment: Removing wisdom teeth helps maintain a straight, properly aligned smile.
- Reduces Infection Risk: Eliminates hidden spaces where bacteria can accumulate, preventing gum disease and cavities.
- Relieves Pain & Discomfort: Extracting impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth prevents pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness.
- Protects Oral Health: Wisdom teeth removal helps prevent cysts, nerve damage, and bone loss in the jaw.

How many wisdom teeth can be removed at once?
We often recommend removing all four wisdom teeth at once if they’re causing issues. This minimizes the need for multiple procedures and recovery periods

What should I eat after wisdom teeth removal?
We recommend soft foods, such as yogurt, applesauce, and smoothies, for the first few days after the procedure. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that may irritate the extraction site.
