/ Services / Wisdom Teeth Removal
It’s hard to know when wisdom teeth will emerge but knowing when it’s time to have them removed can make all the difference. These teeth often arrive in your late teens or early twenties, just when life starts to get busy. At Precision Oral Surgery, we help make this process simple and stress-free. Whether it’s your first surgery or your child’s, we’ll take great care of you.
We treat every patient like they’re family—because our team believes comfort matters just as much as expertise. If you’ve been told it’s time to get your wisdom teeth out, we’re here to guide you through the process with clarity and a steady hand.
Wisdom teeth are your third set of molars. Most people develop them between the ages of 17 and 25. While a few fortunate patients have no issues at all, these back teeth often become crowded, trapped under the gums (impacted), or grow in at an angle. When that happens, they can cause pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.
Removing wisdom teeth before these problems arise is often the safest and most comfortable approach—especially during young adulthood when healing is faster and easier.
Wisdom teeth don’t always cause symptoms right away, but they can lead to bigger issues if they’re not removed. Potential problems can include gum disease, tooth decay, jaw discomfort, and shifting of your other teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth may stay trapped under the surface, pushing into nearby roots and causing more serious complications.
It’s not just about removing a tooth—it’s about protecting your long-term oral health.
For most people, the best time is in their late teens or early 20s. At this stage, the roots haven’t fully developed and the bone is more flexible, making recovery smoother. Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing problems yet, we may recommend removal to prevent future issues from developing down the line.
You may need to have your wisdom teeth removed if you’re experiencing:
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s a good idea to schedule an evaluation.
Taking care of your wisdom teeth early often means fewer problems later. By acting before complications start, we can help you:
You’ll also have peace of mind knowing the future of your smile is protected.
We’ll begin with a consultation, including digital X-rays and a thorough exam. This helps us understand how your wisdom teeth are developing and whether removal is the right choice.
During the procedure, you’ll be kept comfortable with your preferred form of sedation or anesthesia. Then, your oral surgeon will gently remove the teeth. If needed, stitches may be placed to help with healing. Most procedures take under an hour.
We’ll walk you through every step before we begin so there are no surprises.
After your surgery, we’ll send you home with clear, written instructions to help you heal comfortably. You can expect some swelling and mild soreness for a few days—this is totally normal and part of the healing process.
Use cold compresses and follow our recommendations for medication and rest. Stick to soft foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt, or scrambled eggs. Avoid using straws, spitting forcefully, or anything that might disturb the healing site.
We’ll check in with you after surgery to make sure you’re healing well and feeling okay.
The cost depends on how many teeth need to be removed, how complex the extraction is, and which type of sedation is used. We’ll provide a full breakdown during your consultation and answer all your questions.
Most dental insurance plans offer coverage for wisdom tooth extraction, especially for younger patients. If you don’t have insurance, we’re happy to discuss payment plans or financing options to help make treatment more manageable.
We understand this is a big decision, especially for parents and young adults. That’s why we want to empower patients with great care—offering our years of expertise, advanced technology, and the support of our staff to make your experience as positive as possible. Our goal is simple: to keep you safe, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.
You’ll never feel like just another patient here. We’ll treat you with the care we’d want for our own families.
