Wisdom Tooth Extraction

A surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth — the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.

If a wisdom tooth doesn’t have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you’ll likely need to have it removed.  Sometimes a wisdom tooth needs to be removed when it is likely to cause future oral health issues.
