Wisdom teeth removal is something that we all deal with, or most of us deal with as time goes, whether it be decayed teeth or crowding. We are set up to take a look at that. We can look at where the teeth are embedded in the bone, etc. We want to keep patients comfortable, so we’re able to numb the patient well, get the extractions taken care of if that’s what they need, and keep them out of pain and get the treatment that they need taken care of.
Wisdom teeth (or “third molars” as they are sometimes called) usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 25. If these four teeth come through normally, are functional, and aren’t diseased, then removal usually isn’t necessary. About nine out of 10 people, however, have at least one impacted wisdom tooth, meaning the tooth never fully erupts through the gums.
Impacted wisdom teeth can damage your healthy teeth and gums. They can also develop cavities and disease. To protect your oral health, they need to be removed as soon as possible. Regular checkups and digital X-rays will help us catch wisdom teeth problems before they have the chance to seriously damage your smile.
If you do have wisdom teeth that need removal, you can count on the skilled team at Johnson Dentistry to provide you excellent care. We’ll do all we can to keep you comfortable during your procedure, from numbing your mouth to offering you a warm blanket or soft pillow to help you relax.
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact us so we can determine whether they’re related to your third molars.

Dr. Johnson was recommended by a friend. His cosmetic treatment has made such a huge change. I’m not scared to go and speak in public anymore. I’m not constantly covering my mouth. I’m willing to give a smile, and I get compliments all the time on it.”
Very professional and the people are always nice and patient. Extremely convenient location and staff are always on time. Excellent work on my crowns.
I’ve enjoyed going to Dr. Johnson and his staff. All are very kind and helpful. Dr. Johnson takes a lot of care to make sure I am comfortable and aware of everything that is going on. It is a very friendly and comfortable environment.
Wisdom teeth usually come in between the ages of 17 and 25. If there is sufficient room for them to emerge in the proper place and position, then they may not need removal. However, if they come in improperly and put your other teeth at risk, they will need to be removed to protect your overall oral health.
We recommend removing wisdom teeth before the age of 25 if possible. Before then, your tooth roots and bones are more flexible, which means a faster recovery. We use digital X-rays to reveal problems like impacted wisdom teeth and teeth that are coming in sideways. If we see such complications, it’s best to remove the wisdom teeth ASAP.
There shouldn’t be any pain during the tooth removal itself since we thoroughly numb your mouth with anesthesia and make sure you’re comfortable before we start. There may be some pressure during your treatment and some soreness and discomfort for several days following the surgery. We might offer pain medication, and we’ll give you instructions to help ensure a pleasant recovery.
While you should feel much better within a day or two, it can take up to two weeks to fully recover. During this time you may experience mild discomfort and swelling. You can speed your recovery by avoiding smoking and alcohol and eating soft foods for the first few days. Rinsing gently with warm salt water also helps lessen gum tenderness and inflammation.
