A panoramic X-ray shows exactly how your third molars are positioned before we recommend anything. Smile Center Dentistry assesses impaction type before recommending removal.
Not every wisdom tooth needs removal — we assess each one individually rather than pulling all four by default. A fully erupted, functional wisdom tooth causing no problems can often just be monitored.
We don't rely on a single small X-ray for a decision this significant. Nerve proximity especially matters for lower wisdom teeth, and imaging confirms it clearly.
From local anesthesia to oral or IV sedation, we discuss what fits your anxiety level and case complexity. We'll tell you honestly if your case would benefit from a higher sedation level.
We classify each wisdom tooth's impaction type, since that determines procedure complexity and recovery time. This assessment shapes both the procedure plan and what recovery will realistically look like.
We give written aftercare covering diet, swelling, and warning signs to watch for. Recovery timelines differ meaningfully between impaction types, and we tell you which applies to you.
We explain your specific case classification before recommending a removal plan.
A single panoramic image shows all four wisdom teeth, root position, and proximity to nerves. We review the image with you directly, pointing out what we're seeing.
When a tooth has erupted but gum tissue partially covers it, removal is usually more straightforward. We explain why your case falls into this category if it does.
When a tooth is angled or fully encased in bone, removal requires a more involved surgical approach. Recovery expectations are set honestly for these more involved cases.
Local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation are all discussed based on your anxiety level and case complexity. Pre-procedure instructions for sedation are given clearly in advance.
Written aftercare covers swelling management, diet restrictions, and signs of dry socket to watch for. We're reachable directly if recovery doesn't feel right.
We check monitored teeth at your regular recall visits rather than leaving them untracked. If circumstances change, we revisit the removal conversation honestly.

We image all four wisdom teeth and classify impaction type for each one individually.
Simple cases may take under an hour; complex bony impactions take longer.
Written aftercare and a follow-up check ensure healing stays on track.
"Panoramic X-ray showed exactly why one tooth was impacted. Made the decision to remove it an easy one."
"Went with oral sedation since I'm anxious about dental work. They walked me through what to expect beforehand."
"Swelling peaked around day two exactly like they said it would. No surprises during recovery."
"They classified each tooth individually instead of treating it as one generic 'wisdom teeth out' procedure."
"They checked nerve proximity on the X-ray before recommending removal on my lower molar. Made me feel like they were actually being careful."
Some patients keep one or two wisdom teeth that are fully erupted and functional with no issues. Monitored teeth are checked at future visits rather than being ignored entirely.
Local anesthesia, oral sedation, and IV sedation are all options, chosen based on impaction complexity and your comfort level. We'll recommend a specific option based on your case, not upsell the most expensive one.
We give a realistic timeline specific to your impaction type, not a generic estimate. We schedule a follow-up to confirm healing is on track for your specific case.
Some patients need evaluation later if problems develop, regardless of age. Earlier evaluation sometimes means an easier procedure, since roots are less developed.
Pain, swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or crowding of nearby teeth are all signs worth getting imaged soon. Bad breath or a persistent bad taste near the back of your mouth can also signal a problem.
Cost depends on impaction type and how many teeth are involved — we quote this after your panoramic X-ray. We verify insurance benefits before treatment so you know your out-of-pocket cost.
