What to expect
Evaluation
We examine the area, take X-rays and explain your options and what to expect.

The procedure is done in our office with local anesthesia so you stay comfortable.
Recovery
You go home with clear aftercare instructions, and we check your healing at a follow-up visit.
Common questions
Do wisdom teeth always need to come out?
No. Wisdom teeth that are healthy and in the right position may not need removal. We recommend removal when they cause pain, infection or crowding.
How long is recovery after an extraction?
Most people feel better within a few days. Following your aftercare instructions helps you heal comfortably.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
Most procedures are done with local anesthesia, so the area is numb while you stay awake. Ask your dentist about comfort options for your visit.
