Wisdom teeth typically erupt in the late teens or early twenties, and while some people experience no issues, others may need to have them removed due to pain, crowding or risk of infection. At Euro Dental Studio, our oral surgeon and team offer gentle and professional wisdom teeth removal in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, using modern techniques to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Our team understands that wisdom teeth extraction can seem intimidating, especially for younger patients. That is why we focus on education, comfort and expert care throughout the entire process.
When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Needed?
Wisdom teeth do not always erupt properly. In some cases, they may grow at an angle, only partially emerge or become impacted beneath the gumline. These issues can lead to a number of oral health concerns, including:
- Crowding of surrounding teeth
- Swelling, pain or tenderness
- Infection of gum tissue
- Cysts or tooth damage
- Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening the mouth
Our oral surgeon and team evaluate the development and position of your wisdom teeth using advanced imaging. If extraction is recommended, we will explain the procedure clearly and answer any questions you may have.
What To Expect During the Procedure
Wisdom teeth removal is a routine outpatient procedure performed with your comfort in mind. Depending on your situation, our oral surgeon may recommend local anesthesia or additional sedation options. The procedure typically involves the careful removal of one or more teeth, followed by instructions for a smooth recovery at home.
Most patients experience only minor swelling or tenderness for a few days after the procedure. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions, including tips for managing discomfort, foods to avoid and how to keep the area clean.
Having your wisdom teeth removed at the right time can help prevent more serious complications in the future. Our oral surgeon and team are experienced in performing safe, efficient extractions and will ensure you receive attentive care every step of the way.
