Careful Evaluation. Comfortable Treatment. Clear Communication.
When wisdom teeth begin causing swelling or pressure, waiting weeks for answers can be stressful. Our team works to schedule evaluations promptly so patients can receive care without unnecessary delays.
Many patients prefer to relax through the procedure while our team carefully monitors them throughout treatment.
CBCT imaging allows us to clearly evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and surrounding structures before treatment.
Your evaluation, procedure, and follow-up care are handled by the same experienced team.
You’ll receive a clear explanation of the procedure, recovery expectations, and cost before treatment begins.
We focus on calm, personalized care rather than high-volume treatment.
Your visit begins with a full evaluation using advanced 3D CBCT imaging to clearly view the position of your wisdom teeth and surrounding structures.
We’ll review your X-rays, discuss symptoms and concerns, and determine if removal is necessary. You’ll also receive detailed pre-procedure instructions covering fasting, medications, and transportation to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Wisdom tooth removal is performed using modern techniques designed to prioritize comfort and safety.
Many patients who come to us are relieved by how efficient and straightforward the process feels.
After your procedure, we provide detailed instructions to help manage swelling and support proper healing.

Our goal is simple: clear communication, comfortable care, and a smooth recovery.
Wisdom teeth (also called third molars) typically develop during the late teenage years or early twenties. Many people simply do not have enough space in the jaw for these teeth to erupt properly.
When wisdom teeth become impacted, partially erupted, or difficult to clean, they can lead to pain, infections, crowding, or damage to nearby teeth. In these situations, removal is often the best long-term solution.
Most procedures take 45–60 minutes, depending on the number of teeth and complexity. If IV sedation is used, patients typically spend additional time recovering before heading home. Many patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable the process feels.
Common signs include:
If you notice these symptoms, a professional evaluation can determine whether removal is recommended.
Not always. Some wisdom teeth grow in normally and remain healthy throughout life.
During your evaluation, we examine their position, surrounding bone, and gum health. If the teeth are functioning normally and not causing problems, removal may not be necessary.
Many patients choose Cherry Financing or other personal financing options to make treatment more manageable through monthly payments.
Dental insurance will often cover at least a portion of wisdom tooth removal, depending on your individual plan and the complexity of the procedure. Our team can review your benefits and help estimate any coverage before treatment.
Some patients also use personal savings, healthcare credit cards, or financing through their bank or credit union. We will walk through the available options with you so you can choose what works best for your situation.
With local anesthesia and IV sedation, most patients experience very little discomfort during the procedure. Afterward, mild soreness and swelling are normal for a few days. We provide clear instructions to help you manage recovery comfortably.
Not necessarily. Each wisdom tooth is evaluated individually. Some patients only need one or two removed, while others may benefit from removing all four at the same time to prevent future problems.
Your treatment plan will be based on your specific situation.
Most patients take one to two days off from work or school, especially if sedation is used.
Swelling and soreness usually improve significantly within about a week, although full healing of the area takes a little longer.
Light activity can usually resume within a day or two. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for several days to allow proper healing.
We will provide personalized recovery instructions based on your procedure.
