Serving the Kirkland, WA community, our experienced team offers safe, effective, and comfortable wisdom teeth removal services, ensuring your well-being and a healthy smile.What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars that typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. While they can provide additional chewing surfaces, many people experience complications as these teeth grow in, often requiring extraction to prevent oral health issues.Why You Might Need Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, but extraction may be necessary if you experience:- Impaction: When wisdom teeth fail to fully emerge from the gums, causing pain, swelling, or infection.
- Overcrowding: Wisdom teeth can push against other teeth, leading to misalignment and bite issues.
- Infection or Decay: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Cysts or Tumors: Rarely, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to cyst formation, damaging the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
What To Expect
During Your Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Our skilled Kirkland dentists will evaluate your oral health through examinations and advanced imaging technologies like Cone Beam CT scans. This assessment helps us determine the position of your wisdom teeth and the best extraction approach.
The Extraction Procedure
On the day of your extraction, we prioritize your comfort by offering sedation options, including nitrous oxide and conscious oral sedation. The procedure may be simple (for teeth that have fully erupted) or surgical (for impacted teeth). Using precise surgical techniques, we carefully remove the wisdom teeth, minimizing discomfort and promoting quick healing.
Recovery & Aftercare
Post-extraction, we’ll provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This includes managing swelling, pain relief, and maintaining oral hygiene. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns.
