Common Wisdom Teeth Issues
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, common issues patients experience that generally indicate extraction is necessary include:
Impaction
When wisdom teeth cannot fully emerge through the gums due to insufficient space or incorrect positioning, they become impacted. This condition can lead to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
Partial Eruption
Sometimes wisdom teeth break through the gum line partially, creating difficult-to-clean spaces where bacteria thrive, leading to infection, decay, and gum irritation.
Crowding
Even when wisdom teeth emerge fully, they may create pressure that causes neighboring teeth to shift, potentially undoing previous orthodontic work and creating alignment problems that can lead to chronic discomfort.
Cysts and Tumors
In rare cases, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to cysts or tumors that damage surrounding bone and tissue if left untreated.
Our Comprehensive Approach
At Serenity Dental Spa, each appointment begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Pashmini uses state-of-the-art digital imaging to evaluate wisdom teeth position, development, and potential complications. This detailed visualization allows for precise planning and more predictable outcomes.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss:
- The current position and development stage of your wisdom teeth
- Any existing or potential problems they may cause
- Your treatment options with clear explanations of benefits and considerations
- What to expect throughout the treatment process
Your Treatment Options
Based on your specific situation, Dr. Pashmini may recommend either monitoring or extraction. For wisdom teeth that have emerged properly, are functional, and pose no threats to oral health, regular monitoring in the form of routine checkups may be sufficient.
However, when wisdom teeth threaten oral health, removal is often necessary. Dr. Pashmini performs extractions with precision and care, prioritizing your comfort throughout the procedure.
What to Expect for Your Wisdom Tooth Removal
If extraction is necessary, you can expect:
- Pre-procedure comfort. Our spa-like environment helps ease anxiety with soothing music and comfortable amenities that help patients feel at ease before their procedure.
- Proactive pain management. We offer various anesthesia options tailored to your needs and the complexity of your extraction, including sedation dentistry options.
- Expert surgical techniques. Dr. Pashmini’s extensive experience with wisdom teeth extraction means procedures are completed efficiently while maintaining the highest standard of care.
- Personalized aftercare. You’ll receive detailed instructions for home care, along with emergency contact information should you have questions or concerns after hours.
