Wisdom Teeth Removal and Oral Surgery in Riverpark

At Clove Dental, we understand that oral surgery, especially wisdom teeth removal, can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re committed to providing a seamless, compassionate experience tailored to your needs. Our expert team in Riverpark ensures that you receive the highest level of care for all your oral surgery requirements, restoring your smile and comfort.

What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to develop in the back corners of your mouth, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, wisdom teeth often become impacted, meaning they don’t have enough room to emerge or grow correctly. This can lead to pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.

Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery designed to address these concerns. At Clove Dental, we utilize the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques to make the procedure as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Signs You Might Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

It’s not always obvious when wisdom teeth are causing problems. Here are some common signs that indicate you might need oral surgery:
  • Persistent Pain: Discomfort at the back of your mouth, near your molars, that doesn’t go away.
  • Swelling or Redness: Inflammation around the gums at the back of your jaw.
  • Crowding: Wisdom teeth pushing against neighboring teeth, affecting alignment.
  • Infections: Repeated gum infections or cyst formation in the area.
  • Difficulty Chewing: Pain when biting or chewing near the wisdom teeth.
  • Bad Breath or Unpleasant Taste: Caused by trapped food particles or infection.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult our Riverpark team to prevent further complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
The procedure itself is pain-free thanks to anesthesia. You may experience mild discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with prescribed medication and proper care.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within 3-7 days, though complete healing may take a few weeks. Following aftercare instructions is key to a smooth recovery.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not necessarily. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, and properly aligned, removal may not be required. Our team will evaluate your specific situation to determine the best course of action.
Can I eat after the surgery?
It’s best to stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soups for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that might irritate the surgical site.
What happens if I don’t remove my wisdom teeth?

Untreated wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infections, damage to nearby teeth, and other complications. Timely removal helps prevent these issues.
