Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Why Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to appear in your mouth—usually making their debut in your late teens or early twenties. For some people, these teeth come in without any issues. But for many, there’s simply not enough room in the jaw to accommodate them adequately.

When this happens, wisdom teeth can become impacted (stuck under the gum or jawbone), grow in at odd angles, or crowd the neighboring teeth. These issues can lead to pain, swelling, infections, and even damage to surrounding teeth or bones. Wisdom teeth extractions in Midlothian and Cedar Hill before they cause serious problems is a proactive approach to protecting your overall oral health.

What to Expect During a Wisdom Teeth Extraction

We know the idea of surgery can be stressful, but our team is here to make it a positive and reassuring experience. At Clark Dental Group, we’ll walk you through every step of the process so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Your Consultation

The first step is a consultation at our office. During this visit, we’ll perform a thorough oral examination and take X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and the condition of the surrounding areas. This information helps us create a personalized treatment plan for your extraction. It’s also a great time for you to ask questions or share concerns—you’ll leave feeling informed and confident.

The Procedure

On the day of your procedure, we will do everything we can to make you feel at ease by ensuring you’re comfortable and pain-free, administering either local anesthesia to numb the area or a sedation option if you’re feeling anxious.

Once you’re comfortable, our dentist will carefully and skillfully remove the wisdom teeth. The entire process typically takes under an hour. You’ll be able to go home the same day with clear instructions on how to care for yourself during recovery.

A Smooth Recovery Process

After your wisdom teeth extraction, you can expect a little bit of downtime. It’s normal to experience minor swelling or soreness in the first few days following the procedure, but most people are back to their regular routines within a week. Sticking to our recommended aftercare instructions—such as eating soft foods, managing discomfort with medication as prescribed, and avoiding strenuous physical activity—can help ensure a quicker recovery. Our team is always just a phone call away if you have any questions during this time.
