Wisdom Teeth

Expert Care for a Healthy, Pain-Free Smile

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, usually appearing in the late teens or early twenties. While some people never experience issues, for many, these teeth can become “impacted” or grow at uncomfortable angles. At Lakota Premier Dental, we provide expert wisdom teeth extractions designed to prevent crowding, infections, and long-term dental complications.

Our team utilizes advanced digital imaging to monitor the development of your wisdom teeth and determine the best time for removal. With a focus on patient comfort and precise surgical techniques, we ensure your recovery is as smooth and quick as possible.

Why Wisdom Teeth Removal is Recommended

Leaving problematic wisdom teeth untreated can lead to various oral health issues. We recommend extraction to address

Impacted Teeth

Preventing teeth that are trapped under the gums from causing pain or damaging nearby roots.

Preventing Crowding

Ensuring your existing teeth—and any previous orthodontic work—stay perfectly aligned.

Reducing Infection Risk

Eliminating hard-to-reach areas where bacteria often build up, leading to gum disease or decay.

Cyst Prevention

Protecting the jawbone and nerves from fluid-filled sacs that can form around impacted molars.

Alleviating Discomfort

Ending the pressure and jaw pain often associated with erupting third molars and improving jaw mobility.

Wisdom Teeth FAQ
At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?

While it varies, the ideal time is often during the mid-to-late teens. At this stage, the roots are not fully formed and the bone is less dense, which typically leads to a faster and easier recovery.

Does the procedure hurt?
Your comfort is our top priority. We use local anesthesia and offer local anesthesia and conscious sedation to ensure you feel no pain during the extraction. Most patients describe the sensation as simple pressure.
What is the recovery time?

Most patients return to their normal activities within 3 to 5 days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and tips on diet and rest to help you heal quickly and comfortably.

What can I eat after the surgery?

We recommend soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, and soups for the first few days. Avoiding straws and crunchy foods is crucial for a smooth healing process.
