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.
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
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.
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.
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.

This place is a lifesaver! They got me in on New Years Day when nobody else was open. I had a cracked tooth and was in a lot of pain and didn’t know what to do…they got me in that morning. Dr. Dawas and staff were extremely nice and friendly. He got me all fixed up quick and pain free. I would definitely recommend them!
