What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Most adults develop a third set of molars found at the back of the mouth. These third molars are called wisdom teeth since they appear long after other permanent teeth have erupted, usually when the individual is in their early adulthood.

A wisdom tooth extraction is the removal of some or all of these unnecessary third molars. Extractions are only done when less invasive dental treatments are infective or if keeping the tooth compromises your oral health. If you have issues with your wisdom teeth, contact our practice for simple, partial, or impacted extraction services.

Why Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

Many problems may arise if you do not have adequate room in your mouth for the third molars to erupt. Impacted wisdom teeth must be removed before their root structure becomes fully developed. Some of the reasons that can necessitate wisdom teeth extractions in Lyons include:

• Treating Gum Pain: Without adequate room for total wisdom tooth eruption, the gum tissue around the tooth will become irritated and infected, causing swelling, recurrent pain, and problems chewing and swallowing. If you have an infection, our dentists may recommend wisdom teeth extractions.
• Eliminate Overcrowded Teeth: If you are considering orthodontic treatment like Invisalign or braces, extraction of one or more teeth may be necessary to create space for proper bite alignment. By removing crowded teeth, our dentists leave enough room for your teeth to move. In addition, the probability of a successful orthodontic treatment is increased significantly.
• Remove Impacted Wisdom Teeth: In some cases, the adult teeth may fail to fully emerge above the gum line, resulting in an impacted tooth. A tooth may fail to correctly erupt if it grows at an angle that faces another tooth. Impacted teeth may cause discomfort and affect adjacent teeth from under the gumline. When our dentists remove impacted wisdom teeth, they prevent long-term damage to surrounding teeth and protect your smile's alignment. During your routine visits, our dentists will constantly assess the room in your jaws to determine whether the teeth are coming in correctly. If there is no space for your wisdom teeth, an extraction will protect you from infection, pain, and other oral health problems.

The Process for Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Lyons

Once our dentists have determined a wisdom tooth extraction is necessary, we will typically complete this dental procedure within 1-2 visits. To prepare for the procedure, our dentists will utilize x-rays and other imaging technology to evaluate the wisdom tooth and devise a plan to ensure successful extraction.

At the beginning of the process for extractions in Lyons, the dentist will numb the area and offer you nitrous oxide sedation as needed. Our dentist will remove the selected wisdom tooth or teeth and place gauze to protect the affected tissue as they heal. We will monitor your progress after treatment to see that there are no complications. We'll also perform dry socket treatment should the need arise.
