The average adult mouth is designed to hold around 28 teeth comfortably, but most adults end up with 32. The additional four teeth are called wisdom teeth or third molars. When there isn’t enough room for them, the wisdom teeth become blocked or impacted by the other teeth around them. This can become extremely traumatizing. If the wisdom tooth partially erupts, food can get trapped in the tissue surrounding it, which can lead to bacterial growth and possibly serious infection.
By removing wisdom teeth when a patient is a young adult, Our doctors is able to prevent potential healing problems. When a person reaches the age of their mid-thirties, there are much higher risks involved in wisdom teeth removal. The best time to remove wisdom teeth is generally between the ages of fifteen to eighteen.
However, if you are an adult and need to remove your wisdom teeth, there’s no need to worry. Here at Dynamic Smile Design, we take extra care to make sure that our adult patients are comfortable and anxiety-free. After a consultation, we will recommend that you continue with your wisdom teeth until intervention is absolutely necessary. When it is necessary to remove your wisdom teeth, Our doctors will recommend a simple and pain-free surgery. Your health is our highest concern.
We see patients on a regular basis to remove wisdom teeth. This is a common procedure at Dynamic Smile Design. If you are interested in having a consultation, please give us a call at Our doctors or email us.
Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars that cannot fully erupt due to limited space or improper positioning within the jawbone.
Common symptoms include pain, swelling, infection, jaw stiffness, gum inflammation, or damage to neighboring teeth.
Yes, impacted wisdom teeth typically require minor surgical removal under anaesthesia to safely access and extract the tooth.
Most procedures take less than one hour depending on tooth position and number of extractions required.
Soft foods such as yogurt, soups, and mashed vegetables are recommended during initial healing to avoid irritation.
Applying cold compresses, following medication instructions, and resting help reduce swelling and discomfort during recovery.
Dry socket occurs when the protective blood clot dislodges prematurely, exposing bone and causing significant discomfort.
Most patients return to light activities within two to three days, depending on healing progress.
Some cases require dissolvable sutures to support healing and protect the surgical site.
