Wow, great experience having my wisdom teeth removed which I never thought I’d ever say. Clinic was very organized, all the staff I dealt with was very friendly and helpful, and the extraction and aftercare was excellent. I’d get my teeth removed there again if I could! Very happy!
Wisdom Teeth Removal at Sunridge Oral Surgery
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually show up in your late teens or early 20s. While some people have no issues, many don’t have enough space in their jaws to accommodate these late arrivals—leading to crowding, pain, and infection. That’s where we come in.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Your oral surgeon may recommend removing your wisdom teeth if they:
- Stay trapped under the gums or bone (impacted)
- Partially break through, allowing food and bacteria to get trapped (hello, infection!)
- Are pushing on other teeth and causing shifting or crowding
- Are developing cysts or damaging nearby bone
Even if they aren’t causing problems now, wisdom teeth can lead to bigger issues later. That’s why removal is often recommended as a preventative step—especially while you’re young and healing is easier.
What to Expect
Your journey starts with a consult, where we:
- Review your medical and dental history
- Examine your mouth
- Look at your x-rays or 3D scan
- Talk about your comfort level and anesthesia options
We’ll walk you through the procedure, recovery instructions, and what to expect after surgery. Ask us anything—your peace of mind matters.
Note: If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must attend your consultation.
