Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Wisdom teeth often cause problems as they emerge, especially when there is not enough room for them to come in properly. Wisdom tooth extractions are a common preventative and corrective procedure designed to protect your oral health and prevent future complications. At Artistic Dentistry, wisdom tooth removal is approached with careful planning, modern techniques, and a strong emphasis on patient comfort. Wisdom teeth can become impacted, meaning they are trapped beneath the gum line or grow at an angle. This can lead to pain, swelling, infections, damage to neighboring teeth, and crowding that affects overall alignment. Even wisdom teeth that partially erupt can be difficult to clean, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. Removing these teeth early often helps avoid more serious problems later on. Patients from Creve Coeur, St. Louis, Maryland Heights, Ladue, Chesterfield, and Olivette choose wisdom tooth extractions to relieve discomfort and protect long-term oral health. Each case begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the position of the teeth and the best timing for removal. This allows treatment to be tailored to your specific needs and reduces the risk of complications. The extraction process is designed to be as smooth and efficient as possible. Modern ensuring techniques help minimize discomfort during the procedure, and careful post-treatment guidance supports faster healing. Removing wisdom teeth can improve comfort, reduce crowding, and help maintain a healthy, balanced smile.
