A panoramic X-ray shows exactly how your third molars are positioned before we recommend anything. Smile Center Dentistry assesses impaction type before recommending removal.
Not every wisdom tooth needs removal — we assess each one individually rather than pulling all four by default. We'd rather assess honestly than recommend a standard four-tooth removal regardless of your actual case.
A full panoramic X-ray shows root position, nerve proximity, and impaction type before we recommend removal. This single image gives us a complete picture of all four wisdom teeth at once.
From local anesthesia to oral or IV sedation, we discuss what fits your anxiety level and case complexity. Simple soft-tissue cases often don't need more than local anesthesia.
A soft-tissue impaction is a very different procedure than a full bony impaction, and we explain the difference. This assessment shapes both the procedure plan and what recovery will realistically look like.
We give written aftercare covering diet, swelling, and warning signs to watch for. We'd rather set an accurate expectation than have you surprised by how you feel on day two.
We explain your specific case classification before recommending a removal plan.
A single panoramic image shows all four wisdom teeth, root position, and proximity to nerves. We review the image with you directly, pointing out what we're seeing.
These cases typically involve shorter procedure and recovery times than bony impactions. We explain why your case falls into this category if it does.
When a tooth is angled or fully encased in bone, removal requires a more involved surgical approach. Recovery expectations are set honestly for these more involved cases.
Local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation are all discussed based on your anxiety level and case complexity. Pre-procedure instructions for sedation are given clearly in advance.
Written aftercare covers swelling management, diet restrictions, and signs of dry socket to watch for. We're reachable directly if recovery doesn't feel right.
We check monitored teeth at your regular recall visits rather than leaving them untracked. If circumstances change, we revisit the removal conversation honestly.

You'll see your own X-ray and understand exactly what we're recommending and why.
Based on impaction complexity and your comfort preference, we proceed with the appropriate sedation level.
We're reachable directly during recovery if swelling or pain seems unusual.
"Panoramic X-ray showed exactly why one tooth was impacted. Made the decision to remove it an easy one."
"Full bony impaction on one side, and they were upfront it would take longer than the others. Recovery matched what they told me."
"Follow-up call to check on healing a few days after — didn't expect that level of follow-through."
"Soft-tissue impaction turned out to be a quicker procedure than I braced myself for."
"They checked nerve proximity on the X-ray before recommending removal on my lower molar. Made me feel like they were actually being careful."
Not necessarily — we assess each tooth individually and only recommend removing the ones actually causing or likely to cause problems. We'll show you the panoramic X-ray and explain our reasoning for each tooth.
Local anesthesia, oral sedation, and IV sedation are all options, chosen based on impaction complexity and your comfort level. We'll recommend a specific option based on your case, not upsell the most expensive one.
Soft-tissue impactions typically recover within a few days; full bony impactions can take a week or more. We schedule a follow-up to confirm healing is on track for your specific case.
Late teens to early twenties is common, since roots aren't fully formed yet, but we evaluate based on your X-ray, not just age. Earlier evaluation sometimes means an easier procedure, since roots are less developed.
We prioritize scheduling for patients reporting active pain or swelling. Don't wait for severe pain — earlier evaluation usually means easier treatment.
We break down cost per tooth so you understand what's driving the total. We verify insurance benefits before treatment so you know your out-of-pocket cost.
