Why Removing a Problem Wisdom Tooth Matters for Your Health
Wisdom teeth often don't have enough room to grow in the way they should. When they come in at an angle, stay trapped beneath the gumline, or crowd the teeth next to them, they can lead to real problems, including:
A problem wisdom tooth rarely fixes itself, and it tends to get more complicated to treat the longer it's left alone. Catching it early, before it causes pain or damage, is one of the simplest ways to protect the rest of your smile.
Signs It Might Be Time
Simple vs. Surgical Extractions
Not all wisdom teeth come out the same way. A simple extraction is used for a tooth that has already broken through the gums, while a surgical extraction is needed for a tooth that's impacted or still under the gumline. Dr. Patki will confirm which applies to your case at your consultation, and if your case calls for a specialist, we'll help point you in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?
Most people have their wisdom teeth removed in their late teens or early twenties, when the roots are less developed and recovery tends to be easier. That said, wisdom teeth can be evaluated and removed at any age if they start causing problems.
Do all wisdom teeth need to come out?
Not necessarily. Some wisdom teeth come in properly aligned and cause no issues at all. Others need to come out because of impaction, crowding, or a higher risk of infection. An exam and X-rays will tell us what's happening with yours.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
That depends on your case and your comfort level. Dr. Patki will talk through your anesthesia options with you and help you decide what makes sense before your appointment.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The extraction itself is performed with anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling afterward is normal and is usually manageable with the aftercare plan we give you.
What can I eat after my extraction?
Stick to soft foods for the first few days while the extraction site heals. We'll walk you through exactly what to eat and what to avoid during your recovery.
What happens if I leave a problem wisdom tooth untreated?
It can lead to infection, cysts, damage to nearby teeth, and shifting in your bite over time. Impacted teeth rarely resolve on their own, which is why an early evaluation is worth doing even before symptoms show up.
Will I need someone to drive me home?
If you receive sedation, yes. You'll need a trusted companion to drive you home and stay with you while it wears off completely.
Does insurance cover wisdom teeth removal?
Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking with your provider ahead of time. Our office works with all major dental carriers, and we also offer Cherry Financing to help make treatment more manageable.
How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to come out?
A consultation with digital X-rays is the best way to find out. Dr. Patki will look at your specific case and let you know whether removal is recommended and why.
