In most cases, removing teeth is the last treatment option.  However, wisdom teeth may need to be removed as a preventative measure.  In any case, your comfort is our top priority.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction
These teeth are the last molars in your mouth.  Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed.  However, in many cases, not enough space is present to allow these teeth to erupt properly. Improper eruption of these teeth may damage adjacent teeth and gums.  The best time to have wisdom teeth removed is during the teenage years while they are still developing. 

Tooth Extraction
The most common reason to extract teeth is due to advanced gum disease.  Teeth with severe decay may be best treated by being removed, and having a dental implant in its place.  All factors are considered in determining the best treatment for your individual needs.
