Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal at Graphite Dental
When it comes to wisdom teeth removal, trust the expertise of Dr. Raivyn Conway and the dedicated team at Graphite Dental. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often require removal to prevent complications such as crowding, infections, or impaction. Our gentle approach ensures a comfortable experience while protecting your oral health.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, typically in the late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many experience problems such as:
- Impaction: When teeth are trapped beneath the gums or in the jaw.
- Overcrowding: Leading to misalignment of adjacent teeth.
- Infection: Due to difficulty cleaning these hard-to-reach areas.
If you’re experiencing discomfort, swelling, or signs of infection, it may be time to consider wisdom teeth removal.
