Different Cases and How We Can Help
Not all patients will need an extraction. We'll give you honest answers about your case, and our Merritt Island dentists will only proceed if treatment is necessary to address current problems or potential future impactions. He may assist with:
Some wisdom teeth emerge easily and in an ideal position. Because it can be harder to care for them and because they may cause problems like tooth misalignment in the future if you do not have enough room for them, we may recommend extraction. It's less involved than the extraction of impacted teeth.
Wisdom tooth impaction is a little more complex. It occurs when wisdom teeth are trying to emerge, but don't have enough room or aren't positioned correctly, causing them to become trapped below the surface. A surgical extraction can prevent them from causing pain, infection, and tooth mobility.
Have poorly positioned wisdom teeth that may become impacted in the future, or insufficient jaw space? You don't have to go through the potential discomfort or stress. Instead, our dentists can examine your teeth, gums, and jaw and see if you're a good candidate for preventative wisdom tooth extraction.
Enjoy a More Comfortable Approach to Wisdom Tooth Extractions
If your wisdom teeth are impacted, you can trust our dentist to comfortably and safely remove them. Our Merritt Island, FL, dental office has two methods to keep you at ease as we treat your teeth and improve your oral wellness:
Local Anesthesia
This is a type of anesthesia, or pain-blocking medication, applied directly to a certain area before a dental procedure. In this case, that would be your jaw and gums where your wisdom tooth or teeth are present. The anesthesia will keep you comfortable and numb as our dentist removes your tooth.
Sedation Dentistry
Whether we're removing wisdom teeth or performing a routine procedure, our patients sometimes need a little extra help staying calm. We're happy to provide nitrous oxide. It's entirely adjustable, and once we're done treating your mouth, it will quickly leave your system, allowing you to drive yourself home.
