Professional Wisdom Teeth Removal in Oklahoma City
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the final set of molars to emerge, typically appearing in your late teens or early twenties. While some people experience no issues, many find that their wisdom teeth cause overcrowding, impaction or damage to surrounding teeth. These problems can lead to pain, difficulty chewing, gum disease, infections and other complications.
If your wisdom teeth are causing discomfort or are likely to lead to future dental problems, our wisdom teeth surgeon may recommend extraction. Using advanced techniques and a compassionate approach, we provide comfortable wisdom teeth removal tailored to your needs.
