WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS

​

WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS

Third molars (wisdom teeth) typically erupt during late adolescence or early adulthood but frequently become impacted due to insufficient alveolar space. Westfort Family Dental provides safe, comfortable wisdom tooth extraction procedures utilizing local anesthesia, and nitrous oxide sedation options as clinically indicated.

Our practice offers gentle extraction procedures using advanced local anesthetic techniques to ensure patient comfort throughout the surgical process. While our primary objective is tooth preservation, extraction may be clinically necessary in the following circumstances:

• Extensive Carious Destruction

• Severe Periodontal Disease

• Traumatic Fractures

• Impacted or Malpositioned Teeth

• Orthodontic Requirements

Post-extraction site preservation is clinically essential, as failure to replace extracted teeth results in alveolar bone resorption, mesial drift of adjacent teeth, and occlusal instability. These complications can lead to malocclusion, temporomandibular dysfunction, and compromised oral function.

Our practice provides comprehensive tooth replacement options including dental bridges and removable partial prosthetics to maintain proper occlusion, preserve alveolar architecture, and restore optimal oral function following extraction procedures.
