Experienced Wisdom Teeth Removal in Mill Creek, WA
Wisdom Teeth Removal is a common procedure recommended when one or more of the third molars (wisdom teeth) become impacted, infected, or cause problems for the surrounding teeth and tissues. This can happen if there is not enough room in the jaw for them to properly erupt, or if they come in at an angle, leading to pain, swelling, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.
Symptoms that may indicate the need for wisdom tooth removal include jaw discomfort, swelling in the back of the mouth, difficulty opening the jaw, or recurrent gum infections around the wisdom teeth. A dental examination and a panoramic x-ray are typically used to determine whether removal is necessary and to evaluate the position of the teeth relative to nerves, sinuses, and other structures.
We use thorough local anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure, and we offer sedation options to help ease anxiety. The affected teeth are carefully removed, and the area is cleaned to promote healing. Most patients recover quickly with simple aftercare instructions, and we closely monitor healing during future visits to support a smooth recovery.
