Wisdom teeth: expert care & removal

Facing wisdom teeth concerns in Fresno? Our experienced team provides thorough evaluations and gentle removal procedures, ensuring your comfort and optimal oral health.

What you need to know about your third molars

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. While some individuals have enough space for them to erupt without issues, for many, wisdom teeth can cause a range of problems due to impaction or improper alignment. Understanding these potential effects is the first step toward maintaining your oral health.

  • Impaction: When a wisdom tooth doesn’t fully erupt, remaining trapped beneath the gum line or bone.
  • Crowding: Pushing against existing teeth, causing misalignment and pain.
  • Pain & swelling: Common symptoms if a wisdom tooth is impacted or infected.
  • Infection: Bacteria can accumulate around partially erupted wisdom teeth, leading to gum disease or cysts.

Early evaluation of your wisdom teeth is crucial to prevent discomfort and potential complications, ensuring your long-term dental well-being.

When wisdom teeth pose a risk to your oral health, removal is often the recommended solution. Our team performs extractions with precision and a focus on your comfort.
