Wisdom Tooth Extractions Cottonwood Heights

Painlessly Removing Third Molars

Wisdom teeth have their name because they typically begin growing in (and causing problems) during the transition from adolescence to adulthood, between 16 and 25 years old. Oftentimes, dentists recommend wisdom teeth be removed to prevent future oral health concerns from arising, like cysts that can burst and damage the jawbone, pain, and an increased risk of orthodontic issues like crowding. Schedule a consultation and learn whether you need a wisdom tooth extraction in Cottonwood Heights.

The Wisdom Tooth Process

If the wisdom teeth aren’t impacted below the gumline, Dr. Hansen can easily remove them by lifting them out of their sockets and wiggling them free of any connective tissues. To ensure your comfort throughout the extraction, our team can administer local anesthesia or dental sedation before your treatment. Afterward, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to preserve the blood clot and help you make a speedy recovery.
