Wisdom Teeth Removal in Bethany, OK

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last to develop and often don’t have enough room to grow in properly. When left untreated, they can:

• Become impacted (stuck under gums or bone)
  
• Cause swelling, infection, or gum pain
  
• Push against nearby teeth, causing crowding
  
• Lead to cysts or damage to surrounding roots
  
• Affect alignment after orthodontic treatment
  

Removing them early — before complications arise — can help you avoid pain and protect your long-term oral health.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removed

• Pain or pressure at the back of your mouth
  
• Swelling or redness in the gums behind your molars
  
• Jaw discomfort or stiffness
  
• Difficulty opening your mouth fully
  
• Recurring infections or bad breath
  
• Visible crowding or shifting teeth
  

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, we may recommend emergency care or a prompt evaluation to determine the best treatment plan.

What to Expect During the Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process

1. Consultation & Imaging

We take digital X-rays or 3D scans to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine whether they’re impacted or at risk of future problems.

2. Numbing & Sedation

We numb the area thoroughly and offer sedation dentistry to help you relax during the procedure.

3. Tooth Removal

We carefully remove the wisdom teeth, using surgical techniques if they’re impacted or below the gum line. Dissolvable stitches are placed if needed.

4. Recovery Guidance

You’ll receive detailed post-op instructions and support throughout your healing process. Most patients recover in 3–5 days with mild discomfort.

Surgical Wisdom Tooth Extraction

When wisdom teeth are impacted or partially erupted, a surgical extraction may be necessary. This involves making a small incision and sometimes sectioning the tooth for easier removal. Don’t worry — we’ll ensure you’re completely numb and comfortable throughout the procedure.

If significant bone is removed during surgery, we may recommend bone grafting to preserve your jaw for future health.
