What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
The final two molars, which commonly develop in the late teen years, are called wisdom teeth. Situated in the farthest corners of each arch, wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, often lack proper room to comfortably develop, are hard to keep clean, and often need to be extracted to maintain general oral wellness. These teeth might be impacted (trapped under the gums or jawbone), poorly aligned, or unable to form as they should, causing several oral disorders. Dr. Mark Haridson and Dr. Jeff Warden offer wisdom tooth removal in Middle Tennessee Oral and Implant Surgery to increase dental health and safeguard against jaw pain and decay. When you or someone in your family has bothersome or unerupted wisdom teeth, call one of our offices in Murfreesboro or Smyrna, TN to learn about your options.
What Is the Wisdom Teeth Removal Process?
The wisdom teeth removal process is designed to be straightforward and comfortable with the help of modern techniques. On the day of the procedure, anesthesia options such as local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia are administered to ensure you feel at ease. Once numb, we will make a small incision in the gum to access the tooth. If necessary, the tooth may be divided into smaller sections for easier removal. After the tooth is extracted, the area is cleaned, and stitches may be placed to aid in healing. You can expect to rest comfortably after the procedure with detailed instructions for post-care.
What Are the Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth removal offers numerous benefits for your oral health and overall well-being:
- Prevents overcrowding
- Reduces risk of infection
- Protects adjacent teeth
- Eases discomfort
- Improves oral hygiene
Wisdom Tooth Extractions Reviews
Super efficient and effective! I had 4 wisdom teeth removed and was on my way home an hour later. I am recovering and thankful to have this experience over with. I dreaded it for 20 years and it wasn’t bad at all.
Very caring and diligent staff and doctors! Both my daughters wisdom teeth surgeries went very well!
Not only did Dr. Hardison do my wisdom teeth removal back in 2021, but he completed the wisdom teeth surgery on my daughter yesterday. We have had nothing, but amazing experiences with him and his team. Everyone is so friendly and Dr. Hardison has great bed side manner. I recommend him to everyone!
Hands down the absolute best staff and Oral Surgeon! I wished we would have took our oldest daughter here to get her wisdom teeth removed! Everyone was very personable and efficient. Even my husband was impressed! I told him before he went that I could already tell the 1 hour drive would be worth it because I had told call with a few questions before and they answered immediately and I didn’t have to go through any recordings. If I could give the whole office 10 stars I would it’s the little things that matter and it shows! Thank you for the best and easiest experience it calmed us as parents and we appreciated that more than you know!
All good with the tooth extraction, especially since I remember very little of being there! Dental work is not my favorite thing, but this was as easy and painless as possible. Staff was all very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this place.
