Having Wisdom Teeth Issues? Early Removal Could Save You from Future Complications

Most adults have two full sets of molars in place by age 12. However, between the ages of 16 and 20, a third set of molars, commonly called wisdom teeth, appears. In an ideal scenario, these wisdom teeth would smoothly integrate into the dental arch, but this is often untrue. Wisdom teeth are troublesome because there is often insufficient space to accommodate them properly. They frequently become impacted, becoming stuck within the jawbone, potentially causing damage.

Wisdom teeth may pressure adjacent teeth, resulting in shifting, overcrowding, and even nerve or root damage to neighboring teeth. These molars can develop severe cysts or infections that significantly risk your health. Even if your wisdom teeth are not causing immediate issues, early detection during their development allows us to predict potential problems. This enables Dr. Issa Salameh to perform wisdom tooth removal procedures proactively, preventing the onset of serious dental complications before they become problematic.

The Warning Signs of Wisdom Tooth Problems

What to Expect from the Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

Dr. Issa recognizes that for many patients, wisdom teeth removal is their first experience with oral surgery. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. This routine procedure involves extracting your wisdom teeth from the back of the mouth, and we ensure that every step is carefully explained. Here’s what you can expect from our approach to wisdom tooth removal:

Consultation

In your consultation with Dr. Issa, we will thoroughly examine your mouth, complemented by digital X-rays. This assessment will help us determine the position and complexity of your wisdom teeth extraction. Dr. Issa will explain the procedure and schedule your surgery date.

The Extraction

To access the tooth, Dr. Issa will create an incision in the gum tissue, and if necessary, we may need to eliminate some surrounding bone or divide the tooth into smaller pieces for a smoother extraction process. The extraction of your wisdom teeth will be conducted with precision and care. We often remove all four wisdom teeth in a single session to streamline the healing process. In cases where not all four need extraction, Dr. Issa will still remove the ones that need extraction on the same day for efficient care.

Recovery

Following the extraction, you will be given time to recuperate in a dedicated recovery area. You may experience mild swelling, so we will provide an ice pack. Dr. Issa will thoroughly discuss post-operative instructions to help you tend to the extraction site and promote optimal healing. We will also prescribe pain medication and an antibiotic if needed. If medication is prescribed, you must take the full amount, even if you feel better.

We Offer Flexible Financing to Help You Manage the Cost of Wisdom Teeth Extraction

The cost of wisdom teeth extraction can vary depending on your dental needs, but at Signature Smiles Dentistry, we strive to keep it affordable! We offer competitive third-party financing options to fit your budget and flexible in-house financing plans. Our goal is to ensure you receive the care you need without financial stress.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Alana Kekel

I can not sing my praises for Signature Smiles loud enough!!! I needed urgent surgery to remove all four Wisdom Teeth. This office got me in immediately and scheduled my surgery in 2 business days, while almost every office I called before them quoted me 6 weeks. They took my concerns seriously and made my comfort a priority through every step of the process.

The staff here are absolutely the best souls in the industry. I wish I could send every single customer service rep, hospitality provider, and care giver to this office just so they can learn by example. Every single person here is so compassionate, mindful, and genuine. From reception through the care team, the doctors, even the billing ladies - absolutely top notch. They know what they are doing. They present information to you in ways that are easy to understand and have many opportunities for you to ask questions. They listen and ask for clarity and repeat back to you to confirm they understand. T's crossed. I's dotted. The office is brilliantly designed. From a Psych perspective, you can tell a ton of time, effort, and research went into the design and planning of this office. It checks all of the boxes in creating a welcoming and calming environment.

This is getting long, but I'm sure the point is made. As far as dental offices go, I'm not sure that it can be better than this. Now if you guys just wanted to open a new network of general health care with the same principles, that might just be life changing!

This is the best dental office I have ever been to professional and caring staff. I had wisdom teeth pulled and the staff and doctors made me feel comfortable the moment I walked in. If you have ever had a fear of the dentist this place takes all that away. Extremely satisfied!

Jay Gillispie

I was recently at Signature Smiles to have my cavity redone (previous dentist) As usuall, well done. They were very friendly and professional. I've been coming to them for a few years now. I've had my wisdom teeth pulled since then and have regular check ups and cleanings. I have recommended others to thei Streetsboro location. Even if you are apprehensive about going to the dentist. They will do whatever it takes to make you feel at ease.

Your teeth are critical to your overall health, especially your heart. Make sure you take care of both your teeth and heart and use Signature Smiles as your dentist of choice.
