Do I Really Need To Remove My Wisdom Teeth?
Common Reasons For Wisdom Teeth Removal
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. We'll evaluate your specific situation using digital imaging and a clinical examination, and only recommend removal when there is a clear benefit to your oral health. Here are some of the most common reasons we may suggest it.
Impacted wisdom teeth
When a wisdom tooth doesn't have enough room to emerge properly, it can become trapped beneath the gum or grow at an angle. This can lead to pressure, discomfort, and potential damage to adjacent teeth if left untreated.
Risk of crowding or misalignment
Emerging wisdom teeth can put pressure on your existing teeth, potentially shifting alignment over time. Early evaluation helps us determine whether removal may be recommended to help protect the position of your smile.
Infection and inflammation
Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets where bacteria accumulate, leading to infection, swelling, and discomfort. Removal can help reduce the risk of recurring pericoronitis and support your long-term oral health.
Decay or damage to nearby teeth
Wisdom teeth that are difficult to clean or that press against neighbouring teeth can contribute to cavities and structural damage. Removing them can help protect the health of your surrounding teeth.

We use local anesthesia to ensure you don't feel pain during the procedure. IV sedation is also available if you'd like to feel more relaxed or if your case is more complex.
