Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can sometimes become impacted or contribute to crowding, pain or infection. Our dentists assess whether removal is appropriate for you based on a clinical examination and imaging. See our full range of services.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. Most people have four wisdom teeth, one in each corner of the mouth, though some people have fewer, and in rare cases, more.
Because they come through after the rest of the adult teeth are already in place, there's often not enough room in the jaw for them to grow in properly. This can cause them to become impacted (stuck against another tooth or the jawbone), grow in at an angle, or only partially emerge through the gum. These issues can lead to pain, swelling, infection or crowding of nearby teeth.
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. Some come through without any problems and can stay in place for life. Whether removal is recommended depends on factors like positioning, the risk of future complications and your overall oral health, which is why an individual assessment is important.
