Wisdom Teeth Removal
At Coast Dental Golden Gate, located at 5445 Airport Pulling Rd N in Fort Myers, we understand that wisdom teeth can sometimes cause discomfort and impact your oral health. That’s why our experienced team is here to provide expert care and guidance. Our knowledgeable dentists can assess your wisdom teeth and determine if they need to be removed. In simple cases, the extraction can be performed right in our comfortable Fort Myers office. However, if the wisdom teeth extractions are more complex, our dentists may refer you to a skilled oral surgeon at Coast Dental.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge in your mouth. Typically, they start appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. If there is enough space in your mouth and the teeth come in properly positioned, there may not be a need for extraction.
Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal
If your jaw doesn’t have enough room to accommodate your wisdom teeth, our Fort Myers dentists may recommend their removal. Impacted wisdom teeth, which are partially or completely trapped beneath the gum line, can lead to complications. They may cause pressure on other teeth, resulting in misalignment and potential pain during eating or speaking. To prevent further issues, extracting the wisdom teeth is often the best solution.
If you’re experiencing discomfort or suspect your wisdom teeth are causing problems, we encourage you to call Coast Dental Golden Gate at (239) 597-7032 to schedule a consultation. Our dentists can evaluate your condition, and if necessary, take X-rays to accurately assess the situation. Based on their findings, they will provide professional advice on whether wisdom teeth extractions should be performed at our Golden Gate office or if a referral to an oral surgeon at one of our nearby locations is recommended.
