Maintaining your oral health often requires addressing potential issues before they develop into larger problems. Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that prevents complications like crowding, misalignment or infection. Dr. Chiyuan Chen at Keller Crossing Dentistry provides expert wisdom teeth removal with a focus on comfort and precision.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to develop and often do not have enough space to grow properly. This can lead to issues such as:
- Impaction: Teeth trapped beneath the gums can cause pain or infection.
- Crowding: Limited space may push other teeth out of alignment.
- Decay or Gum Disease: Difficulty cleaning the area increases the risk of cavities or infection.
Removing wisdom teeth early can prevent these complications and protect your long-term oral health.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Dr. Chiyuan Chen uses advanced techniques to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. The process includes:
- A thorough evaluation, often with tools like the CBCT scanner for detailed imaging.
- Local anesthesia or sedation options to keep you relaxed and pain-free.
- Post-procedure care instructions to promote a quick recovery and minimize discomfort.
Our dentist is here to guide you through the process, answering any questions and ensuring you feel at ease every step of the way.
