How much does it cost to remove all four wisdom teeth?

It costs around $300 – $700 to remove one wisdom tooth. Removal of partially erupted wisdom teeth and also lower wisdom teeth costs more than the upper teeth due to the difficulty in removal of the teeth. Dental insurance covers the cost of wisdom teeth removal, and we bill the insurance directly.

Who will remove the wisdom teeth?

Dr. Smitha Manoj and Dr. Steven Zhao are well-experienced and gentle in wisdom teeth removal. 

Is it better to get 2 or 4 wisdom teeth removed?

If all the wisdom teeth are not favorably positioned, it is better to get all four removed. Removing all four wisdom teeth will help to avoid complications in the future.

How painful is wisdom teeth removal? Are you awake during the procedure?

Wisdom teeth removal is not painful. Profound local anesthesia ensures that nothing is felt during the procedure. You will be conscious during the procedure; you may choose laughing gas if you want to ease your tension and feel relaxed during wisdom teeth removal. Mild tenderness may last for a few days after the procedure. Adequate medicines will be prescribed so you won’t feel any discomfort after the procedure.

Do dentists remove all four wisdom teeth at once? How long does it take to remove all four wisdom teeth?

Yes, when needed, all four wisdom teeth are removed. It would take around 20 – 30 minutes to remove all four wisdom teeth.

How soon can you talk and eat after removing the wisdom teeth?

It will be difficult to talk for a few hours after the removal of wisdom teeth due to the effect of local anesthesia. After 1- 2 hours, the numbness will wear off and you can eat soft food and talk better.

When is it Necessary to Pull a Wisdom Tooth?

Wisdom tooth extractions are so common they almost seem to be a rite of passage for young adults. While it is only necessary to pull a wisdom tooth under specific situations, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons states that over 50% of individuals will have at least one wisdom tooth extracted from the ages of 16 to 24.

Here are some of the complications that can result from a wisdom tooth erupting improperly:

  • Impacted wisdom tooth. An impacted wisdom tooth occurs when there is not enough space in the dental arch for the tooth to erupt properly. This can increase the risk of tooth decay and other complications since bacteria and food particles can become lodged between the wisdom tooth and gums. This can eventually lead to a condition known as pericoronitis, which is a chronic infection around the tissues of impacted teeth. This can result in periodontal disease and periodontitis, which can eventually lead to tooth loss.
  • Dental crowding. When there is not enough space in the arch for teeth to come in, they can force other teeth out of alignment. The result is often crowded, crooked, and overlapping teeth. The erupting wisdom tooth can also damage neighboring teeth. Dental crowding, as previously mentioned, can cause difficulty in performing basic oral hygiene functions such as brushing and flossing.
  • Oral cysts. Prior to teeth coming in, they form in a sac inside the jawbone. If the wisdom tooth is unable to erupt, this sac can become inundated with bacteria, which can lead to the formation of an oral cyst. Oral cysts can damage hard and soft tissues and – in rare instances – can lead to non-cancerous tumors that require surgical removal.

The best way to avoid complications with an erupting wisdom tooth is to consult with your dentist. Call Polaris Dental for a consultation today!

Watch for These Signs of an Improperly Erupting Wisdom Tooth

The best way to determine if you are experiencing complications from an erupting wisdom tooth is through a professional consultation. But, there are a few things you can watch out for if you are concerned. If you notice any of these symptoms you should meet with your dentist as soon as possible:

  • Pain around the eruption site. Some tenderness can be expected when a tooth erupts, but when the pain is severe or an infection is followed by the eruption of wisdom teeth, you should visit your dentist.   
  • Presence of pus. Wisdom tooth infection can cause pus discharge. It may also indicate the presence of gum disease.
  • Foul breath or taste. When a wisdom tooth becomes impacted or causes crowding, it can lead to a buildup of bacteria, which can cause a foul taste or breath.
  • Facial swelling or pain. Inflammation is the body’s natural reaction to injury and infection. Consult your dentist if you notice swelling around the jaw, lymph nodes, neck, or face. Persistent headaches, earaches, as well as pain or stiffness in the face or neck areas may also indicate a wisdom tooth complication.

It’s worth noting that you can have wisdom tooth complications without any obvious symptoms. This is why it’s important to attend regular checkups with your dentist.

What to Expect During a Wisdom Tooth Extraction

An evaluation is needed to assess the position of the wisdom teeth and determine whether they should be removed. Our dentists are well-trained and experienced in performing wisdom teeth procedures. 

Many issues can happen if your jaw cannot accommodate the wisdom teeth. The gum tissue around wisdom teeth can become infected, causing dull, aching pain that eventually progresses to severe dental infection, causing extreme pain and swelling of the face. If left untreated, the second molar will also get caries or gum disease due to bone loss. 

What is the process of removal of wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth removal is a painless procedure. All four wisdom teeth are removed in one appointment. Extracting all four wisdom teeth may take around 20 -30 minutes. We will give you detailed post-extraction instructions. It may take a couple of days to eat and drink normally.
