Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Our experts provide the details about wisdom teeth extractions.

  • Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
    Not always. If they grow in properly and don’t cause issues, they can stay. Dr. Smith evaluates each case individually to make the best recommendation.
  • Will removing wisdom teeth change my facial appearance?
    No, removing wisdom teeth does not cause noticeable changes to your facial appearance, however temporary facial swelling after the procedure is normal.
  • How long will it take to recover from wisdom tooth removal?

    The average recovery time for wisdom tooth removal is 3 to 7 days. You can expect some pain and swelling initially, which should improve within a few days. However, complete healing may take up to two weeks. Dr. Smith will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

  • Does age affect the difficulty of wisdom tooth extraction?
    Yes, age impacts the complexity of the procedure and the recovery process. Typically the ideal time for wisdom teeth extraction is the mid-teenage years to early 20s. However, Dr. Smith frequently performs extractions for patients outside this age range as well.
  • What is a dry socket?
