Protect your bite and prevent impaction, crowding, and infection with precise wisdom tooth removal and comfortable care.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, frequently lack the jaw space needed to erupt properly, resulting in impaction, crowding, or severe decay on adjacent teeth. Early evaluation and removal prevent these issues from escalating. We help you address:
Category | Typical Presentation | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
Fully Erupted & Functional | Positioned correctly in the arch with good hygiene access | Monitored regularly during routine dental checkups |
Impacted or Trapped | Trapped beneath gum tissue or bone, causing pressure or pain | Surgical extraction to prevent damage to adjacent tooth roots |
Partially Erupted | Hard to clean, trapping bacteria and causing recurrent infections | Prompt evaluation and removal to stop chronic inflammation |
We use advanced 3D scans to map root angulation, bone density, and nerve pathways relative to your third molars.
We apply local anesthesia and talk through sedation options so you stay relaxed. You will feel pressure, but you should not feel sharp pain.
We perform simple or surgical extractions meticulously to remove the wisdom teeth with minimal disruption to tissue.
We provide detailed post-operative guidance to ensure your sockets heal comfortably over the following days.
When Dr. Mohammad Hammoud plans wisdom teeth extractions, he utilizes advanced 3D CBCT imaging to eliminate guesswork regarding root positioning and nerve proximity. Because third molar anatomy can be complex, having precise diagnostic data before we start is what makes the procedure safer and quicker. If an exceptionally complex impaction requires a dedicated oral surgeon, Dr. Hammoud will tell you straight and coordinate a seamless referral.
No. If your wisdom teeth erupt fully, align properly, and can be kept clean, we may simply monitor them during your regular visits.
Evaluation is recommended during late adolescence or early adulthood, before the roots are fully formed and complications arise.
No. We thoroughly numb the area with local anesthesia, ensuring you feel only mild pressure rather than sharp pain during the removal.
Most patients recover comfortably within a few days by following our post-operative care and soft-diet instructions closely.
If you or your teen are experiencing wisdom tooth pain or crowding, contact our Dearborn team today to schedule an evaluation.
