A panoramic X-ray shows exactly how your third molars are positioned before we recommend anything. Smile Center Dentistry assesses impaction type before recommending removal.
Not every wisdom tooth needs removal — we assess each one individually rather than pulling all four by default. We'd rather assess honestly than recommend a standard four-tooth removal regardless of your actual case.
A full panoramic X-ray shows root position, nerve proximity, and impaction type before we recommend removal. Nerve proximity especially matters for lower wisdom teeth, and imaging confirms it clearly.
We don't push the most expensive sedation option by default — we recommend based on your actual case. Simple soft-tissue cases often don't need more than local anesthesia.
A soft-tissue impaction is a very different procedure than a full bony impaction, and we explain the difference. This assessment shapes both the procedure plan and what recovery will realistically look like.
You'll know realistic swelling and downtime expectations before surgery day, not discover them afterward. We'd rather set an accurate expectation than have you surprised by how you feel on day two.
Every wisdom tooth case is different depending on position and impaction type — here's what's typically involved.
A single panoramic image shows all four wisdom teeth, root position, and proximity to nerves. We review the image with you directly, pointing out what we're seeing.
These cases typically involve shorter procedure and recovery times than bony impactions. We explain why your case falls into this category if it does.
We coordinate closely with oral surgery resources for the most complex bony impaction cases. Recovery expectations are set honestly for these more involved cases.
We don't default to the most expensive option — we recommend what actually fits your situation. Pre-procedure instructions for sedation are given clearly in advance.
A follow-up check confirms healing is on track, especially for more complex bony impaction cases. We're reachable directly if recovery doesn't feel right.
When a wisdom tooth is fully erupted and functional, we may recommend monitoring rather than removal. If circumstances change, we revisit the removal conversation honestly.

You'll see your own X-ray and understand exactly what we're recommending and why.
Based on impaction complexity and your comfort preference, we proceed with the appropriate sedation level.
We're reachable directly during recovery if swelling or pain seems unusual.
"Only needed two of the four removed — they explained the other two weren't causing problems instead of pulling all four by default."
"Went with oral sedation since I'm anxious about dental work. They walked me through what to expect beforehand."
"Swelling peaked around day two exactly like they said it would. No surprises during recovery."
"Soft-tissue impaction turned out to be a quicker procedure than I braced myself for."
"Told me one of my wisdom teeth was fine to keep and monitor instead of removing all four automatically. Saved me an unnecessary procedure."
Some patients keep one or two wisdom teeth that are fully erupted and functional with no issues. We'll show you the panoramic X-ray and explain our reasoning for each tooth.
Local anesthesia, oral sedation, and IV sedation are all options, chosen based on impaction complexity and your comfort level. We'll recommend a specific option based on your case, not upsell the most expensive one.
We give a realistic timeline specific to your impaction type, not a generic estimate. We schedule a follow-up to confirm healing is on track for your specific case.
Some patients need evaluation later if problems develop, regardless of age. Earlier evaluation sometimes means an easier procedure, since roots are less developed.
Pain, swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or crowding of nearby teeth are all signs worth getting imaged soon. Don't wait for severe pain — earlier evaluation usually means easier treatment.
We break down cost per tooth so you understand what's driving the total. Sedation level chosen also affects total cost, which we discuss upfront.
