Protect Your Smile from Complications

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, typically in the late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many experience problems due to lack of space in the jaw. At East Van Family Dental, we provide safe and efficient wisdom teeth extractions to prevent pain, infection, and misalignment—protecting your smile and long-term oral health.

Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need Removal

Because wisdom teeth usually erupt after the rest of your adult teeth are in place, they often don’t have enough room to grow in properly. This can result in a range of complications, including:

• Impaction – Teeth remain trapped under the gum or jawbone
• Crowding – Pressure on surrounding teeth, causing misalignment
• Infection – Partially erupted teeth can trap food and bacteria
• Tooth decay – Hard-to-reach wisdom teeth are more prone to cavities
• Gum disease – Inflammation and infection around the impacted tooth

Removing wisdom teeth early—often before they cause symptoms—is the best way to avoid these issues.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Wisdom teeth extraction is a common and routine oral surgery. At East Van Family Dental, we make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

• Consultation and Imaging
  We assess your mouth using digital X-rays to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and whether extraction is necessary.
• Gentle Removal
  Depending on whether the teeth are erupted or impacted, we’ll perform a simple or surgical extraction. We use local anesthesia and can discuss sedation options to ease anxiety.
• Aftercare Support
  We provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up support to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications like dry socket or swelling.

Most patients recover in a few days with minimal discomfort, and we’re always here to address any questions or concerns during recovery.

Comfortable, Compassionate Care
