Esteem Dental & Orthodontics
We know that the prospect of wisdom teeth extraction can feel stressful. Our compassionate team at Esteem Dental is dedicated to making this experience as stress-free as possible for patients throughout Winter Garden. From your initial consultation through your recovery, we provide personalized care and support every step of the way.
Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need Removal
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the final molars that typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25. While some have enough space for these teeth to grow normally, many experience complications that necessitate removal:
Impaction Issues
When wisdom teeth don’t have adequate space to emerge properly, they become impacted. This means they remain partially or completely below the gumline, potentially leading to:
- Intense pain and swelling in the back of the mouth
- Infection of the surrounding gum tissue
- Damage to adjacent teeth as the wisdom tooth pushes against them
- Development of fluid-filled cysts that can harm the jawbone and nearby tooth roots
Even when wisdom teeth emerge fully, they can cause:
- Overcrowding that shifts your teeth out of alignment
- Damage to neighboring teeth through pressure
- Difficulty keeping proper oral hygiene in hard-to-reach areas
- Increased risk of decay and gum disease
Early evaluation of wisdom teeth development allows us to identify potential problems before they become severe. Through detailed examination and advanced imaging, we determine the position of your wisdom teeth and make a personalized treatment plan.
Our Approach to Wisdom Teeth Extraction
At Esteem Dental, we prioritize your comfort and safety during the removal of your wisdom teeth. Our process includes:
Comprehensive Evaluation
Before recommending extraction, we conduct a thorough assessment including:
- Detailed oral examination
- Advanced digital imaging to visualize the position of wisdom teeth
- Review of your medical history and any concerns
We discuss your sedation options based on your comfort level and the procedure.
Sedation Options
We offer multiple sedation approaches to ensure your comfort:
- Local anesthesia to numb the immediate area
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild relaxation
- Oral conscious sedation for moderate anxiety
- IV sedation for complete relaxation during more complex extractions
Our team determines which option is best suited to your specific situation and comfort needs.
Precise Extraction Techniques
Our skilled oral surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to:
- Reduce recovery time
- Minimize post-operative discomfort
- Lower the risk of complications
- Preserve the surrounding healthy tissue
Your recovery is important to us. We provide:
- Detailed aftercare instructions
- Appropriate pain management recommendations
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing
You can contact us Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Saturday and evening appointments are open by request for any concerns that arise outside of business hours.
Comprehensive Dental Care for Every Member of Your Family
From preventive checkups to complete smile makeovers, our experienced team provides personalized care in a welcoming environment.
When to Consider Wisdom Teeth Removal
Early intervention often leads to better outcomes. Consider evaluation if you experience:
- Pain or tenderness near the back of your mouth
- Swelling or redness around your back molars
- Persistent bad breath or unpleasant taste
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- Damage to adjacent teeth
Even without symptoms, we recommend a wisdom teeth evaluation for most patients in their late teens to early twenties. This preventive approach allows us to address potential issues before they cause discomfort or damage.
Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days after wisdom teeth removal. During your recovery period, we recommend:
- Applying ice packs to reduce swelling
- Taking prescribed or recommended pain medications as directed
- Eating soft foods for the first few days
- Avoiding straws, smoking, and spitting to prevent dry socket
- Rinsing with warm salt water after surgery
Our team at Esteem Dental provides detailed recovery instructions and will be available to handle any concerns you may have throughout your healing process.
