Walker, our team combines advanced surgical techniques with compassionate care to address the common concerns associated with wisdom teeth.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge in adulthood and can often lead to complications if there is insufficient space for them to properly develop. Impacted wisdom teeth, which fail to fully emerge through the gums, can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Removal of these teeth is a proactive step towards maintaining oral health and preventing future complications.
Why would Wisdom Teeth Removal be needed?
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to a host of issues, including severe infection, decay, and crowding of adjacent teeth. These complications can not only affect your oral health but can also lead to more serious health concerns if left untreated. Wisdom teeth removal by an experienced oral surgeon in Los Gatos like Dr. Walker ensures these potential problems are addressed early, safeguarding your dental well-being.
Are You a Candidate for Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Determining the need for wisdom teeth removal begins with a comprehensive dental examination and x-rays. These diagnostic tools allow us to assess the positioning and impact of your wisdom teeth on your overall dental health. If you're experiencing discomfort, overcrowding, or if x-rays show impacted teeth, you may be an ideal candidate for this procedure.
