Process

Consultation: We use digital X-rays and advanced imaging to evaluate the position and condition of your wisdom teeth, allowing us to develop a customized treatment plan based on their location, alignment and complexity.

Anesthesia & Sedation: The area will be completely numbed for comfort, with options for oral or IV sedation to help you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your procedure.

Extraction: Wisdom teeth are carefully loosened and removed; if impacted, a small incision may be made to access the tooth safely and minimize discomfort during removal.
