An impacted tooth is one that cannot break through the gum tissue into its proper position. When wisdom teeth are blocked from erupting normally, several complications may develop:
They may grow in at an angle, pressing against neighboring molars and causing crowding or shifting of your existing teeth.
They may only partially emerge or remain entirely trapped beneath the gum tissue and bone.
They can create pockets where bacteria accumulate, increasing the risk of infection, gum disease, and damage to adjacent teeth.
At Norwell Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center, wisdom teeth removal is one of the most frequently performed procedures by Dr. Helal and Dr. Colton. Extracting problematic wisdom teeth is an effective way to prevent dental crowding, painful gum inflammation from partial eruption, and the progression of decay or periodontal disease in the surrounding area.
Your comfort is a top priority during every procedure. Depending on the complexity of the extraction and your individual preferences, our surgeons offer local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation. Wisdom teeth removal is typically completed right here in our Norwell office, and our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
