Wisdom Teeth Removal in West Palm Beach, FL

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people never experience issues, most will face complications such as pain, infection, or overcrowding, making removal a proactive and often necessary step. At South Florida Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our experienced, board-certified oral surgeons provide safe, comfortable wisdom teeth removal for patients in West Palm Beach, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens.

Using advanced diagnostics and sedation options, we perform routine and complex extractions with expert precision, so you can heal quickly and return to life comfortably.

What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Do They Need to Be Removed?

Wisdom teeth are the last permanent teeth to emerge, often without enough room in the mouth. This can result in:

• Impacted teeth trapped in the jaw or gums
  
• Infection or gum inflammation from partially erupted teeth
  
• Crowding or shifting of surrounding teeth
  
• Tooth decay in hard-to-reach areas
  
• Cysts or jaw damage from untreated impactions
  

We use 3D imaging to evaluate your wisdom teeth and determine whether removal is necessary to prevent long-term issues.

Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Right for You?

Wisdom teeth extraction may be recommended if you:

• Experience pain, swelling, or jaw stiffness
  
• Have partially erupted or impacted molars
  
• Are you planning for orthodontic treatment
  
• Notice signs of infection or tooth decay
  
• Want to prevent future dental complications
  

We typically recommend removal in the late teens or early twenties, before roots fully develop and while healing is faster.

What to Expect During Your Wisdom Teeth Procedure

Step 1: Consultation & Imaging

We begin with a comprehensive exam and CBCT scan to map the exact position and condition of your wisdom teeth.

Step 2: Sedation & Extraction

We offer a range of sedation dentistry options, from local anesthesia to IV sedation. The procedure involves a small incision (if impacted), removal of the tooth, and suturing if needed.

Step 3: Recovery & Aftercare

After surgery, you’ll receive complete post-operative care instructions to ensure smooth healing. Most patients resume their daily routines within 3–5 days.

Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

• Prevents crowding and misalignment
  
• Reduces the risk of infection, inflammation, and decay
  
• Minimizes the need for future dental or orthodontic work
  
• Eases jaw pain and pressure
  
• Promotes better long-term oral health
  

Wisdom teeth removal is often the safest choice, even before symptoms arise, to avoid more complex issues later in life.
