Wisdom teeth often emerge during the late teenage years or early adulthood, but they do not always have enough space to grow properly. When wisdom teeth become impacted or cause crowding, they can lead to pain, infection and other dental issues. At Just for Grins Family Dentistry and Orthodontics, we provide professional and gentle wisdom teeth removal to protect your oral health. Dr. Jonathan Angwin and associates are dedicated to making the experience as comfortable as possible while ensuring the best outcome for your smile.

Why Wisdom Teeth Removal May Be Necessary

Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, but in many cases, it is recommended to prevent complications. Some common reasons for removal include:

  • Impacted teeth – Wisdom teeth that are trapped under the gums can cause pain and swelling.
  • Overcrowding – Extra teeth can push against existing teeth, leading to misalignment.
  • Infection risk – Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create spaces where bacteria grow, increasing the risk of infection.
  • Jaw pain and discomfort – Pressure from wisdom teeth can lead to soreness and headaches.
  • Cyst formation – In rare cases, impacted teeth can lead to cysts that affect the jawbone and surrounding teeth.

Our dentists will evaluate your wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action for your long-term dental health.

We understand that wisdom teeth removal can feel overwhelming, but our team prioritizes your comfort every step of the way. The process includes:
