Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure aimed at alleviating pain, removing infection, and restoring dental health. We specialize in the safe and efficient removal of wisdom teeth to ensure a comfortable experience for patients.
Why Do I Need My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
At Foothills Oral Surgery, we often recommend the removal of wisdom teeth, or third molars, to prevent common and potential complications. Our highly skilled surgeons have observed that many patients lack sufficient space in their jaws for these teeth to properly emerge, which can lead to impaction, pain, infection, and possible damage to adjacent teeth. By choosing to have your wisdom teeth removed at one of our three locations, you're entrusting your care to to top tier board-certified oral surgeons dedicated to preserving your oral health and comfort.
