Wisdom Teeth Extraction

If you have not had your wisdom teeth extracted, you might need them removed at some point down the line. Our dentist, Michael M Okano DDS, takes pride in performing painless wisdom tooth extractions. Though you might feel a small amount of discomfort when your wisdom teeth are removed, we go to great lengths to provide the right level of anesthetic for each individual patient for complete comfort.

The removal of your wisdom teeth involves creating a small incision within the gum to access the teeth in question. The dentist might also have to remove a bit of the bone that covers the tooth. If necessary, the dentist will cut the tooth into small pieces so it can be removed that much more easily through the opening. If the tooth has emerged through the gum, there’s even less of a need to perform an incision. The site of extraction will be numb so you won’t feel pain as the wisdom teeth are extracted.
