Wisdom Tooth Extractions

If you need to have a wisdom tooth extracted, call your trusted local West Babylon dentist. Dr. Einbinder is here to provide the relief you need.

At Grace Dental Smiles, we want to protect your oral health and eliminate any possible cause of pain with general dentistry. We can help monitor the growth of wisdom teeth in teens and young adults to identify any issues before they become painful problems.

If there is any indication that wisdom teeth may disrupt the alignment of your teeth or become impacted, we can discuss the possibility of wisdom teeth removal.

Do I Need a Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that develop much later than our other teeth—usually between the ages of 15 and 25. Some people are lucky enough to have their wisdom teeth come in normal, right-side up, or not at all, but most of us are not. Because wisdom teeth are the last permanent teeth to erupt, there is often not enough room left to accommodate them. The lack of space can cause wisdom teeth to come in sideways, only partially erupt, or become impacted within the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth pose a risk to your oral health as well, including:

Abscesses and gum infections
Jaw pain and headaches
Damage to the jawbone
Shifting of permanent teeth

When it becomes apparent that one or more wisdom teeth need to be removed, you can trust the caring, compassionate team at Grace Dental Smiles.

Caring and Compassionate Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Removing questionable wisdom teeth as early as possible is usually the safest and most conservative treatment option. Dr. Einbinder will evaluate the status of your wisdom teeth with a visual exam and panoramic X-rays. If he finds that they are not erupting properly, he will thoroughly explain your options for removal and design a treatment plan that addresses your needs.

We understand that tooth extraction is something that most people prefer to avoid. However, removing wisdom teeth before they cause damage or health risks is often the best solution. Our dental team, headed by Dr. Einbinder, will explain the procedure to you and make sure you are comfortable and not in pain while they complete the extraction. For your comfort, we offer IV sedation.
