This is one of our most common questions, and honestly, the answer varies for each person! Wisdom teeth (third molars) sometimes emerge without issues, but often there isn't enough space in the modern human jaw to accommodate them properly.
During your comprehensive examination, we'll evaluate your wisdom teeth using digital imaging and discuss whether removal would benefit your particular situation. Factors we consider include positioning, impact on adjacent teeth, cleaning accessibility, and potential future complications. If removal is recommended, we'll thoroughly explain why and ensure you're comfortable with either handling it in our practice or referring to one of our trusted surgical specialists.
