Out-of-network means your dentist doesn’t have a set payment deal with your insurance company. You can still go to them, but your insurance might cover less of the cost, so you’ll pay more than you would with an in-network dentist. Sometimes, depending on your plan, your insurance may not pay anything — in that case, you would pay the full amount yourself.

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically erupt between ages 17 and 25. They often lack space to grow properly, leading to issues like crowding or infection.

Wisdom teeth do not always need to be removed. Most of the time however, either the upper or lower jaw does not have enough space to fit your wisdom teeth. This can cause infection issues and problems keeping the area clean so it is highly recommended to remove them when symptoms are present. 

The ideal window is typically between ages 13 and 20. At this stage, the roots aren’t fully developed, making the procedure easier and recovery quicker. But every patient is different—we’ll take X-rays to determine the right timing for you.

We usually recommend having all four wisdom teeth removed at the same time. Doing them individually can mean going through multiple recoveries and surgical discomfort more than once. By removing all four at once, we help minimize repeated healing periods and make the overall recovery process smoother. That said, we’ll review your X-rays together and discuss the best plan for your specific situation.

Pain isn’t the only reason to remove wisdom teeth. Even without symptoms, they may be growing at an angle, pushing against other teeth, or trapped under the gums (impacted). Regular monitoring and imaging can help us determine if keeping them is truly safe.

Depending on a variety of factors, wisdom tooth extraction can be more difficult than other teeth, but for the most part, a wisdom tooth extraction is a fairly routine process performed by your dentist. If the dentist notices a situation that presents a more complicated extraction, they will discuss it with you beforehand, but it usually isn’t a major cause for concern.

An impacted wisdom is the third molar at the very back of your mouth that doesn’t have enough room to emerge or develop in a normal manner. This will usually lead to complications if it’s not taken care of by a dentist, leading to further discomfort or the possibility of more extensive dental procedures down the road. It’s best to take the advice of your dentist when the suggest the extraction of one or more of your third molars to prevent other oral health issues.

An impacted wisdom tooth is one that doesn’t fully emerge due to insufficient space or improper alignment. This can cause pain, swelling, or infection.

Common signs include pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, or recurring infections. During an exam and X-rays, we can determine if extraction is necessary.

An extraction may be needed for severely decayed, damaged, or infected teeth, or to make space for orthodontic treatment or impacted wisdom teeth.

The procedure itself is painless because we use local anesthesia and offer sedation options. Some soreness is normal afterward, but we provide guidance for a smooth recovery.

Stick to soft foods like soup, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods.

A dry socket occurs when the blood clot protecting the extraction site is dislodged. Avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or vigorous rinsing to reduce the risk.

Dental bone grafting is a procedure where bone material is placed in the jaw to help rebuild or preserve bone after a tooth is removed. When wisdom teeth are taken out, especially in the back of the mouth, the surrounding bone can sometimes be thin or at risk of shrinking. A bone graft helps maintain the strength and shape of the jawbone, supports proper healing, and preserves the option for future treatments such as dental implants. Your dentist may recommend it if they see that the bone around your wisdom tooth needs extra support for long-term oral health.
