Oral Surgery/Extractions

Libertyville Dental Associates treats a wide ranges of problems in both adults and children including EXTRACTION OF TEETH

It is sometimes necessary to extract a tooth if it is severely damaged due to decay or trauma. Wisdom teeth are another source of concern when their growth affects your other teeth.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 and 25 at the back of the mouth. They are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth – this is known as “impacted wisdom teeth”. Wisdom teeth can grow unnoticed until they start to cause issues in the mouth.

The Wisdom Tooth Surgical Procedure

Wisdom teeth are extracted either because they have already become impacted or because they are potentially problematic. The extraction of wisdom teeth can be a troublesome procedure. For more complicated procedures we will recommend an oral surgeon.
