Wisdom Tooth Extractions

While there was once a time in human history where we used these molars, that’s not the case anymore.

Wisdom teeth, or ‘third molars,’ are the final set of adult teeth to emerge, usually in the late teens or early twenties. While once essential to our ancestors, most modern mouths lack the space for them. At Flagship Dental, we carefully assess whether extraction is needed to preserve your oral health—an important step, as approximately 85% of people require removal at some point in their lives.

WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION

Not everyone develops wisdom teeth, but those who do may have one to four additional molars. When there isn’t enough space for them to fully emerge—known as impacted wisdom teeth—they can cause complications. At Flagship Dental, we carefully evaluate each case and guide you on whether extraction is the best choice for preserving your long-term oral health.

We know many patients feel more comfortable with mild sedation during wisdom tooth extraction. At your checkup, we’ll take the time to understand your needs and discuss the best approach to keep you relaxed and at ease.
