Wisdom Teeth Removal in Henderson, NV

Safe and Comfortable Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Henderson

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, these teeth often cause pain, crowding, or infections.

At Comprehensive Dental Center, we provide gentle, effective wisdom teeth removal to help prevent serious oral health problems before they start.

Whether you’re dealing with discomfort or considering preventive care, our experienced team is here to make the process smooth and stress-free.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, and most people develop up to four—two on the top and two on the bottom. However, these teeth often do not have enough room to emerge properly, leading to:

  • Impaction (trapped beneath the gums or bone)
  • Pressure on neighboring teeth
  • Jaw pain or stiffness
  • Increased risk of infection or decay

In many cases, removing wisdom teeth early can help avoid long-term complications and protect the health of your other teeth.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removed

Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth extracted, but several symptoms may indicate that it’s time to consult with a dentist:

Jaw Pain or Swelling

Discomfort near the back of your mouth may signal impacted or erupting wisdom teeth.

Inflamed or Bleeding Gums

Swelling, redness, or bleeding around the molars can be a sign of infection or irritation caused by trapped wisdom teeth.

Crowding or Shifting Teeth

New pressure from erupting wisdom teeth may cause your existing teeth to shift out of alignment.

Difficulty Chewing or Opening Your Mouth

Limited jaw movement or pain while chewing can result from impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth.

Bad Breath or Unpleasant Taste

Bacteria and food particles trapped near the wisdom teeth can lead to chronic bad breath or a lingering bad taste.

Headaches or Earaches

Wisdom tooth pressure can create tension that radiates into your jaw, ears, or temples.

We use advanced digital imaging to evaluate your wisdom teeth and recommend the best course of action.

What to Expect from the Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

At Comprehensive Dental Center, your comfort is our priority. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

  • Initial Evaluation: We take digital X-rays to determine the position of the wisdom teeth
  • Anesthesia Options: We offer local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia based on your needs
  • Minimally Invasive Removal: Teeth are carefully extracted to minimize discomfort and recovery time
  • Clear Aftercare Guidance: You’ll receive detailed instructions and support to ensure proper healing

Most patients recover within a few days with minimal swelling and manageable discomfort.
