Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, are the last set of teeth to emerge in the back of the mouth, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, wisdom teeth do not have enough space to emerge properly, leading to impaction, infection, damage to neighboring teeth, or other dental issues. Wisdom tooth surgery may become necessary when these teeth do not emerge properly or cause pain or discomfort.
At Missoula Dental Arts, Dr. Tyler Bond's expertise in restorative dentistry, combined with his gentle approach and modern techniques, ensures a safe and comfortable extraction procedure, providing appropriate sedation options to alleviate anxiety and discomfort. Dr. Bond's approach to wisdom tooth surgery is focused on providing personalized and effective treatment, tailored to each patient's specific needs and the severity of their condition.
Before the surgery, Dr. Bond will conduct a comprehensive oral examination, which may include radiographs and clinical assessments, to evaluate the location and position of the wisdom teeth and the extent of any damage or infection. Based on this evaluation, Dr. Bond will recommend the best course of treatment, including appropriate sedation options to ensure a comfortable and stress-free procedure.
During the surgery, Dr. Bond will administer local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the patient's needs and preferences, to ensure minimal discomfort during the extraction. The procedure involves making an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and then gently removing the tooth using specialized instruments. After the extraction, Dr. Bond will provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions, including pain management, proper oral hygiene, and diet recommendations, to facilitate a smooth and quick recovery process.
At Missoula Dental Arts, we understand the anxiety and stress that can come with dental surgery, which is why we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire process.
