Get ahead of your wisdom teeth.
Comfortable removal that prevents crowding, pain and infection, with clear guidance on recovery and cost so you can plan around school or work. Most PPO plans accepted.
Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
Not automatically. If your wisdom teeth come in straight, have room and you can clean them well, they can often stay. An exam and X-ray show what’s going on below the surface.
If removal is likely, earlier is often simpler: in younger patients the roots aren’t fully formed and the bone is more flexible, which tends to mean an easier removal and faster recovery. Removing them is a routine tooth extraction focused on the back molars.
When we recommend removal
- Impacted Stuck under gum or bone
- Crowding Pushing other teeth out of line
- Partly erupted Gum flap traps food, prone to infection
- Painful or decayed Hard to clean that far back
What recovery looks like
First 24 hours
Rest and let a clot form. Bite gently on gauze, use ice for swelling, and stick to cool, soft foods. Arrange a ride home.
Days 2 to 3
Swelling and soreness usually peak, then ease. Keep eating soft foods and keep the area clean.
The first week
Most people feel close to normal and are back to school or work within a few days. Sockets keep healing for a couple of weeks.
What to avoid
No straws, smoking or vigorous rinsing for several days. If pain gets worse around day three or four, call us — it can signal a dry socket.
How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?
Cost depends on how many teeth you’re having removed and how they’re positioned. A typical all-four case combines several of these, so we give you one clear total.
Most PPO plans cover a portion, especially when removal is medically necessary. For four-tooth cases we offer flexible payment through Cherry and CareCredit; see insurance and financing.
Per tooth (2026 fee schedule)
- Fully erupted ~$250
