Wisdom Tooth Removal
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last four teeth to grow into your mouth. They usually grow in between the ages of 17 and 25. Even when there are no obvious problems, proactive parents bring their teens in if they are at risk of future dental complications from wisdom teeth, such as overcrowding or infections. Wisdom teeth that come in at an angle can also damage otherwise healthy teeth that are nearby.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth:
A Common Problem
Nine out of every 10 patients have at least one impacted wisdom tooth, according to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

What to Expect During
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Before taking any steps, our oral surgeons in Cocoa, FL, will first assess your mouth using panoramic X-rays. Our advanced imaging technology provides detailed information that is not captured in a typical dental X-ray. Using this information, our doctors are able to precisely plan your surgery and avoid nearby sensitive tissue, such as important nerves in the jaw.
Our oral surgeons have advanced training and are better prepared than a typical dentist to handle complex wisdom teeth removal cases.
