Wisdom Teeth Removal in Mentor, Ohio

Wisdom teeth are almost a rite of passage and their eruption is common in people in their late teens or even into their early to mid-twenties. If someone in your home is dealing with this issue, call Albrecht Family Dentistry at 440-358-0495 and schedule a visit with our dentists. Dr. Rusty M. Albrecht, Dr. Chandice A. Richards and Dr. Lundon Albrecht can provide you or your child with a wisdom tooth removal to ensure a healthy smile.

Wisdom teeth are commonly known as third molars. They are often the last teeth to erupt from the gumline, and as such, the mouth usually does not have enough space for the wisdom teeth to grow in properly. If the wisdom teeth cannot fit, they may grow in at an odd angle or become impacted, a condition where teeth cannot grow through gum tissues and the jawbone. This may lead to several harmful dental conditions, such as:

• Teeth misalignment
• Damaged jawbones
• Infection
• Tooth decay
• Oral cysts
• Damaged surrounding teeth

To avoid these complications, our dentists may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed. Your mouth and bite will be carefully examined by our dentists to see if wisdom teeth removal is necessary for the health of your smile. If it is, we will consult with you so that you know what to expect before, during and after your wisdom teeth removal. The procedure itself should be quick and efficient to help ensure you have a positive dental experience.
